Faeser announces severe consequences if politicians are threatened

Looking at a video that was circulating on the Internet, on which the kidnapping of Federal Minister of Economics Robert Habeck (Greens) is being staged, Faeser said that this was being pursued with all the severity of the rule of law: "Something like that doesn't work at all." There are also limits to what can be said. "You can demonstrate against rising energy prices," said the interior minister. But it is "just not okay to threaten other people".

She warns against joining such protests "or even liking such a post". Faeser emphasized: "We will also hold those who posted this video responsible for it." The video was used to advertise a protest action in Heidenau, Saxony.
