Islamist murder in Würzburg – why is the Chancellor still silent today? – Domestic policy

“You are no longer where you were, but you are everywhere we are.”

It tears your heart apart.

Family, friends and colleagues said goodbye to Stefanie W. († 24) at a funeral yesterday afternoon at the cemetery in Partenstein (Main-Spessart).

The young woman died as a result of the knife attack by the Islamist killer (24) who caused a bloodbath in the “Woolworth” department store in downtown Würzburg on June 26th – and thus shocked the whole of Germany.

One seriously injured, three dead, including Stefanie. But to this day not a word from the Chancellor.

For Angela Merkel (66, CDU), day 12 after the shock act in Würzburg also meant business as usual. Federal Cabinet, Cabinet Committee New Länder and tour of the documentation center of the Foundation Flight, Expulsion, Reconciliation.

Angela Merkel did not go to the funeral, she did not express her condolences.

The fact is: Whenever Islamists struck in Germany after the great wave of migration in 2015/2016, the Chancellor was particularly cautious.

She usually let her government spokesman Steffen Seibert (61, CDU) say something on her behalf, and rarely visited the places of horror.

The BILD review:

► February 26, 2016, Hanover: The German ISIS sympathizer Safia S. (15) stabs a federal police officer in the neck, seriously injuring him. Not a word from Angela Merkel.

► April 16, 2016, Essen: Two German ISIS youths throw an explosive device into a Sikh temple, seriously injuring a priest. Not a word from Angela Merkel.

► July 18, 2016, Würzburg: ISIS terrorist Riaz Khan Ahmadzai (17), a refugee from Pakistan, hits a family from Hong Kong with an ax on a train, seriously injuring the four tourists. Government spokesman Seibert conveyed Merkel’s “condolences”.

► July 24, 2016, Ansbach: The Syrian ISIS terrorist Mohammad Daleel (27), also a refugee, blows himself up in front of a music festival, injuring twelve people.

Merkel is now interrupting her summer vacation – she calls the attacks this summer “shocking, depressing and also depressing”. Their conclusion: “Civilizing taboos are being broken.”

After all. But the problem: the terror series continues.

► December 19, 2016, Berlin: The Tunisian ISIS terrorist Anis Amri (23) murdered twelve people at the Berlin Christmas market on Breitscheidplatz.

Merkel goes to the memorial service, but the relatives of the victims later complained in a letter to the Chancellor: “Regarding how we dealt with the bereaved, we have to note, Chancellor, that almost a year after the attack, you didn’t contact us either have personally expressed their condolences in writing. ”

Merkel then meets with the mourners.

► July 28, 2017, Hamburg: The Palestinian Ahmad Alhaw stabbed to death in a supermarket under “Allahu akbar!” – shouting a man. Investigators find a small ISIS flag in Alhaw’s quarters. Merkel declares that her “deep sympathy” goes to the relatives of the murdered man.

► October 4, 2020: The Syrian ISIS sympathizer Abdullah al Haj Hasan (21) stabs a man in Dresden, seriously injuring his partner. The motive: Islamism and gay hatred.

Not a word from Angela Merkel.

The historian Andreas Rödder (53, CDU) sees the reluctance to be a long-term consequence of the migration crisis of 2015. Commenting on BILD: “Angela Merkel was always decided not to change her position from 2015 and to ignore facts such as terrorist attacks as much as possible”.

FDP General Secretary Volker Wissing (51) also attacks the Chancellor. To BILD he says: “As in the Corona crisis, the Chancellor avoids addressing the people directly. It creates space for conspiracy theories and misinterpretations.

Wissing continues: “One of the tasks of a Federal Chancellor is to give the people orientation in difficult situations. Ms. Merkel is usually very reserved. “
