Politicians demand tougher measures after attack on CSD in Berlin
Videos
After the attack on the CSD event in Berlin, a debate has begun in Germany about how the judiciary and security agencies should deal with Islamist risk individuals. Representatives of the coalition, security experts, and Union politicians are calling for stricter measures, particularly regarding young people suspected of radicalization. Deutschlandfunk ↗
Junge Union chairman Johannes Winkel spoke out in favor of not automatically applying juvenile law when dealing with risk individuals. The discussion is also focused on a court decision from May, when a suspected juvenile's sentence was suspended on probation. SPD domestic policy politician Sebastian Fiedler described this very decision as the key question for further evaluation of the case. Deutschlandfunk ↗
CDU politician Schulze also joined the debate, saying the attack must have consequences. Political reactions are focusing on the question of whether the judiciary and security services had sufficient options to act more strictly before the act, and whether current rules are adequate for individuals considered a threat. Die Zeit ↗
Further developments will depend on the investigation into the attack and on political agreement over possible changes. The topic is likely to also feed into the discussion on the powers of security services, preventive measures, and the limits of applying juvenile law in cases of Islamist radicalization.
