NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS. Ambulances and rescuers are seen after a car crashed into a crowd at a Christmas market injuring more than 60 people on December 20, 2024, in Magdeburg, eastern Germany. The death toll of the Magdeburg market attack rose to two, according to the State Premier. AFP
As well as killing five people, the vehicle wounded 205 others. A nine-year-old child was among the dead and casualties were being treated in 15 regional hospitals. He has helped Saudi women flee their country — but also railed against what he saw as Germany’s permissive attitude towards refugees from other mainly Muslim countries.
Die Welt daily reported, citing security sources, that German state and federal police had carried out a “risk assessment” on him last year but concluded that he posed “no specific danger”. Scholz pledged the state would respond “with the full force of the law” to the attack. But he also called for unity as Germany has been rocked by a heated debate on immigration and security ahead of elections in February.
“No community — and no family — should have to endure such a despicable and dark event, especially just days before a holiday of joy and peace.”Scholz said he was grateful for the expressions of solidarity from around the world. “It is good to hear that we as Germans are not alone in the face of this terrible catastrophe.”
