As the protests intensify, questions arise about the future of immigration policies and the political landscape in Germany.

The aftermath of the Christmas Market attack has sparked a debate on Germany’s immigration policies and the rise of populism in the country.
The primary suspect, a 50-year-old refugee from Saudi Arabia, has raised concerns with his alleged affiliations and actions.
In light of the suspect’s social media posts, authorities are investigating his ties to right-wing groups and anti-immigration figures.
It remains unclear how an individual advocating for asylum seekers would harbor such conflicting views and engage in violent acts.
The situation has fueled a political divide in Germany, with calls to ban certain parties and address the growing discontent among the population.
As the country grapples with the aftermath of the attack, the future of its immigration policies and political landscape hangs in the balance.
