Relocation or Movement of People - Stabbing incident: Weidel accuses government of political connivance

The head of the Alternative for Germany (AfD) parliamentary group, Alice Weidel, has blamed the current traffic light coalition and its previous governments for the deadly stabbing of a police officer in Mannheim. Weidel spoke in the Bundestag on Thursday after Federal Chancellor Olaf Scholz (SPD) made a statement about the current security situation.

She claimed it was a result of the shoddy migration policies of the current government and its predecessors led by the CDU. "The ideology of freely flowing borders and unregulated, uncontrolled immigration is built on illusions and lies that have cost human lives," said Weidel.

The Mannheim killer is not an exception, but rather part of a long list of attackers and violent criminals that came into Germany supposedly as refugees. "The only sensible outcome of the deteriorating security situation is a profound shift in migration policy. It is essential that this happens immediately," she urged. Weidel called for the border to be closed and deportations even to Afghanistan.
