German Chancellor Friedrich Merz also reacted to the event, calling it a repugnant act. Berlin's Senator for the Interior, Iris Spranger, emphasized that safety is of high priority. The political reactions thus highlight both the gravity of the incident and its symbolic dimension for the city, where CSD is associated every year with public support for the rights and visibility of the LGBT+ community.

Further developments will depend on the investigation into the circumstances under which the vehicle drove into the crowd. Authorities and political representatives are for now emphasizing above all solidarity with the victims, support for the injured, and the need to ensure the safety of public gatherings in Berlin.
