Arson Attacks Target AfD Politicians

Published: 2024-08-08

In Bremen, a transport vehicle belonging to a former AfD politician was set ablaze, prompting investigations by the state security service into a possible political motive.

The incident occurred late at night, with the fire completely consuming the vehicle parked under a tree.

Fortunately, no injuries were reported, and firefighters managed to prevent the flames from spreading to a nearby apartment building.

Meanwhile, in Saxony, two cars belonging to AfD member Holger Hentschel were also targeted in a suspected arson attack, with the local police considering political motivations behind the incidents.

The AfD has condemned these acts, linking them to rising tensions surrounding protests against asylum seeker accommodations in the region.
