The German authorities are considering tightening legislation on combating extremism and amending regulations applicable to juvenile offenders, following the attack at the Pride parade in Berlin, which resulted in one person dead and 29 others injured.
Chancellor Friedrich Merz has promised decisive actions to strengthen security, in the context where the Alternative for Germany (AfD) has accused the government of inefficiency in combating Islamist extremism. The Senator for Justice in Berlin has called for a review of the legislation regarding the criminal liability of young people, and the LGBTQ+ community has requested increased protective measures, highlighting the rise in hate-motivated assaults.
Commemoration ceremonies have taken place, and the authorities are analyzing additional security measures for future parades.
