attack on politicians: man in court for throwing stone on green duo

a alleged Steine , who attacked the Greens-Spitzenduo Katharina Schulze and Ludwig Hartmann during the state election campaign in Bavaria, will be on trial in autumn. The trial against the accused is scheduled for October 29, as the director of the Neu-Ulm District Court, Thomas Kirschner, told the German Press Agency.

The man who is charged with attempted dangerous bodily harm and resistance to enforcement officers is said to have thrown a stone towards the stage in Neu-Ulm on September 17, 2023 in Neu-Ulm. The politicians remained unharmed, but Schulze described the incident as her "worst moment" in the election campaign.

The Attorney General in Munich took over the case on the basis of its political dimension. The accused is assigned to the Reich Citizens' and lateral thinker scene. “Reichsbürger” are people who do not recognize the Federal Republic of Germany and its authorities.

The stone thrower was arrested directly by police officers, even though he defended himself. Later he confessed to the act, but stated that he did not want to hurt anyone and resulted in his action out of dissatisfaction with the political Situation.

The incident shows the increasing willingness to violence in the political dispute and illustrates the need to express political opinions in a peaceful and democratic way.
