Attack in Munich: An Afghan races into a demonstration – safety is in danger!
A devastating incident occurred in Munich when a 24-year-old Afghan rejected asylum seeker drove a vehicle into a crowd taking part in a demonstration by the Verdi trade union. According to police, at least 30 people were injured, including children. The driver who allegedly shared Islamist statements on social media was arrested by police after he plowed into a police car and ran down people. Federal Interior Minister Nancy Faeser called for a tough reaction from the rule of law, while Chancellor Olaf Scholz emphasized that the perpetrator must leave the country after the justice system has done its job krone.at reported.
The incident came at a critical time as the Munich Security Conference was underway. Political reactions abounded: Faeser spoke of “maximum severity” against violent criminals, while the Taliban signaled their willingness to cooperate in deporting criminals to Afghanistan. This goes hand in hand with the federal government's aggressive migration policy, which has tightened the laws on the expulsion of violent criminals. Given the uncertain situation in Afghanistan, the resumption of deportations was a sensitive issue, especially since the Taliban opposed detours via neighboring countries such as Pakistan. This development raises questions about the Taliban's security and trustworthiness gmx.net reported.
The reactions in the Afghan community were clear: the Afghan cultural association distanced itself from the perpetrator and expressed horror at the actions. Political leaders are now under pressure to reconsider their positions and develop strategies to ensure both security and human values in the migration debate. The circumstances surrounding the attack and its impact on the upcoming election campaign are crucial, as several political leaders have stressed in recent days. This is not only a security problem, but also a test for the political currents in Germany.
