Threats against ex-SPD district councillor
Ex-SPD district councillor Angelika Eller-Wiedemann advertises a demonstration “against the right” at a “farmers’ demonstration” in Lindenberg on 20th of January 2024 and is threatened by a row of ten men: “Behind my back, someone shouted: She has to walk across the town square at night. Immediately followed by a second call: She would only do that once.“ Angelika Eller-Wiedemann clearly sees this as an attempt at intimidation, because of the previous advertising of the demo “against the right”: “I am convinced that systematically trained squads of right-wing radicals were on site,” the 68-year-old told the Allgäuer Zeitung.

Window of the party office of the Greens smashed
Between 1st and 3rd December 2023, an attack was carried out on the office of Tim Pargent, a member of the state parliament of the Bündnis 90/Die Grünen party. During the attack, the large window at the entrance was smashed with a stone, causing property damage of around 2000 euros. According to the police, a political motive is suspected. “Even during the election campaign, we had to notice a brutalization in the tone of conversation,” Pargent said. He is concerned about the condition of society as a whole and assumes a targeted attack on his person or his party: “(…) in the case of an attack on a parliamentarian’s office, you have to assume at least a political motive,” he said in an interview with the newspaper “Kurier”.

Threatening postcards against Die Linke politicians
Several Bavarian state parliament candidates of the party “Die Linke” have received self-made postcards, which are to be understood as a threat. It contained cryptic messages that could be attributed to the extreme right, as well as allusions to high-profile deaths and assassinations. Those affected clearly see these postcards as intimidation, which is “intended to silence female candidates in particular”. The threatening letters have appeared not only in Bavaria, but also in other federal states among state parliament candidates before the elections. Often the threatening letters were sent to the office address, but sometimes also to the private addresses. Several of those affected describe that they did not feel taken seriously by the police and their sometimes complete lack of investigative work.
