The email warned Arndt to 'think of Walter Lübcke,' recalling the 2019 assassination of Lübcke by a far-right extremist, highlighting the dangers faced by politicians advocating for immigration policies.

In her Instagram post, Arndt expressed feeling threatened by the email, yet affirmed her commitment to not be intimidated, emphasizing the importance of open dialogue.

Lübcke was targeted for his support of migrant accommodation, illustrating the risks associated with advocating for immigration policies in today's political climate.

Saxony's Interior Minister, Armin Schuster, condemned the threat, labeling it part of a concerning trend of far-right incidents that law enforcement will not tolerate.

Constance Arndt, the mayor of Zwickau, Germany, has publicly shared a threatening email she received from an individual using the name 'Adolf Hitler,' which references the murder of CDU politician Walter Lübcke.

The email's sender address, '[email protected],' references the National Socialist Underground (NSU), a far-right terrorist group responsible for racially motivated murders in Germany from 2000 to 2007.

Beate Zschäpe, the main perpetrator of the NSU, had previously lived underground in Zwickau before her arrest and was sentenced to life imprisonment in 2018.

Arndt's post has garnered significant attention, receiving over 1700 likes, which reflects the growing concern over the threats faced by local politicians in Germany.

She has filed a criminal complaint against the unknown sender and shared the email image on social media to raise awareness about the threats faced by local politicians.

Alexander Dierks, president of the Saxon Parliament, criticized such threats as morally reprehensible and toxic to political discourse, underscoring the need to support engaged public servants.

Arndt highlighted the significance of public discourse in her interview with 'Bild,' advocating for transparency and respectful political dialogue as protective measures.

Recent analyses indicate that German local politicians are increasingly facing verbal and physical threats, often linked to organized campaigns by right-wing extremist groups.
