Stralsund (dpa / mv) – Because of a smashed window in an office of two political associations in Stralsund, the police are investigating on suspicion of property damage. In addition to a possible political background, it is also checked whether it was an attempted break-in, said a police spokeswoman on Friday. “We’re investigating in all directions.” A local resident drew the police’s attention to the damage on Thursday night.
A statement from the Amadeu Antonio Foundation said the office was home to the Tutmonde development policy association and the Lola for Democracy association, which is supported by the foundation. The associations carried out projects to support refugees on sustainable development, against racism and to protect women’s and children’s rights. According to the announcement, the clubs had been attacked in the past, presumably by right-wing extremists. Police and prosecutors could not provide any information on Friday.
