Mandatory vaccination continues to generate great controversy in the countries where it is intended to be established. The last repercussion has been seen in Germany, where a dozen politicians, including four deputies, as well as dozens of high-ranking police officers, various media, received threatening letters announcing a “bloody resistance” against the mandatory vaccine that the Government intends to implement, according to various media reported this Wednesday.
The letters contain pieces of meat that according to the emissary of the letters are contaminated “with virus of COVID-19 and Zyklon B “, in reference to the gas used by the Nazis during the Holocaust, according to the tabloid” Bild “, which cites parliamentary sources. An analysis carried out by police technicians excluded that the letters, which have been received by a dozen of recipients nationwide so far, contain hazardous substances.
“The resistance against vaccination and the measures will be bloody and unappetizing,” warn the letters, one of which was addressed, according to what has transpired, to the acting mayor-governor of the city of Berlin, Michael Müller.
“It is unbearable to what means some people are willing to go to threaten others, to incite hatred and spread their abstruse theories,” Müller declared according to various media and assured that he will not be “intimidated” by a “radicalized minority.”
Concern is growing among German political representatives over the radicalization of groups that deny the pandemic, after unauthorized protests were once again recorded over the weekend, leading in some cases to incidents with the police.
“They are a danger to our democracy,” said the President of the Bundestag, Bärbel Bas, on Sunday, who called for the surveillance of the chat groups of the Telegram application to be strengthened and that concentrations in front of private homes of political representatives be prohibited.
Several death threats against the minister of Saxony
On the other hand, the German police have opened an investigation against several suspects for having made threats against the chief minister of the federal state of Saxony, Michael Kretschmer, through the messaging service Telegram. The agents have carried out several searches in the city of Dresden and its surroundings as part of the investigation, as reported by the spokesman for the federal Criminal Police Office (LKA), Tom Bernhardt.
However, the Police have several suspects and there is already one detainee. The special forces of the LKA have intervened in the operation because the statements of some members of the Telegram group investigated suggest that they could be in possession of knives and crossbows. In total, five properties have been registered in Dresden and one in the nearby small town of Heidenau. “After the first inspection, the initial suspicion is confirmed,” the Police have indicated on their Twitter account.
The Criminal Police announced last week that they were specifically concerned about a Telegram chat group. In it and in conversations held in secret meetings and partly filmed openly in the Dresden area, statements had been made about assassination plans against Kretschmer and other representatives of the regional government.
The threats have provoked the outrage of various politicians. Kretschmer himself stressed after learning that “we must use all legal means to combat this transgression.” “People in public office should not be afraid to speak their minds and do their job,” he said.
On Monday, German Interior Minister Nancy Faeser announced a tightening of measures against incitement to hatred and violence on the messaging service Telegram. “We must take more decisive measures against incitement, violence and hatred on the Internet,” he said then, before recalling that the Prosecutor’s Office has opened disciplinary proceedings against Telegram for violating the country’s legislation.
