Ο δήμαρχος του Neubrandenburg παραιτείται: εξέγερση ενάντια στις σημαίες του ουράνιου τόξου!

in Neubrandenburg, the third largest city of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, a controversial city representative vote causes a stir: The rainbow flag at the train station is no longer shown. This shameful result followed a number of actions by unknown people who had taken the rainbow flags and even replaced one with a swastika flag, as world reported. The proposal came from Councilor Tim Großmüller from the "Stable Citizens for Neubrandenburg" electoral community and received the support of the AfD, while the SPD, Greens and LINKE vehemently spoke out.

As a direct episode of this decision, the non-party mayor Silvio Witt, an open supporter of the LGBTQ+community, announced his resignation for May 2025. Witt, who is homosexual himself, explained that he had been put under massive pressure and had repeatedly experienced insulting attacks. Despite the current events, there are efforts to bring the rainbow flag back: a petition for recovery has already collected 5,600 supporters in a short time. While the situation in Neubrandenburg escalates, the question remains how it will continue and whether the city council will revise its decision, www.kath.net .
