Leipzig: - CDU Election Posters Use "Dare More Caliphate!" Slogan, Inciting State Security Response
Mysterious individuals have been distributing forged CDU campaign posters throughout Leipzig. The authorities have launched an inquiry, according to a police spokesperson who spoke to dpa upon request. The local CDU leader, Andreas Nowak, revealed that there are at least ten of these deceptive promotional materials circulating around the city. "However, there might be more out there," he admitted. These fakes bear a striking resemblance to genuine CDU posters from the current election campaign, with the phrase "Leipzig. Unsafe. Make." along with the slogan "Dare more caliphate!" printed on them.

Nowak spoke with disgust about the situation. "It's infuriating," he conveyed to dpa. "This places our party in the vicinity of Islamic extremism." He pointed out that the counterfeiters had gone to extraordinary lengths to replicate the authentic CDU posters, mirroring their appearance meticulously. He identified this as a copyright violation. If detected, a legal case will be filed against the culprits. Nowak also shared that these bogus posters were first uncovered on Saturday.
Based on his information, similar incidents have taken place in other regions of Saxony - specifically in Chemnitz and Zwickau. Nowak urged people to report any deceptive posters they spot in their vicinity. The Tag24 news outlet had previously reported on this issue.
