Earlier, Cursor reported on the massacre at a festival in Germany.
A tragedy occurred at a music festival in the German city of Solingen: a man armed with a knife attacked the participants of the event. As a result of the attack, three people died and nine were injured. According to preliminary information, the perpetrator was an Arab man and committed the attack right in front of the stage. After the attack, he fled, and the police began an active search for him.
The festival was meant to celebrate Solingen’s 650th anniversary and was meant to be a celebration of the region’s achievements in terms of multicultural diversity. However, due to a tragic incident, the event was suspended and authorities asked all visitors to leave the city centre.
At this point, German authorities have not provided detailed information about the identity of the attacker or his motives. However, it is known that the incident has sparked a new wave of discussions about the need to tighten the rules regarding carrying knives.
German Interior Minister Nancy Feser has already announced her intention to push for a ban on carrying knives with blades longer than six centimeters. This initiative has become especially urgent after the recent attack in Mannheim, where a 25-year-old Afghan attacked participants in an anti-Islam event.
