- Red Flora poster is once more displayed and undergoes a fresh coat of paint.
Tempest over a flyer at the Red Blooms: A day after law enforcement had covered up an anti-AfD flyer at the left-wing self-governing center in Hamburg's Schanzenviertel with paint, left-wing protesters had re-pasted the flyer during the night on Tuesday. However, this flyer, titled "13 methods to combat the AfD," was also painted over again promptly by the authorities.
"We are still investigating on allegations of inciting public disorder," a spokesperson stated. This flyer, among other things, suggested rendering AfD campaign materials unusable. It also advised disrupting campaign rallies, attacking event venues, and disabling vehicles.
On Monday, the authorities had obscured the initial flyer with black paint, making it unreadable. According to the authorities, the flyer was a call to commit criminal acts, leading to an investigation being initiated. "The investigation is being overseen by the security department," a spokesperson added.
The left-wing protesters appear undeterred: On Tuesday, another flyer with the "13 methods to combat the AfD" was placed at the Red Blooms, accompanied by the message: "Cops, once more, you're losing this battle."
The left-wing protesters decided to host a rally in support of their cause, turning the Red Blooms into a lively Party atmosphere. Despite repeated efforts to remove the controversial flyer, it had become a symbol of their resistance, sparking more conversations about freedom of speech.
