Once again a politician is attacked. CDU member of the Bundestag Roderich Kiesewetter is slightly injured. The suspected perpetrator is known to him and the police.
The Bundestag member Roderich Kiesewetter was attacked by a man at a CDU election stand in Aalen, east of Stuttgart, and was slightly injured. The police announced this. The man pushed and hit him. Kiesewetter suffered minor injuries. He was not given medical treatment on site.
The alleged perpetrator fled. The police measures are still ongoing, the spokesman said. However, the man is known to the police. The “Schwäbische Post” was the first to report on this. According to the newspaper, the man is a candidate for the Aalen local council from a party close to the lateral thinkers movement.
Kiesewetter told the “Schwäbische Post” that he had been verbally attacked. Then he had been jostled. “I didn’t know who the person was. When I told him to stop, he tore the roof of the campaign stand with him.” He then wanted to take a picture of the man and went after him. “When he saw that, he hit me and pushed me into a raised bed and also inflicted abrasions on me.” Shortly afterwards, the police came and he offered to drop the complaint if the person in question apologized.” Now, CDU security expert Kiesewetter says he wants to wait and see whether the police can get the man to apologize.
