A member of the Aargau Grand Council from the Center Party has received a death threat following a post by SVP National Councillor Andreas Glarner on Platform X. In the Grand Council, the Centre Party, SP, FDP, GLP, Greens and EPP criticized Glarner. They demanded an apology.
What Glarner has deliberately unleashed against the Grand Councillor is "irresponsible and borders on inflammatory", said Alfons Paul Kaufmann, member of the Center Party, in a parliamentary group statement on Tuesday on behalf of the Center Party, SP, FDP, GLP, Greens and EPP.
The Grand Councillor had been threatened with hate mail and letters. This went so far that she had to be placed under police personal protection in the meantime.
This shocked the political groups. They distance themselves from "misleading, disrespectful, unobjective and anti-personal actions", he said.
Glarner had written on Platform X that the centrist councillor had voted in parliament for the naturalization of a foreigner with a criminal record. However, the administrative court ultimately naturalized the young foreigner.
