Overview

• Unidentified perpetrators sprayed red paint and the slogan “Free Maja” on the Ludwig-Erhard-Haus façade early Thursday morning.
• The Landeskriminalamt für Staatsschutzdelikte has assumed the investigation and reports no suspects or claim of responsibility.
• The slogan ties into a nationwide campaign calling for the release of non-binary activist Maja T., who was extradited to Hungary in June 2024 on extremist violence charges.
• Maja T. remains in a Hungarian prison hospital where her hunger strike has left her severely weakened after losing about 12 kilograms.
• CDU Hamburg chairman Dennis Thering condemned the vandalism as a threat to democratic discourse and warned that property damage cannot replace political debate.
