Emergency services and firefighters respond to an attack at the Christmas market in Magdeburg, Germany, on December 20.
D'rthe Hein/picture-alliance/dpa/APGerman Chancellor Olaf Scholz has said that Germany must remain unified after a fatal car-ramming attack in the city of Magdeburg, and not let hatred divide the country.
“For me it’s important that when such a terrible, awful event happens, a terrible attack in which so many people were injured and killed, almost on the anniversary of the Breitscheidplatz terror attack in Berlin, that we as a country stay together and stick together,” Scholz told reporters in Madgeburg on Saturday, referring to another ramming attack on a Christmas market in 2016 that left 12 dead.
“What is important now is that we investigate what happened and carry out a proper, careful investigation,” he said.
And we will.”
