Overview

• The Treptow-Köpenick district branch of Die Linke is linked to a campaign flyer that says “Rechten Medien auf die Tasten treten” and argues Apollo News has no place in Alt-Treptow, according to materials seen by WELT.
• The leaflet includes the editorial office’s address and references efforts to apply pressure, with activists forming a working group after an event billed as “Apollo News: Die rechte Redaktion in unserem Kiez.”
• Speakers at the meeting included the district chair Moritz Warnke and a participant connected to a media project associated with the Amadeu Antonio Foundation, as reported by the coverage.
• Apollo News editor-in-chief Max Mannhart says he notified Berlin’s Governing Mayor Kai Wegner about perceived threats, is weighing additional protective steps, and reports prior property damage at the newsroom.
• FDP leaders Wolfgang Kubicki and Linda Teuteberg publicly condemned the flyer’s rhetoric as a call to violence, and WELT says a request for official comment to Die Linke remained unanswered.
