Moira Lüttich quits Volt Wiesbaden after relentless online hate campaign
Moira Lüttich, the parliamentary group leader and deputy chair of Volt Wiesbaden, has resigned from all her positions with immediate effect, the party announced.
The resignation follows a wave of hate messages targeting Lüttich and her family on social media. According to Volt, the scale and content of the abuse far exceed what can reasonably be expected of volunteer local politicians.
"We are deeply shocked by the hatred that Moira Lüttich and her family have had to endure in recent weeks," said Edwin Meier, co-chair of Volt Wiesbaden. "We deeply regret her resignation, but we fully understand her decision to prioritize her children and family over political office and its demands. We will support her in every way possible during this time."
Volt Wiesbaden expressed gratitude for Lüttich's years of service and her commitment during the local election campaign, which contributed to the party's gains in votes and seats. Lüttich will not be available for interviews in the foreseeable future as she focuses on her family.
