The leader of the Free Democratic Party (FDP) was attacked with shaving foam during his campaign speech in Greifswald, Mecklenburg-Pomerania. “Unfortunately it wasn’t whipped cream, just soap“, he declared and continued his speech.
While the leader of the FDP was speaking at a pre-election event of his party, a young woman, stian-lintner member of the “Left” party Christiane K., as it later became known in a BILD article, approached Christian Lindner. She then threw what looked like a cake at his face. He remained cool and moreover retaliated in kind. Immediately afterwards he commented that “they just did one thing differently than I would have hoped. Unfortunately it wasn’t whipped cream, just soap».
He went on to say that, “the message of freedom, economic change and organized immigration is not something people left of center want to hear. But I will not allow myself to be intimidated».

The woman was arrested and released a short time later. “There was no reason to continue the detention of the accused, after her details were verified“, pointed out a police representative. In fact, distances from Christiane K. received her party.
Condemning the incident, Health Minister Karl Lauterbach warned that “we start with cakes and end with rocks or explosives». He also emphasized that violence must be rejected. “We cannot accept it. . This should therefore be punished, it is not a trivial offence“, underlined Karl Lauterbach.
