In the wake of a deadly attack on the Christmas market in Magdeburg, political leaders are calling for a reassessment of Germany’s internal security. Bavaria’s Minister-President Markus Söder advocates for a ‘Zeitenwende’ or turning point, while SPD leader Lars Klingbeil emphasizes the need to expel asylum seekers threatening terrorism. The Bundestag prepares for inquiries into how the assailant, Taleb A., evaded dangers despite prior warnings. Both leaders seek to ensure better safety resources and clarify responsibility for the tragedy, amid concerns of politicization of the incident.
