After arson attack in Cottbus: Mayor appeals after attacks: Show a clear stance

Cottbus Mayor Tobias Schick (SPD) has appealed to civil society to take a clearer stance against hatred and right-wing extremist violence. Acts of violence against others are red lines that should not be crossed, he told “Brandenburg aktuell” on RBB after the suspected right-wing extremist attacks in Cottbus. “That’s not possible. And we have to say that much more clearly in our civil society.” There must be social pressure again so that acts of violence are not part of everyday life.

On Thursday night, Molotov cocktails were thrown at the alternative housing project “Zelle 79” in Cottbus. State security and the homicide commission are investigating suspected attempted murder. Police are also investigating an arson incident near the house at the alternative club “Chekov”, where a fence was burning. In addition, a window at the Green Party office in Cottbus was destroyed during the night.
