Angela Merkel castigated Thursday the "poison" of racism in Germany after the double shooting that killed nine people in Hanau, near Frankfurt, linking this act to other far-right attacks committed in the country.
“Racism is a poison, hatred is a poison. And this poison exists in our society, from the acts of the NSU to the murder of Walter Lübcke and the assassinations of Halle, "said the Chancellor, referring respectively to the series of murders and attacks by a neo-Nazi trio in the 2000s, the murder last June of an elected pro-migrant, then the attack on a synagogue which left two dead in October.
