BERLIN / AP
Germany’s interior and justice ministers hope to thrash out initial plans for a response to last month’s truck attack on a Christmas market, with a tougher stance expected towards suspected extremists who don’t have asylum.
Chancellor Angela Merkel has said the December 19 attack in Berlin demands a swift response that guarantees both security and civil liberties. Interior Minister Thomas de Maiziere and Justice Minister Heiko Maas, who belong to the conservative and center-left parties respectively in Merkel’s “grand coalition” of traditional rivals, plan to meet on Tuesday.
