The survey also shows that 51% of respondents do not consider Germany a safe country, with only 37% agreeing that it is a stable and secure land.
The Call for Solidarity
In response to the attack, SPD Faction Chief Matthias Miersch has called for Bundeskanzler Friedrich Merz to attend the CSD in Hamburg. Miersch believes that a visit from the Chancellor would be a significant gesture of solidarity with the LGBTQ+ community. He stated, "It would be a very good sign if the Chancellor were to come to a CSD. I think it's important for us as political responsibility bearers to show our flag in this situation." Miersch himself plans to attend the CSD in Hamburg, where he expects around 250,000 people to gather.
A Community in Pain
The CSD community is still reeling from the attack, with many feeling emotional and vulnerable. Miersch understands this pain and has expressed his support for the community. He stated, "Many CSD participants are suffering after the attack, even if they were not directly affected."
