Berlin CSD attack

Where things stand

The argument has moved to how Germany handles people it classifies as threats, since authorities knew the attacker who killed a woman and injured 28 at Berlin's CSD parade beforehand. Berlin's judiciary has rebuked media coverage, and Hessen is tightening Pride security.

The topic concerns an incident at an LGBTQIA+ pride parade in Berlin, at which a car drove into people taking part in the march on Saturday. Berlin police, cited by Folha de S.Paulo, reported at least one death and 17 injuries. Authorities have not announced a motive. Further standing context, including any official investigation findings, is not yet available from the reporting at hand.
