(de-news.net) – Federal Interior Minister Nancy Faeser has announced significant measures in response to the Magdeburg attack, pledging full transparency and comprehensive investigations to ascertain the perpetrator’s motives. Faeser underscored the necessity for a new Federal Police Act and the implementation of biometric recognition for faces and voices. She also advocated for a legally secure mandate to store IP addresses, which she deemed crucial for combating crime and terrorism. SPD deputy chairman Wiese expressed willingness to expand IP address storage, despite previous challenges at the Federal Constitutional Court.

Union deputy chair Lindholz proposed convening the mediation committee of the Bundesrat and Bundestag to finalize the remaining components of the security package. He also supported the implementation of automated facial recognition and internet data matching.

Green politician von Notz pointed out deficiencies in the handling of information about the perpetrator by authorities, drawing parallels to the Breitscheidplatz attack in Berlin eight years ago. He emphasized the need for improved information sharing among security agencies.
