FDP Leader Christian Lindner Hit With Shaving Foam by Left Party Politician During Campaign Event
Jan 9, 2025, 02:14 PM
Christian Lindner, the leader of Germany's Free Democratic Party (FDP), was attacked with a foam pie during a campaign event in Greifswald. The assailant, identified as a 34-year-old local politician from the Left Party, threw a fake cake made of shaving foam at Lindner, hitting him directly in the face. Lindner responded humorously, tasting the foam and continuing his speech, stating, 'Unfortunately, it was not cream, but just soap.' He added that they could have done it better with cream, so he could have enjoyed it. The incident has been widely condemned by political figures across the spectrum, including Chancellor Olaf Scholz, who described such attacks as 'inappropriate and dangerous.' The police are investigating the 34-year-old woman on suspicion of bodily harm and insult, with the state protection agency also involved due to the political nature of the attack.
