Murdered politician
Witwe from Walter Lübcke criticizes Friedrich Merz for campaigns
With statements about the death of Walter Lübcke, Friedrich Merz caused outrage before the Bundestag election. The widow of the murdered CDU politician takes a clear position.
On the day before the election, Friedrich Merz once again took over to the left political spectrum. In Munich, he announced not to “make politics for any Greens and left -wing spinners in this world” and also referred to the demonstrations against the CDU: “I ask the whole thing that runs around there, Antifa and ‘against right’: Where were they murdered as Walter Lübcke in Kassel?”
The statements had caused outrage, after all, after the murder of the Hessian CDU politician in 2019, there were definitely demonstrations against the right. And Friedrich Merz also criticizes the widow of Walter Lübcke. He and her family “were very strange”, Irmgard Braun-Lübcke explained in a statement for the “Hessian/Lower Saxony Allgemeine”: “I don’t want to leave them.”
Widow of Walter Lübcke contradicts Friedrich Merz
After the murder of her husband, there was “a strong socially broad commitment to our democracy and its values”, contradicts Braun-Lübcke to the CDU leader and probably next Chancellor. “As a family, this gave us a lot of strength and showed that we are not alone, you are not alone, we come together for the existence of our democracy.”
After the Bundestag election, in which the AfD reached more than 20 percent, Irmgard Braun-Lübcke speaks for a strong cohesion of the Democrats: “Today, in this difficult time, in which so much that has been a matter of course, we are not valid, we are all challenged more than ever, especially politics that have to bring people together and to stand up for values as my husband has done.”
Walter Lübcke had committed himself as President of Kassel to accept refugees in Germany. As a result, he was targeted by right -wing extremists. On June 1, 2019, he was shot by the right -wing extremist Stephan E. on the terrace of his house. The perpetrator was sentenced to life in prison.
