Hamburg (dpa / lno) - With the exception of the AfD, the Hamburg citizenship across all parties remembered the victims of the racist attack in Hanau a year ago and warned against hatred and agitation.
AfD parliamentary group leader Alexander Wolf caused outrage on Wednesday in the current hour when he presented the murder of nine people with immigrant roots as an act of a mentally ill individual perpetrator who should now be politically instrumentalized.
In doing so, he was explaining to the families of the victims that their relatives "died almost by accident," said Interior Senator Andy Grote (SPD).
"That is infamous, that is unbelievable."
Representatives of the SPD, Greens, CDU, Left and FDP called on all democratic forces to stand together against racism and right-wing extremism in society.
On the evening of February 19, 2020, the 43-year-old German Tobias R. shot nine people in several locations in the Hessian city of Hanau before allegedly killing his mother and then himself. Before that, he had pamphlets and videos with conspiracy theories and racist views published on the Internet.
