Neubrandenburg: New flag claw stirs up protest against homophobia!
Neubrandenburg, Deutschland - The scandalous events around the rainbow flag in Neubrandenburg do not tear off! Unknown people struck again and stolen a rainbow flag - this time at the center of the "Queernb" association. Eyewitnesses report a willful attack: the flag mast was damaged and the flag that stands for tolerance and diversity was stolen! The police estimate the damage to 35 euros, but the symbolic loss weighs much more.
Neubrandenburg is the focus of attention after the rainbow flag at the train station has been decreased several times in the months before and replaced by swastika or Nazi flags. These shocking incidents meant that the city council decided on October 9 to no longer raise the rainbow flag at the train station. A decision that triggered numerous discussions and puts the citizens into turmoil.
political consequences and resignation
Mayor Silvio Witt, who announced his resignation for May 2025 this week, sees the flag affair as the last trigger for his retreat. The openly homosexual politician spoke openly about the repeated insults on social media and abuse of city representatives who deeply violated him. Neubrandenburg is in a political crisis, while the call for tolerance and against queer hostility is becoming more and more urgent. The citizens have enough of ignorance and look away! Between anger and disappointment, the question remains how things will go with the city, which makes national headlines - but not for the best reasons.| Details | |
