Saxony-Anhalt's Prime Minister Reiner Haseloff (CDU) has expressed concern about anti-Semitism on the Internet.
“The hatred of Jews on the Internet has increased significantly in recent years.

We have to resist these beginnings even more resolutely, ”said Haseloff on Tuesday, according to a press release that was distributed in advance, at an evening reception on the subject of“ Words matter - countering anti-Semitism on the Internet ”in Halle.
