The recent attack in Berlin’s Tiergarten is a stark reminder of the fragility of our freedoms.

The assault during the Christopher Street Day celebration not only targeted the event but struck at the heart of our society. It was a cowardly act that left victims dead and injured, echoing the tragic attack on the Christmas market nearly a decade ago. This incident is a direct assault on the values of openness and acceptance that define our nation.

Authorities have identified a suspect known for Islamist ties, linking this attack to a troubling trend of terrorism in Germany. With a potential threat of around 9,000 individuals, vigilance and lawful measures are essential. However, simplistic solutions like forced ‘remigration’ will not protect our society; unity in the face of hatred is our strongest defense.
