The President of the European Parliament, Roberta Metsola, has assured SPD MEP Matthias Ecke of her support and solidarity following the attack on him. She was "appalled by the vicious attack", Metsola wrote on the X platform (formerly Twitter). Those responsible must be brought to justice. "Matthias, the European Parliament stands by your side," she added.

Ecke had been beaten up by four unidentified people in Dresden while putting up election posters, leaving him in need of surgery.
