Call for “bloody resistance”
Politicians receive threatening letters with pieces of meat
The protests against the corona measures are becoming increasingly radical. Individual politicians are also repeatedly targeted. Berlin’s Mayor Müller, high-ranking MPs and other institutions even receive threatening letters openly calling for violence.
Several high-ranking politicians have received threatening letters referring to corona measures. The Rbb reports and relies on ARD information. The letters announce a “bloody resistance” to compulsory vaccination. One of them was therefore addressed to Berlin’s Governing Mayor Michael Müller, others to members of the Bundestag. Other addressees were the media, as well as public institutions such as police authorities.
The threatening letters received a piece of meat that was wrapped in aluminum foil. In an attached notice it said: “The meat is contaminated with radiating Covid-19 viruses and with Zyklon B. The resistance to the vaccination and the measures are bloody and unsavory.” There are not yet any references to the author (s) of the threatening letters.
The piece of meat and the threatening letters were passed on to the forensic investigation at the State Criminal Police Office in Berlin. According to Rbb, however, no hazardous substances have been identified. “Broadcasting Covid-19 viruses” do not exist anyway. Zyklon B is a hydrogenated gas that is fatal to humans as soon as it is inhaled. It was used by the Nazis for mass murder, for example in the Auschwitz-Birkenau extermination camp.
Weekend riots
In politics, there is growing concern about the radicalization of opponents of government measures to combat corona. At the weekend there were again demonstrations, some of which were violent, in several German cities. Thuringia’s Interior Minister Georg Maier warned: “We as a society have to find a very clear language.” A small minority is becoming “louder and louder, more and more radical,” said the SPD politician. Right-wing extremists took advantage of this. The minister criticized calls to publish the addresses of politicians as “perfidious and unbearable”, “so that they no longer have a good life”.
With a view to the protests, the Brandenburg Prime Minister Dietmar Woidke asked in a cabinet meeting “to think carefully about who you are going to take on the street with”. “It is justified and legitimate to criticize,” said Woidke. Those responsible are also likely to be criticized. The threat to local politicians, vaccinators and volunteers, on the other hand, is “a limit that must not be exceeded,” he warned.
