“In Aschaffenburg, a man kills two people. Politicians react to the act of violence by criticizing Olaf Scholz… Hans -Jakob Schindler, director of the Counter Extremism Project in Germany, told IPPEN.MEDIA about the knife attack in Aschaffenburg: "The case shows once again that the management of deportation procedures simply does not work effectively enough in Germany." The topic is not new, however: "It has been talked about repeatedly since Solingen at the latest, but apparently nothing has really improved." Regarding the possible motive for the knife attack in Aschaffenburg, Schindler said: "Based on the current information, I also believe that there are no elements that would indicate an Islamist act. For example, previous contact with extremist circles or indications and announcements that would indicate such a motive." At the same time, however, he made it clear that the attack played into the hands of populists. "Alice Weidel and Sahra Wagenknecht were among the first to express such a view."”
