(DPA) German Interior Minister Nancy Faeser has warned the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party not to exploit the attack on the Christmas market in Magdeburg.
“To the AfD, I can only say: Any attempt to exploit such a terrible act and to abuse the suffering of the victims is despicable,” the Social Democrat (SPD) politician told the newspapers of the Funke Media Group in comments published on Wednesday.
She added, “It only shows the character of those who do such things.”
Following the attack on the Magdeburg Christmas market last Friday, the AfD held a rally in the city on Monday, which, according to police reports, was attended by around 3,500 people.
