In the wake of the violent attack on the Berlin CSD, the call from CDU and CSU politicians for a harder line against threat suspects is both understandable and necessary. The suspect was already under surveillance, yet still able to carry out the attack, exposing gaps in the current system. Advocates for stricter measures argue that the legal framework is too weak to prevent such attacks. They point to the need for easier preemptive detention and deportation of dangerous individuals, especially those with links to extremism. The safety of public events must be paramount, and the state has a duty to protect its citizens. The incident shows that existing laws are insufficient, and the government should act swiftly to close loopholes. The LGBTQ+ community, already vulnerable, deserves stronger protection. The proposed changes are not about curtailing freedoms but about ensuring that known threats cannot strike again.
