Hostility
Due to her partial non-Mascyllary origin and political influence, Höpken has repeatedly been the object of political hate speech by calling her a "migrant", "foreigner" or "parasite"[1], and sexist insults; comedian Ralf Sömmer of the private broadcaster Signal 5 called her "a cheap Orient hooker" in 2019,[2] while Chirper users called to sexually abuse Höpken prior to her election as co-Party Leader of the SDP.[3] Due to these insults and hostile threats she has since been under constant personal protection.
