German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier, in his Christmas speech, emphasized that "a dark shadow hangs over this Christmas" due to the recent attack. He extended solidarity to the victims' families and highlighted the nation’s need for unity in the face of growing hostility in society. He stated, "Hatred and violence must not have the final word. Let's not allow ourselves to be driven apart. Let's stand together!" His call for collective strength is a pivotal message during these turbulent times.
Steinmeier reflected on the broader context affecting Germany, acknowledging dissatisfaction with politics and social conditions. He said, "There's a great deal of dissatisfaction about politics, business, red tape, about injustice," pointing out that the tone in Germany has become rougher and sometimes hostile. Despite these challenges, he reaffirmed his faith in democracy and the Basic Law, emphasizing that the nation can overcome obstacles through dialogue and collaboration.
