PRESS STATEMENT IG Metall is deeply shocked by the racially motivated murders in Hanau

Jörg Hofmann: “We are deeply shocked by the racially motivated murders in Hanau. Our thoughts are with the victims and their families. Hate, verbal abuse, and the exclusion of fellow citizens are spreading—not only on social media, but also in our parliaments. Our alternative to hate and incitement is respect and solidarity. Those who experience how acting together makes us strong, those who realize that they have more in common with so-called strangers than divides them—they will not let themselves be so easily dragged into the abyss by the preachers of hate and the divisive forces. One thing is clear: No tolerance for the intolerant, not an inch to the fascists.”
