Leipzig MP Sören Pellmann (Left Party) has been threatened again, according to his own statements. On Monday morning, dog excrement and a flyer smeared with swastikas and threats were found in the letterbox of his constituency office, he announced on Monday. This was the second time in four days. "I see this disgusting act as an attack on my candidacy for the city council elections." He wanted to report it. The police were not yet aware of the incident when asked.

"For weeks, we have had to observe how aggressively and cruelly perpetrators are acting towards democrats," said Pellmann. This begins with the increased tearing down of posters and continues with insults and physical attacks such as the one on SPD MEP Matthias Ecke at the weekend.
