Magdeburg's amoking: official failure or unpredictable crimes?

In Magdeburg, a tragic incident shaked the city: in a Christmas market attack, initiated by a 50-year-old doctor from Saudi Arabia, five people were killed and more than 200 others were injured. The alleged perpetrator, who is in custody, was considered dangerous and there are indications that authorities may have been warned beforehand. The discussion about the failure of the authorities and the possibility of preventing this terrible incident is in the room, as [Exxpress.at] reported.

political entanglements and important resignation

In another dimension of the political landscape of Austria, the country experienced a huge scandal known as the Ibiza affair. This scandal broke out in May 2019 when a secret video was released, in which Vice Chancellor Heinz-Christian Strache and his party colleague Johann Gudenus talked about possible corruption. The scandal led to the dissolution of the coalition government, the resignation of Strache and Gudenus as well as new elections. Strache, who indicates corrupt behavior in the video, said in a press conference that he wanted to resign and take legal action against the organizers of the video, as [wikipedia.org] summarized.

The publication of this video not only led to a political earthquake in Austria, but also caused questions about the methods that led to the creation and publication of the video. Some suspect that secret services could be involved, which has further complicated the already tense political situation. The incident remains an example of the explosiveness of power and manipulation in state politics.
