Ahead of the EU elections in June, Germany is experiencing a troubling wave of violence targeting politicians across the political spectrum. German Chancellor and Bundesbank President Nagel have publicly condemned these attacks and made an appeal against xenophobia. This includes the physical harassment of Green Party politician Yvonne Mosler in Dresden, where she was spat on and subjected to Nazi slogans. Additionally, two state lawmakers from the far-right AfD party were attacked in Stuttgart. These incidents have prompted German authorities to heighten security measures and have stirred memories of the country's Nazi past.
