Unauthorized Campaign Projections for Habeck Stir Controversy Across Germany

Illegal projections of Robert Habeck's image on public landmarks prompt criticism from officials, political opponents, and even within the Green Party.

• The Green Party's campaign projected images of Robert Habeck, its chancellor candidate, onto public landmarks in several cities without proper authorization.
• In Munich, the projection on the historic Siegestor was halted by police, and authorities are pursuing fines for violations of monument protection and advertising laws.
• A similar projection in Düsseldorf on a public building was carried out without permission, though local officials indicated no safety concerns and chose not to pursue legal action.
• Criticism of the campaign has come from political opponents, including the CSU, as well as Green Party members who called the actions inappropriate and poorly conceived.
• The campaign, which used slogans like 'Bündniskanzler' and 'Ein Mensch. Ein Wort.', has sparked broader discussions about the ethics of guerrilla marketing in political advertising.
