The political impact of the bloody car attack on his Christmas market Magdeburg on Friday, with five dead and over 200 injured, continued over the weekend, while today, Monday, the largest far-right faction is planning demonstration and her opponents, counter-demonstrations.

The Alternative for Germany (AfD) plans gathering in Doblachin the center of the East German city, followed by a march to honor the victims. The party’s chancellor candidate in February’s election, Alice Weidel, and several far-right state politicians are expected to take part. In his call, the AfD argues that the terrorist act demonstrated me dramatic way the dangers raised by the current policy regarding the migration.

At the same time, another event is planned, entitled “non give hate a chance”which foresees the formation of a human chain around the old market of the city. There, Taleb A., the perpetrator of the attack, drove his car into the crowd, killing five people, including a nine-year-old child, and injuring around 200 others.

At the same time, Interior Minister Nancy Feser, who belongs to Chancellor Olaf Solz’s Social Democrats (SPD), indicated in an interview with Der Spiegel magazine after the attack that bill for her internal security tabled in the Bundestag, the federal lower house, must be approved immediately.

He also recalled that after the Islamist attack in Solingen in August, when three people were killed and eight others were injured, the government made gun laws much stricter and strengthened the powers of law enforcement.

Also, the minister left spikes for the SPD’s former government partners, the Free Democrats (FDP), as well as the Christian Democrats (CDU, official opposition). He pointed out in particular that the CDU prevented the Bundesrat (the federal upper house) from passing a law that would have strengthened the federal police and allowed monitoring by means of biometric identification.
