The Greens criticize Dobrindt’s plans for tougher criminal law after the CSD attack in Berlin.
Background & Context
After the CSD attack, Alexander Dobrindt is calling for electronic ankle monitors as the standard measure for potential threats, nationwide uniform rules for preventive detention, and a reform of juvenile criminal law. The Greens’ domestic policy politician Konstantin von Notz criticized blanket calls for a tightening of criminal law.
At the same time, he advocated fully using existing sentencing ranges against Islamists and equipping the security authorities effectively against extremist threats. The dispute therefore mainly concerns which additional measures are suitable, necessary, and compatible with the rule of law.
