Summary

Germany is enforcing a strict knife ban at Christmas markets as part of a new security package passed in October following a deadly knife attack in Solingen that killed three and injured eight.

Interior Minister Nancy Faeser pledged “strict enforcement” and “zero tolerance,” with fines of up to €10,000 for violations.

The ban applies to knives at festivals, markets, and large events, with police ensuring compliance.

The measures aim to enhance safety at Germany’s iconic markets, which have already seen one unrelated injury this season.

    They don’t want to hear it because they’re brainwashed to pretend all religions are equal or that Islam in particular isn’t the cause of more violence than any other belief system on earth. Looks like CAIR’s propaganda campaigns are paying off.

      It’s a whole PC crap, they don’t want to be seen as politically incorrect. Which just allows this crap to breed.

        I’m as left wing as they come, but I don’t believe in ignoring facts or outright lying about something because the truth is not what you want to hear.
