- Request for an extraordinary legislative assembly in Düsseldorf's regional legislature
After the gruesome stabbing incident in Solingen, there's speculation of a special meeting scheduled for the North Rhine-Westphalia state parliament within this week. Both the SPD and FDP opposition groups have put forward requests for this special gathering. The SPD is pushing for a joint meeting of the Interior and Integration committees, while the FDP is demanding a special meeting of the Interior Committee itself.
The heads of these committees are currently working on setting a date, with insiders hinting at a mid-week assembly. In their plea, the SPD highlights the attack itself and the suspect's background, who was a resident in a refugee shelter and was supposed to be deported. The FDP, in their application, requests that Interior Minister Herbert Reul (CDU) presents the recent developments on the incident and the state government's response.
The special meeting scheduled for the North Rhine-Westphalia state parliament is expected to be held in the middle of the week. The SPD, in their proposal for the meeting, emphasizes the significance of the stabbing incident and the suspect's background as a resident in a refugee shelter.
