Illegal Habeck Projection on Munich's Siegestor Faces Backlash and Legal Consequences
The unauthorized campaign by the Green Party featuring Robert Habeck's image on a historic monument has drawn criticism from rivals, local officials, and even party members.
- The Green Party projected an image of their Kanzlerkandidat Robert Habeck onto Munich's Siegestor without obtaining city approval, violating local regulations.
- The projection included the slogans 'Bündniskanzler' and 'Ein Mensch. Ein Wort,' and was stopped by police after about an hour.
- The city of Munich confirmed that no permit was issued and stated that such political advertising on monuments is not allowed under municipal law.
- Criticism came from various quarters, including the CSU, which called the act 'arrogant' and 'illegal,' as well as from some Green Party members who disapproved of the tactic.
- The city has initiated a legal process, including potential fines for multiple infractions, and warned against similar actions in the future.
