Munich (dpa / lby) - Bavaria's Landtag President Ilse Aigner has criticized increasing brutality in society with hatred and agitation against politicians.
«Even before Corona, the brutality was clearly noticeable in our society - in letters to the editor and also during demonstrations.
But the most noticeable are the excesses on the Internet.
During the pandemic, hatred and agitation increased again significantly, ”said the CSU politician on Wednesday in the state parliament in Munich.
Local politicians are particularly affected.
“We have to take it all the more seriously when so-called death lists are circulating on the Internet that MPs“ release for shooting ”. And that's because their voting behavior is not accepted in parliaments, ”said Aigner. It is no longer about individual cases, but about a political and social climate.
Aigner called for consistent action by the constitutional state against hatred and agitation, there should be no “irresponsible silence”.
Crossing the red lines should not remain without consequences, she said.
«Anyone who insults, defames and threatens - crosses a line.
Likewise, when there is gossip about the fall of the system, when conspiracy narratives are used as a justification for acts of violence against journalists, against those who think differently or against state representatives. "
Insults, insults and threats relevant to criminal law must be punished and sanctioned.

Aigner appealed to all democrats to show moral courage and to oppose the agitators on the Internet.
All those involved in the discussion have a duty here.
“But above all the operators or those responsible for the websites and social media accounts.
Criminal offenses or calls for criminal offenses - including murder - must be reported. "
There should be no indifference and no tolerance.
