Saxony-Anhalt's Interior Minister Tamara Zieschang defended security measures in Magdeburg following a tragic attack at the Christmas market that resulted in five deaths and over 200 injuries. She emphasized the police's proactive measures, including random bag checks and a strong police presence, which helped apprehend the attacker quickly. Despite criticisms regarding the attack and calls for better coordination among authorities, experts noted that complete security at festive markets is challenging.
