Fake election posters: Posters attributed to the CDU and bearing provocative messages have appeared in Leipzig. State security is investigating.
Unknown persons have circulated fake CDU election posters in Leipzig. State security is now investigating the matter, a police spokeswoman told dpa.
The CDU has reported five election posters that are visually based on their own. They read “Leipzig. Unsafe. Make” and the slogan “Dare more caliphate.”
“We are of course outraged that someone is using our perspective, spreading fake news and putting us in a bad light,” said Leipzig’s CDU chairman Andreas Nowak to the internet portal “Tag24”.
He also received reports from Chemnitz and Zwickau about fake posters that had been discovered there. Members and campaign workers were informed to remove such fake posters if they saw any more.
