Police raid home of Welt columnist over critical post about the 'woke' movement

In Berlin, a search was conducted at the home of journalist, commentator, and media scientist Norbert Bolz due to a post he made on X (formerly Twitter) almost two years ago.

Bolz cited a title from the far-left TAZ magazine that included a phrase associated with alleged Nazi propaganda. Authorities are investigating him for using symbols of unconstitutional organizations, a charge that many see as a threat to free speech.

Bolz expressed his shock, stating, “I usually write and talk about this world. It's scary when this reality suddenly appears on your doorstep.”
