Government intent on expediting expulsions following celebration of terror activities
Government's actions are apparently in response to internet hate posts, either triggered by Hamas' attack on Israel or the deadly knife attack on a cop in Mannheim. Chancellor Olaf Scholz (SPD) announced the proposed legislative revision in response to the Mannheim attack, as stated in a government communique. Other matters on the Federal Cabinet's agenda include a bill from the Justice Ministry for updating procedural law and a realization proposal from the Culture State Minister for a German-Polish Cultural Center.
