Germany denounces rising political violence after MEP seriously hurt

BERLIN - German Interior Minister Nancy Faeser on Saturday vowed to fight a surge in violence against politicians after a German member of the European Parliament had to be taken to hospital after being attacked while campaigning for re-election.

European Parliament President Roberta Metsola was one of many European politicians to sympathise with Ecke, saying in a post on X that she was"horrified by the vicious attack". The BfV domestic intelligence agency says far-right extremism is the biggest threat to German democracy.
