Berlin (dpa / bb) - One year after the racially motivated attack in Hanau, Hesse, the Berlin House of Representatives remembered the victims.
"The murders affect us all," said SPD parliamentary group leader Raed Saleh.
Because it is also about what Germany is today.
In Berlin, too, there is a minority who want to deny "some fellow human beings" their membership in society.
"Those who fight against diversity today are fighting Germany," emphasized Saleh.
Therefore, decisive action must be taken against racism.
CDU parliamentary group leader Burkard Dregger warned: "We democrats must take a clear stance against any form of extremism."
In return, it should not make a difference "from which political corner the attack came".
Regardless of whether extremism from the left or the right: “There is no differentiation between good and bad extremism.
There is only bad extremism. "
Dregger criticized the Senate.
"Your judicial and security policy was evidently based on the conviction that the main dangers to the security of our country emanated from our democratic constitutional state itself," he said.

Justice Senator Dirk Behrendt (Greens) and Interior Senator Andreas Geisel (SPD) managed to weaken the ability of the democratic constitutional state to enforce with a perfection that is unprecedented nationwide.
Dregger criticized, among other things, the state anti-discrimination law and the new assembly law that had passed red-red-green.
The police were "put on new shackles" instead of strengthening them.
On the evening of February 19, 2020, the 43-year-old German Tobias R. shot nine people with foreign roots in several places in the city in the Rhine-Main area in Hanau, before allegedly killing his mother and then himself.
He had previously posted pamphlets and videos of conspiracy theories and racist views on the Internet.
