He reaffirmed Germany’s image as a free and welcoming nation, adding that these fundamental principles are inviolable and will be resolutely preserved.
The Chancellor expressed his full support for the injured and their families, while assuring that law enforcement agencies will conduct thorough investigations and that the perpetrator will face the severest legal consequences.
