Hatred of politicians: "You communist bitch will soon be just as dead as Walter Lübcke"

Insults, death threats, arson attacks - many women politicians are massively attacked. In the podcast, two of them report on the hatred that hits them.


According to SPIEGEL research, a large number of female members of the Bundestag have already experienced "misogynist hatred".

Often it is sexual degradation and racist threats on social networks.

There are seldom legal consequences for the perpetrators, and there is no data on misogynist crimes either.

When dealing with digital hatred, the police and the judiciary often seem overwhelmed.

In this podcast episode, two politicians talk about their experiences and their demands on politics and society.

Vote-catching host Melina Hemmer explores the question of how quickly digital hatred becomes a real danger in everyday life and why such attacks against women politicians threaten our democracy.
