    The damaged vehicles often had stickers with the image of the Greens’ candidate for chancellor, as well as the slogan “Be greener!”. That’s why investigators initially assumed that climate activists or Greens supporters were behind the foam attacks.

    I don’t get why they would assume the attackers were Greens supporters when it was cars with stickers supporting the Greens that were being damaged?

    edit: Yes, the phrasing of the quote I included in this post did give me the idea that they were targeting cars that already had bumper stickers supporting the Green candidate.

      The saboteurs also put those stickers there.

      It’s translated as be greener which can be seen as an endorsement but the way it’s written in the original german is rather accusatory. The stickers are also ugly and have a smug image of the green candidate.

      You are assuming that Fascists are thinking. Their Alternative Media will do anything to frame the greens as bad.

      As I said once already: You dont save a rotten plant by watering it. The same way you don’t save a fascist with facts and Logic. They only listen to guillotines, fire throwers and a machine gun beside a wall.

      Is this a genuine question?

      I assume the people who damaged the vehicles were also the ones who put the stickers on the car, or atleast that’s what the investigators assumed.
