Police raid home of 64-year-old accused of insulting Robert Habeck and uploading an image to X that referenced the Nazi era
Police searched the home of a 64-year-old man after he was accused of insulting German vice-chancellor Robert Habeck. In an awkward revelation that comes as Habeck seeks the nomination of his Green party as candidate for chancellor, prosecutors on Friday said the economy minister had filed a criminal complaint after the man called him an “idiot” on social media in June.
In a video pitch for the Green party nomination as candidate for chancellor last week, filmed from his kitchen table, Habeck warned that the “fungus of populism” was spreading and was being fed by authoritarian regimes with troll armies and bots — as well as populists at home in Germany. Still, the latest complaint drew comparisons with Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, who has launched criminal investigations into tens of thousands of citizens for insulting him.
