Hamburg's anti-advertising initiative, Hamburg Werbefrei, fell short of the required signatures to launch a referendum on limiting public advertising. With only 50,796 signatures collected, they plan to challenge the Hamburg Senate's handling of the referendum process in court. Meanwhile, Germany is witnessing a disturbing rise in politically motivated attacks on refugee shelters, reaching the highest level since 2017, with 255 reported incidents in 2024 alone. This uptick in violence reflects broader tensions and challenges in public sentiment regarding refugees and asylum seekers.
The local initiative Hamburg Werbefrei failed to secure enough signatures for a referendum aimed at restricting public advertising, highlighting challenges faced by grassroots movements.
Lawyers for Hamburg Werbefrei plan to challenge the government's handling of the referendum, claiming the Hamburg Senate did not provide adequate information to the public.
