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)

"If we were to carry on with the existing contractor's contract, we would have effectively bricked up for the Mészáros team, just to ensure the project continued. We would have concealed the serious illegalities, we could have excused the irregularities, and with the Hungarian taxpayers' money, we would have supplemented the 360 billion forints lost due to the failed EU funding." According to Vitézy, the responsible decision towards Hungarian taxpayers now is not to continue the contract made in the controversial public procurement." #DéliKörvasút #Várpalota #Közbeszerzés (translated)

Timo Lehmann wrote that the police in Halle could have cleared the way for the vice president of the state parliament, Tillschneider, that day, but did not do so. Carrying away people wearing a kippah in front of the synagogue for a right-wing extremist is unacceptable, he stated. The police's actions gave him hope. https://t.co/XhyiaqAqfP #Halle #Polizei #Rechtsextremismus (translated)

Igor Levit wrote that Tillschneider described the attack in Halle as a "rampage." The perpetrator had attempted to enter the synagogue on Yom Kippur in order to murder Jews but was unable to get through the door and subsequently shot two people. Seven years later, Jewish students stand before the same door that Tillschneider referred to as "fanaticized." Levit stated that there is no need to know more about Tillschneider and praised JSU Deutschland. #Antisemitismus #Hassverbrechen #Judentum (translated)

Daniel Schatz wrote that a man wearing a kippah interviewed Palestinian demonstrators in Gothenburg, who according to him had praised mass murder, terrorism, and Hamas on October 7.
