In the idyllic town of Frauenau in the Bavarian Forest, a strange incident occurred that briefly shook up the region's political landscape. An election poster wall for the Green Party was put up on a fenced-in property - but without the permission of the property owner.

The farmer Klaus Berndl, who evidently had little joy in this unauthorized advertising, reacted in a humorous way: he simply covered the election poster with advertising for his own farm. But that was not all - a cow ended up in the image of the poster , which further loosened up the creative protest.

Many observers could not help but smile when they saw the "altered" election poster. Evil tongues claim that it is not uncommon for cattle to appear on election posters - especially when it is about the Greens and their minister Robert Habeck. The action was not only a humorous criticism of political advertising, but also the way in which "megalomaniac" actions by the Greens have been reported from Munich in the past.

But the incident in Frauenau is only a small part of another major scandal. A few days later, an unauthorized projection of Habeck's portrait onto Munich's Siegestor caused a stir. The oversized image of Habeck shone on the historic building for an hour, accompanied by the election advertisement "Alliance Chancellor. One person. One word." But here too, the necessary authorization was missing, which ultimately forced the police to stop the projection. Fine proceedings were initiated against those responsible.

Whether it's the poster in Frauenau or the projection in Munich - the Greens and their candidate for chancellor, Robert Habeck, have recently become the focus of public discussion several times. While the Greens in Berlin initially remained reserved and said little about the incidents, critics such as CSU General Secretary Martin Huber did not mince their words. He described the action as "megalomaniacal" and accused the Greens of reaching "new dimensions of green arrogance".

At a time when political campaigns are becoming more and more creative and often somewhat chaotic, it remains to be seen how such actions will continue to influence political communication - and whether we will find more "animal" surprises in election posters in the future. In any case, the incident in Frauenau remains a curious example of a farmer's creative resistance to unauthorized election advertising.
