Five years after Lübcke's passing: Brand regrets escalating violence.

Radical ideologies or practices - Five years after Lübcke's passing: Brand regrets escalating violence.

Five years ago, an extremist named Stephan E. killed the former Kassel government president Walter Lübcke. This Sunday, a remembrance ceremony will take place at the Kassel Martin Church for the slain CDU politician. Federal President Frank-Walter Steinmeier will be attending as the guest of honor.

Brand, a representative from Fulda, Hesse, recalled that Lübcke was always approachable and treated everyone equally and justly. "It's devastating that he was singled out for hate and lost his life as a result. This heinous act shows the power words can possess."

In recent weeks, there have been several violence incidents targeting politicians, such as SPD campaigner Matthias Ecke, who sustained serious injuries following a brutal assault in Dresden. A day prior, a CDU member of the German Parliament, Roderich Kiesewetter, was attacked in Aalen, Baden-Württemberg. Kiesewetter was slightly hurt, while the attacker escaped but was known to the police.
