Oldenburg – The local branch of Die Linke (The Left) in Oldenburg-Ammerland, Lower Saxony, has strongly condemned antisemitic slogans sprayed on its party office overnight from Monday to Tuesday, December 2. Unknown individuals defaced the building’s facade with various slogans and a Hamas symbol, calling for violence. Red paint was also smeared across windows and walls. The perpetrators remain unidentified. Police have been notified, and a criminal complaint has been filed.
Thorben Peters, state chairman of Die Linke Niedersachsen, stated:
“We strongly condemn this attack on our party office. Acts of intimidation, threats, and vandalism are attacks on the very foundations of democracy and are completely unacceptable. Political disagreements must be addressed in open, democratic debate – not sprayed on walls. Anyone resorting to such methods crosses a red line. We will not be intimidated.”
At this stage, there is no confirmed information about those responsible. However, the act is clearly directed against the democratic work of a political office and goes beyond legitimate political discourse. The evaluation of potential political motivations lies with the investigating authorities. Die Linke Oldenburg-Ammerland has stated it will await the outcome of the investigation and remains in contact with the relevant agencies.
