German politics confronts mental health of officeholders
Original: Harte Drogen im Bundestag, Zusammenbrüche im Kreistag & steigende digitale Gewalt geg. Politiker:innen. 🫣 Wer macht da n
A discussion event hosted by the Friedrich Naumann Foundation is addressing drug use reported in the Bundestag, collapses in a district council, and rising digital violence against politicians in Germany. The debate asks who is still willing to take on political office, including volunteer roles, under such pressures, and calls for the mental health of politicians to be taken far more seriously.
Why now: Reports of substance use, health collapses and online abuse against German politicians have sparked concern about the personal toll of political work.
