“Psycho Lauterbach”
Vaccination opponents smear Lauterbach’s office
It’s no secret that Karl Lauterbach didn’t just make friends during the pandemic. Opponents of the vaccination have even visited his private apartment several times, says the new health minister. Now new slogans adorn his constituency office.
The Cologne constituency office of the new Federal Minister of Health Karl Lauterbach was smeared with slogans during the night that are apparently related to the corona vaccinations. As a police spokeswoman said, strangers smeared, among other things, “Minister of Disease” and “Murderer” as well as “Hands off our children” and “Psycho Lauterbach” at the office. The state security has started the investigation. The investigators are now looking for witnesses.
Lauterbach himself had made the process public in an interview with “BILD”. Anti-vaccination campaigners have also visited his private apartment several times, according to the SPD politician. Last Friday, four people held an unauthorized demonstration in front of Lauterbach’s apartment in Cologne. The police had given the opponents to the vaccination site and posted complaints about an unannounced gathering. The previous SPD member and health expert Lauterbach had only taken his oath of office as health minister on Wednesday.
Saxony’s Deputy Prime Minister Martin Dulig has demanded a clear response from the rule of law to the radicalization of opponents of the state’s corona policy. In the Federal Council, the SPD politician recalled, among other things, the march of protesters with torches in front of the house of the Saxon Health Minister Petra Köpping and the wishes for murder against Saxony’s Prime Minister Michael Kretschmer expressed in the Telegram communications service. It must become clear “that the rule of law is using all means at its disposal to give a clear stop signal, to persecute it consistently and also to punish it,” said the SPD politician in the Federal Council in Berlin. “People want to be protected. And they also want to know that the state is able to act,” said Dulig.
