Constituency office of Left Party politician Pellmann smeared

The constituency office of Leipzig Left Party politician Sören Pellmann has once again become the target of a paint attack. Unknown persons sprayed the words "Away with the red plague" on the office windows with white paint. The 48-year-old, who won a direct mandate in his home town for the third time in a row in the Bundestag elections, took it relatively calmly.

"Attacks on my constituency office are nothing new. There was a lot of damage to property and threats, especially during the local and state election campaign last year," explained Pellmann. It is also nothing new that attacks on politicians are on the rise and that the debate is becoming more and more brutal. "I will not be deterred by this. I have to disappoint the perpetrators, the 'red plague' will not go away."
