"We have to close the borders", Schmidt asked the crowd, while the supporters of the anti-immigrant party loudly approved. "We can no longer absorb insane from all over the world!" The mood was tense when Alice Weidel, the co-chair of the AfD, described the attack as "act of an Islamist, full of hatred of what humanity is". The crowd chanted: "Short, deport, deport them!"

The suspect, Taleb al-abdulmohsen, faces numerous charges, including murder and attempted murder. According to reports, he has lived in Germany since 2006 and has published anti-migrant and anti-Islamic statements on social media in the past. Although his motives have not yet been made public, it is known that he is very anti-Islamic views and complained about the immigration policy of the German authorities.

The terrible incident has triggered a wave of political debates about migration policy, especially with regard to the upcoming elections in February, in which the AfD hopes to strengthen its position in parliament. Interior Minister Nancy Faeser said that "no stone will remain on the other" to find out what information about the 50-year-old suspicious templates that has been treated in the past due to mental illnesses.

In the meantime, an anti-extremist initiative called "Hass no chance" also gathered in Magdeburg.

The emotions cook up while the city tries to deal with the aftermates of this tragic event.
