Yvonne Kussmann wrote that 22-year-old student Marius Dick was stabbed on July 15, 2026, around 10 a.m. in Trier on a pedestrian path by 22-year-old Afghan Sajad M. After the act, Sajad M. was taken to a psychiatric clinic. There is a suspicion that he was incapable of culpability or had diminished culpability due to a mental illness, Kussmann wrote. Sajad M. had already been in a psychiatric clinic before. Despite repeated inquiries, the public prosecutor's office has not yet informed Kussmann whether he was committed at that time due to a danger to others. Marius's parents gave an interview to the Trier Volksfreund. Four weeks after the death of his son, the father suffered a heart attack and had to undergo surgery. He is currently in a rehab clinic and is supposed to come home on the weekend so that his wife and younger son are not alone. Kussmann wrote that Chancellor Merz called the parents shortly after the act because Marius’s mother was politically active in the CDU. The father reportedly urged Merz to immediately deport immigrants who had committed offenses to prevent further acts. This was a promise that Merz had made before the election. The father is now disappointed because, in his view, nothing has happened. He said that such acts could happen to anyone and accused the government of not protecting citizens. He said this would tear the CDU apart and could lead to other parties taking power. Germany is currently at a turning point, he also reportedly said. As of now, Sajad M. has not commented on the act. Kussmann wrote that she is looking forward to the trial with anticipation and fears it could end with an acquittal due to insanity and placement in overcrowded preventive detention. She announced that she would ask the public prosecutor's office again in the following week about the possible conclusion of the investigation and the status of the forensic psychiatric report. The interview can be found in the comments. #Trier #Gewalt #Justiz (translated)

Andreas Rosenfelder wrote that Harald Martenstein reported on parents who did not want to talk about a knife attack for fear of being categorized as being on the right. Some still wanted to talk about the death of their child and the consequences for their own lives, while the media interest, according to Martenstein, had been limited. He mentioned a girl as an example who survived the attack but had not dared to leave her apartment for years. Martenstein called this shocking. Rosenfelder described this as a German reality that, in his opinion, the left does not talk about when it criticizes “hate and incitement.” #Messerangriffe #Eltern #Medien (translated)

The numbers of violations against the headscarf ban show that the vast majority of students and parents are cooperative, and that the education before the law came into force has worked well.

The educational and life paths of children and young people still depend far too much on where a child comes from, which family they belong to, the educational background of the parents, and too little on the talents and abilities of the children themselves. #Kita #Bildung #Chancengleichheit (translated)

The AfD parliamentary group in the German Bundestag wrote that Markus Frohnmaier accused Chancellor Merz of cutting social benefits, healthcare, and pensions at the expense of citizens while large sums were available for Ukraine. Frohnmaier called on Merz to be accountable to the citizens and told the CDU that their responsibility was Germany, not Ukraine. He pointed to cuts in parental benefits, cuts in healthcare, higher pension contributions, accusations of laziness against workers, and long waiting times for doctor's appointments. According to Frohnmaier, the responsibility began in Saxony-Anhalt. #Merz #Deutschland #Politik #Bürgerrechte (translated)
