Fury Over Christmas Market Massacre in Germany

Thousands of people have gathered in Germany to voice their fury over the Christmas market massacre in Magdeburg. Members of the far-right Alternative for Germany party (AfD) could be seen holding a rally near the site of the car-ramming attack. A memorial event and funeral march also took place, after it was confirmed that four adults and a nine-year-old child were killed after a car rammed into a crowd of shoppers at around 7pm on December 20.

At least 205 people have also been injured during the massacre, while the suspect, a 50-year-old Saudi doctor, has since been arrested. Speaking at the rally, AfD politician Oliver Kirchner, who was born in Magdeburg, said: 'Diversity has become a synonym for'stay at home if you want to live longer'. 'We protect our Christmas markets as if they were borders during the Cold War, but leave our borders open for everyone. 'Authorities which have ignored every warning from secret services, that don't deport anyone, not even when the killing of Germans is threatened. The BKA and LKA say in 2023 there was no concrete threat posed by the suspect. 'The error is not the missing of bollards, the error is that we need bollards at all. Thousands of people have gathered in Germany to voice their fury over the Christmas market massacre Alice Weidel, co-leader of the far-right Alternative for Germany party (AfD) speaks during a rally. A memorial event and funeral march also took place, after it was confirmed that four adults and a nine-year-old child were killed. 'When is it enough? Are five deaths, more than 40 seriously injured and more than 200 injured not more than enough? Never again is now. 'Here the interior ministry has failed because it didn't take several warnings from a Saudi Arabian secret service seriously. 'Not the afd is at fault - the current government and the interior ministry here in Saxen Anhalt (German state) is at fault
