- SPD party headquarters in Berlin painted
The SPD headquarters in Berlin was splattered with red paint in the early morning hours. The building was reportedly tagged with the inscription "State Reasons = Genocide" and two inverted triangles were painted on two of the pillars. This symbol is used by Hamas sympathizers.
The police suspect a political motive and state protection is investigating. No further information was provided initially.
Initially, the Berlin police suggested that climate activists might be responsible for the vandalism, but later retracted this statement. It is currently unclear who committed the act. The Willy-Brandt House is the headquarters of the federal SPD.
The act of vandalism on the SPD headquarters could be considered a form of political crime. The inverted triangles painted on the pillars are a disturbing reminder of past crimes associated with that symbol.
