Attack on Cottbus residential project: Greens demand determined action!

Andrea Lübcke, the state chair of the Greens, condemned the attack and emphasized that such acts endanger the basic values of democratic society. It is essential to vehemently position yourself against such attacks. The new Interior Minister René Wilke (independent) has also signaled that the fight against right -wing extremism is one of his most urgent goals. In the past there have been similar incidents in the region, including attacks on youth clubs and an attempted arson attack on asylum accommodation in Senftenberg.
Investigations and reactions
State protection, responsible for politically motivated crimes, has started the investigation into the attack on the “House Project Zell 79”. After the incident, Wilke made contact with the mayor of Cottbus, Tobias Schick (SPD), to gain further knowledge of the attack. This shows the interest of the state government to actively combat right violence.

Right -wing extremists are also widespread in the general public, which makes it difficult to identify the actors.
