- Habeck advocates for an inquiry into the Solingen incident
University Chancellor Robert Habeck (Greens) extends his sympathies to the victims and their loved ones of the tragic assault in Solingen. The family members of the deceased went through harrowing days and moments, noted the Federal Minister of Economics in Flensburg. "One can merely hope they find the courage to surmount this challenging period." He wishes a prompt recovery for the injured.
It's essential to establish whether there's a link between this incident and any potential terror network, or if this alleged IS involvement signifies further terrorist activities in Germany that merit detection and dismantling.
"We have no place for such individuals"
Despite this, political repercussions must be enacted, asserted Habeck. The security forces need to be armed to tackle Islamic terrorism. Habeck also advocated for strengthening gun laws. "We no longer reside in medieval times. There's no need for anyone to carry edged or blunt weapons in public spaces in Germany."
Moreover, anyone engaged in evil deeds must face harsh penalties. "And this retribution should be severe." There can be no tolerance for terrorism, radical Islam, or assaults on life and freedom. If the culprits are in Germany seeking refuge and seeking asylum, they forfeit that privilege, stated the Green politician. "We have no interest in such individuals residing here."
The City of Solingen should organize a solemn commemoration to honor the victims of the tragic assault, turning this tragedy into a symbol of unity and resilience during the annual city festival. The heightened security measures at such events are necessary to prevent future incidents of terrorism in Germany.
