After threats: Lauterbach: “I’m very worried about my children”

Only recently it became known that members of a Telegram chat group had planned bomb attacks and the kidnapping of Lauterbach. The SPD politician is particularly concerned about his children.

Federal Health Minister Karl Lauterbach (SPD) is primarily concerned about his children in view of the threat to him.

“I’m not an anxious person myself. But I am very worried about my children. And of course it hurts me that my children are afraid for me. It’s not right when children have to read that radicals wanted to kidnap their father,” Lauterbach told the “Bild am Sonntag”.

He reports every threat of violence and murder, Lauterbach told the newspaper. “In Cologne alone there are currently 98 initiated and ongoing investigations, in 65 cases the identity of the perpetrators was determined,” said the minister. “I do it so consistently because an opponent of vaccination who threatens me with violence will probably also threaten his mayor or city council.”

Interior Minister Nancy Faeser told the “Bild am Sonntag” that the kidnapping plans against Lauterbach, the preparation of attacks and the violent fantasies of a coup showed a new quality of the threat. The increase in crimes against officials and elected officials shows a brutalization and contempt for the state and democracy, which requires consistent action. “We are extremely vigilant. And we won’t be intimidated.”
