anger and violence in politics

The incident is part of an increasing violence against AfD politicians, in which the media and political opponents are often not innocent, as the AfD city association criticizes. At Raatz, the attack left not only mental, but also physical traces: bruises and light skull brain trauma had to be treated in the hospital.

Raatz filed a complaint against Gottschalk soon after the incident. The state security is now investigating because of dangerous bodily harm and a politically motivated background cannot be excluded. The shattering incident could hit large waves in the political landscape of North Rhine-Westphalia.

a political scandal

the wdr not only has sharp words for the act itself, but also demands an official Sorry from the SPD. Martin Vincentz, the state spokesman for the AfD, described the incident as a political turning point and urged that the SPD distances itself from the crime and apologizes to the victim. Vincentz emphasizes that such violence must not occur, especially in the election campaign, a claim that was emphasized.

Norbert Raatz has contributed to the fact that the incident comes to light by putting the surveillance video online on which the outbreak of violence can be seen. This probability occurred in a particularly critical moment - shortly before the upcoming elections, where the nerves are already bare. Politics remains tense, because the question of how it could come so far remains unanswered.
