Seven years ago, Walter Lübcke, a regional official in Hesse, was shot dead by a right-wing extremist — an act investigators and observers have repeatedly described as an assassination-style killing. His "offence" had been publicly defending basic democratic values, including the right to seek asylum. Commenters are marking the anniversary and warning of lasting damage to political culture in Germany, arguing that hostility toward politicians remains a serious threat.
Why now: The seventh anniversary of the killing has prompted renewed reflection on right-wing violence and threats against politicians in Germany.
