Germany’s fractious coalition government has announced a hard-fought compromise on changes to weapons laws and asylum rules designed to prevent Islamist attacks such as last Friday’s mass stabbing that left three people dead.
Three days before key state elections in which each of the ruling parties risk heavy losses to the far right, government ministers said the knife rampage allegedly by a Syrian asylum seeker at a street festival in the western city of Solingen had exposed critical weaknesses in the country’s immigration and security policy.
“The Solingen attack shook us to our core and we said that we as a government would react to it with tough measures,” said the interior minister, Nancy Faeser, a Social Democrat.
Solingen stabbing comes amid steep rise in knife crime in Germany Read more She said the government would ban the carrying of knives at public events including street festivals like the scene of the Solingen attack, and on long-distance public transportation such as trains and buses.
Federal police will be given the power to impose spot checks for weapons including long knives in “heavy crime” areas such as railway stations. Police officers will be able to use stun guns to stop violent suspects.
The measures also call for the swifter deportation of refused asylum seekers and the removal of financial benefits for those who have already been registered in another EU member country, in a policy the mass-market tabloid Bild called “bed, bread, soap”, referring to the bare-minimum provisions that will be accorded.
Rights groups including Pro Asyl criticised the proposal as “unconstitutional” and said “social welfare payments must not be cut as a purported deterrent”.
Faeser said: “No one will go hungry or sleep on the street in Germany.”

The Founding Fathers had it right. You can’t clamp down on evil hard enough to stop it. you can only free the good to be able to act.
Language is important here… the distinction that she and the rats, and their complicit media are saying is that eradicating Hamas after Oct 7 isnt considered Israel defending itself.
Just what the Swiss have been waiting for. How long before they come stampeding across the border with their Army knives?
after
lol
you knew i was a snake
Band aid solution. Their moslem problem is only going to get worse and demographics do not favor the krauts.
It's not going to work any better than gun laws because those committing those kinds of crime don't care about the laws.
All it will do is further disarm the general public, leaving them even m ore vulnerable than ever to the attackers.
Enforce the laws you have already.
Bring back the death penalty for murder. There's far less room for doubt when there are surveillance devices everywhere and people have cell phones.
No.
Making a knife is so easy a caveman could and did do it.
Like taking a cold pill when you have Pneumonia.
From an American living in Wiesbaden, Germany....this was the first city to force a weapons-zone (probably 5 years now). The key here....for evening hours in the zones...the cops have total freedom to stop you on the street, demand an ID and frisk you. Got a knife? Your fine within the zone could go up to 5,000 Euro after meeting the judge. Odds of finding drugs? That adds to your woes.
Whole strategy revolves around the cops doing these frisk operations on seriously high level, and judges handing you a significant fine.
And it is kind of ironic, since Solingen has been the ‘cutlery and edged weapon production center’ for Germany. for a thousand years, and one of the most famous in the world.
No death penalty in mainland Europe since WW2.
For over a decade, German girls have been coerced into converting to Islam to escape an epidemic of rape warfare perpetrated against them by muslim migrants. But it wasn't until “The Solingen attack shook us to our core" that government ministers finally became afraid of losing their grip on their political power. They should all resign.
That is a wonderful truth. Nicely done. The founders knew the evil of central power and evil individuals. Now we are here- exactly where they told us centralized power would take place. Ensuring we have peaceable and quiet lives are the only Biblical authorities given to government by God.
I almost said taxes- then I remember the Boston Tea Party.
The videos Okeefe Media Group put out about the sex trafficking of Children in San Diego is horrendous. There is a significant population of military retirees in San Diego- yet everyone there is turning a blind eye.
Just like the death camp trains and the abusive slavery of our past.
Its hard for me to understand why no one cares. Military retires people around 40- so they can’t say they are unable. They are just unwilling.
This country is the number one reason kidnapping and sex trafficking occurs around the world.
ban butter knives! who would have thought butter knives would act this way and turn to a life of crime
I guess, banning knives is in the working.
But, apparently, people are getting killed by kicks and slams.
Maybe, they should start preventively amputate legs and arms.
The way to take care of these immigrant crimes is eliminate the immigrants. It’s amazing how stupid governments are in solving problems. If the sun’s in their eyes theyd spend trillions figuring out a plan to move the sun vice turning around or pulling the shades down.
Just another reason the judgment of God is going to fall on this country.
