Monday is National Day of Remembrance for Victims of Terrorist Violence. Justice Minister Buschmann calls for the fight against all forms of extremism and violence.
The survivors of victims of terrorist violence do not want to be left alone in their pain. “By facing their questions, their sadness, and even their criticism, we also remember that we must fight together against all forms of extremism and violence.”
Interior Minister Faeser: The rule of law has staying power
Federal Interior Minister Nancy Faeser said the arrest of former RAF terrorist Daniela Klette shows that the constitutional state has staying power. “Here, too, we owe it, above all, to the victims, to leave no stone unturned to fully investigate all crimes. Otherwise, tormenting questions will remain unanswered forever,” said the SPD politician. Not the perpetrators, but the victims should be remembered.
The Federal Government’s Victims’ Representative, Pascal Kober (FDP), explained that the day of remembrance cannot undo what was done to those affected by the perpetrators or what was neglected by the state or authorities. “But we want to send a signal that this also needs to be heard and must not be forgotten.” It’s about giving a face to the people who have been torn from their lives in a terrorist or extremist attack. The national day of remembrance has existed since 2022.
