Different gatherings - AfD candidate suffers injury, lambastes traffic lights and media.
Many of our members and officials frequently suffer from political violence and damage. The AfD doesn't have the power to stop this from happening.
In Mannheim, a candidate for the municipal election from the AfD was hurt with a knife on Tuesday night while chasing a thief who had taken a poster. The police arrested a 25-year-old man, and the prosecutor revealed that he was sent to a psychiatric institution. It's clear that the man had some sort of mental health problem during his arrest. At this point in the investigation, no solid evidence has surfaced suggesting that the suspect realized the victim was an AfD politician during the assault. Fortunately, the victim sustained merely minor injuries.
