In the wake of the terrorist attack at a Christmas market in Magdeburg, discussions are heating up in both the Saxony-Anhalt state parliament and the Bundestag about the possibility of prevention and future safety measures. Warnings had been issued about the attacker, Taleb A., but questions remain about the effectiveness of the response from authorities. Demonstrations are planned, including one by the far-right AfD party, while community initiatives are also organizing for solidarity against hate.
