Unnoticed Brussels Attack by FPÖ Candidate

Brutal Assault on FPÖ Candidate in Brussels Unnoticed

In an unexpected turn of events, Burgenland FPÖ representative Thomas Grandits was assaulted in Brussels, Belgium. The FPÖ confirmed the assault on Thursday, but further details about the incident are still emerging.

While returning to his hotel with a colleague, Grandits was attacked by three unknown assailants. The assailants struck him on the head and face, resulting in a bump on the head and a black eye for Grandits. Despite the physical assault, Grandits continued his journey home after the incident.

The motives behind the attack, apart from a demand for money, remain unclear. Grandits has not yet filed a report, apparently due to a lack of confidence in a successful investigation. The location of the assault is not specified in the available information.

The incident occurred during a delegation trip of the Burgenland state parliament, but the context of the trip is not further discussed. Grandits has confirmed that the assailants demanded money during the attack, but no further details about the assailants have been disclosed.

Grandits is currently considering filing a report, but no official report has been made as of yet. The condition of Grandits' injuries beyond the bump on the head and black eye is not mentioned.

The police in Brussels are investigating the incident, but no further updates have been provided. The public is urged to await official statements from the authorities regarding the case.
