SPD Politician Helge Lindh Targeted with Threatening Letter Signed 'NSU 3.0'

The Wuppertal lawmaker shared the letter, which included white powder and death threats, while vowing to continue fighting extremism.

  • Helge Lindh, SPD Bundestag member and advocate for migration policy, received a handwritten letter accusing him of 'Deutschenhass' and threatening his safety.
  • The letter, signed 'NSU 3.0,' referenced the National Socialist Underground, a far-right terror group responsible for past attacks in Germany.
  • White powder enclosed in the letter was determined to be harmless by authorities, but Lindh expressed anger over the risk posed to his staff who opened it.
  • Lindh described the threat as a 'new low point' in the ongoing harassment he has faced since entering Parliament in 2017.
  • The politician reaffirmed his commitment to combating hate, extremism, and violence despite the intimidation attempt.
