Vorwurf des Wahlbetrugs in Dessauer Seniorenresidenz „Marthahaus“

wahlbetrugbriefwahlseniorenresidenz

Quick Look

  • Der Neffe einer 95-jährigen dementen Bewohnerin der Seniorenresidenz „Marthahaus“ in Dessau wirft der Einrichtung vor, im Namen seiner Tante ohne dessen Wissen als Bevollmächtigter per Briefwahl abgestimmt zu haben.
  • Er hat Strafanzeige gegen Unbekannt gestellt.
  • Das Heim schweigt zum Sachverhalt, während die AfD den Fall zur Kritik an der Briefwahl nutzt.

AI-generated summary

Why It Matters

In Deutschland dürfen Menschen mit Demenz nicht vom Wahlrecht ausgeschlossen werden, solange sie nicht per Richterspruch entmündigt sind. Wahlhilfe ist erlaubt, muss jedoch auf technische Unterstützung beschränkt sein und die Wahlentscheidung muss vom Wahlberechtigten selbst getroffen werden.

Germany as the main target of Russian hybrid attacks – warnings and protective measures

Federal Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt warned of further hybrid attacks by Russia on Germany and announced sanctions. Expert Jukka Savolainen from the European Center of Excellence for Countering Hybrid Threats describes possible escalation scenarios such as power and internet outages as well as disinformation campaigns and emphasizes Germany's low resilience. He points to the example of the Nordic countries, especially Finland, which is prepared through total defense and citizens, and calls for faster government responses as well as individual preparedness such as supplies for at least a week.
