Vandalism in the election campaign: posters as targets of destruction!

In the starting election campaign, there are alarming incidents of vandalism in Herzogenburg and in the district of Ebersberg, which throw a massive question mark behind political cooperation. For example, the mayor of Herzogenburg, whose election posters were sprayed and private property was damaged, was testified to these cultural -free actions. In particular, his portrait was cut out of a poster on Friday night and deposited at the local cemetery, while his car smeared with brown color and the tires were stabilized. The mayor and the People's Party were horrified and affirmed: "Property damage is fundamentally unacceptable and sentenced-regardless of whom or what it affects", such as Noen reported .

In the neighboring community of Ebersberg, the location runs similarly dramatically. Here, political posters of the parties are currently the goal of massive destruction. Mayor Leonhard Spitzauer criticized the damage to the election posters as "a criminal offense" and estimated that up to 50 percent of the posters had to be replaced in Vaterstetten after just one week. The police are alerted by the frequent reports and reports on an increasing number of vandalism cases. Posters of the Greens and the left are particularly affected, which have always been the goal of harmony -loving attacks in recent years. "The destruction of election posters weakens our democratic processes," emphasized Spitzauer, while the district councilor of the Greens, Ottilie Eberl, added: "To destroy the property of others is a crime", like Süddeutsche Zeitung reports .

The presence of such violent attacks on the politically committed property throws a dark light on the upcoming elections in Bavaria. The persistent rage of destruction must be observed and controlled urgently in order to make the democratic exchange clean and respectful. The call to return to a respectful discussion is loudly supported by the politicians concerned - voters have the right to find out about the different political options, and do so without fear of destruction.
