The elections to the parliament of the city of Wiler are also of interest in Lucerne, at least the young senior vice president. The reason for this is a social media post now deleted by newly elected Juso City MP Timo Räbsamen from February 2019. The JSVP speaks of a call for assassination, Räbsamen of a deliberately exaggerated statement.
The post on Instagram is from February 16, 2019. You can see Timo Räbsamen and others burning a Weltwoche number. Including Räbsamen’s comment: “World Week is burning today, tomorrow Roger Köppel.”
The young senior vice president of the canton of Lucerne sent the media a screenshot of the Instagram post. Anjo Simon Stehrenberger of Junge SVP Luzern expressed his bewilderment at Räbsamen’s choice of words in a message. Of course, he understands that Roger Köppel’s polarizing expressions of opinion could meet stiff resistance.
“But my understanding definitely stops where the line to violent calls is crossed.”
Elsewhere, Räbsamen’s publication is even classified as a “call to murder unwanted journalists.”
Räbsamen rejects the accusations
Timo Räbsamen, on the other hand, speaks of a deliberately exaggerated statement. This must be understood symbolically and satirically.
“That was certainly not a call to assassination.”
He also believes it is special that the young senior vice president of the canton of Lucerne is playing moral police on social media. After all, its former president Christian Huber made headlines not long ago by liking posts on a far-right Facebook page. “Perhaps Junge Luzern’s senior vice president should focus better on his own people’s behavior on social media,” says Räbsamen.
