The recent attack on the Magdeburg Christmas market, which left five dead, has sparked intense political discussions in Germany.
A special session of the Bundestag's Interior Committee was convened to address potential failures by authorities.
Interior Minister Nancy Faeser emphasized the need for stronger security measures, including biometric facial recognition and IP address storage.
However, these proposals have reignited debates over privacy and effectiveness, with opposition from the Greens and FDP.
Questions remain about how the suspect, despite prior convictions and warnings, evaded detection.
The tragedy has also fueled broader discussions on migration and security, with some calling for stricter measures against criminal asylum seekers.
As investigations continue, political leaders promise accountability and reforms to prevent future attacks.
