Video on the Berlin conference ‘Resilient Democracy’: Hate speech and violence against public-sector employees

It is not just since the murder of Walter Lüpke in the summer of 2019 that many elected representatives have felt unsafe. More and more cases of death threats and violence against mayors and members of parliament are coming to light. However, the phenomenon extends much further.

Karl Mahrer, Member of the Austrian National Council and Chair of the Committee on Internal Affairs, sent his speech for the 3rd Berlin Congress for a Resilient Democracy via video.
