After the party chairman Annalena Baerbock became candidate for chancellor, the Greens complain of increasing attacks on the internet.
"Both Annalena Baerbock and Robert Habeck have been attacked online for a long time," said party spokeswoman Nicola Kabel to the editorial network in Germany (Friday editions).
However, since Baerbock's election as candidate for chancellor, fake quotes and fake pictures have increased.
"It started in the first few days," she added.
In the last two weeks alone, the party headquarters made 15 reports under the Network Enforcement Act, the spokeswoman told the newspapers.
"If things appear criminally relevant, we bring them to the attention," explained Kabel.
"Not everything automatically has a misogynistic component, but it comes in some cases," said the spokeswoman.
Most recently, among other things, alleged nude pictures of Baerbock appeared, but in truth they do not show them, but a Russian model.
The Greens chairman recently got personal protection.

The women's political spokeswoman for the Greens parliamentary group, Ulle Schauws, told the editorial network: "The fact that a woman is a candidate for Chancellor in the Greens and is therefore being attacked shows a certain helplessness of those who attack her." That is a "very cheap and chauvinistic means" . It speaks against the polluters rather than harming Baerbock.
If the Germans could elect their head of government directly, Baerbock would get the most votes, according to a recent poll for the German trend on behalf of ARD and WELT. With 28 percent of the vote, the Greens federal chairman is ahead of the Union candidate, Armin Laschet and SPD Chancellor candidate Olaf Scholz. According to the information, 21 percent of those questioned were in favor of both. Almost a third of the participants (30 percent) were unsure or did not provide any information.
