Unknown persons have smashed the window of the office of a Green Party member of parliament in Bayreuth.

The constituency office of Tim Pargent, the Bayreuth Green Party member of parliament, is located on the premises. Pargent told the German Press Agency that he was concerned about the attack in the context of society as a whole: "Even during the election campaign, we noticed a brutalization of tone." He assumes a targeted attack on his person or his party.
