Protests escalate in Germany’s Munich after car-ramming attack

February 16, 2025   

(DPA) Opposing protests took place in the southern German city of Munich on Sunday following a deadly car-ramming attack that killed two people and rekindled a debate on deportations just days before a nationwide election.

On Thursday, a 24-year-old Afghan national drove a car into a trade union demonstration in Munich, injuring at least 39 people, some seriously. A 37-year-old woman and her 2-year-old daughter died on Saturday as a result of their injuries.

Investigators in the state of Bavaria currently assume that the crime had an Islamist motive, based on statements made by the driver after his arrest.

The far-right anti-migrant Alternative for Germany (AfD) staged a vigil on Munich’s central square Königsplatz on Sunday, a few hundred metres from the scene of the attack.
