Exclusively for Malay Mail readers: Use codeMAGDEBURG (Germany), Dec 24 — Germany’s far-right AfD party yesterday held what it called a “memorial” rally for victims of a car-ramming attack on a Christmas market that has newly inflamed debate on migrant and security policy.
Meanwhile, an anti-extremist initiative called “Don’t Give Hate a Chance” was gathering nearby in the eastern city of Magdeburg, which was mourning five dead and more than 200 injured in Friday’s carnage. “Terror has arrived in our city,” said the AfD’s leader in Saxony-Anhalt state, Jan Wenzel Schmidt, condemning what he labelled the “monstrous political failure” that led up to the attack, over which a Saudi man was arrested. “We must close the borders,” he told hundreds of supporters of the anti-immigration party. “We can no longer take in madmen from all over the world.” The party’s co-leader Alice Weidel demanded “change so we can finally live in security again”, as people in the crowd chanted: “Deport, deport, deport!” The anti-AfD initiative said in a message that “we are all shocked and angry to see that people want to exploit this cruel act for their own political ends” and called for “tolerance and humanity”. As Germany has mourned the dead — four women and a nine-year-old boy — Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s government has faced angry questions on possible errors and missed warnings about the Saudi suspect arrested at the scene of Friday’s attack. Those concerns were fuelled by news that Saudi Arabia had warned Germany about its citizen Taleb al-Abdulmohsen, 50, who came to Germany in 2006 and was granted refugee status 10 years late
