On December 20, 2024 a Saudi national drove his car intentionally through a Christmas market in Magdeburg, Germany, killing 5 and injuring over 200 others. One of the dead included a 9-year-old boy. The suspect is 50-year old Taleb A. He is allegedly an ex-Muslim angry at the German state for not allowing more Saudi ex-Muslims to emigrate to the country.
The attack has highlighted Germany’s growing impatience with mass immigration of peoples who don’t want to become culturally German. As of right now, the center-right appears poised to regain control of the government, but rallies in response to the attack suggest the AfD, the more conservative party, could benefit.

Excerpt:
Austrian nationalist Martin Sellner, a leading figure in European Identitarian networks, was one of the most prominent spreaders of the disinformation. Politicians from the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) soon joined in the efforts to capitalize on the attack, in which at least five people were killed by a suspect identified as Talib A.*, a Saudi citizen who has lived in Germany since 2006 and has apparently expressed admiration for the AfD.
“Only the AfD would have deported the man long ago,” Sven Tritschler, the deputy chairman of the AfD in the state parliament of North Rhine-Westphalia, posted to social media.
Dominik Kaufner, an AfD member of the Brandenburg state legislature, posted to social media that “millionfold migration is the problem and millionfold remigration is the solution.”
