Overview
- The state delivered roughly 1,400 additional files to the parliamentary inquiry this morning, including the SMS and chat records demanded by SPD and FDP.
- Officials say more than 7,000 datasets had already been transmitted earlier in the week, with the new tranche covering mobile communications from the attack weekend through January 30.
- New migration minister Verena Schäffer pledged full cooperation in her first Landtag address and centered the victims of the 2024 Islamist attack in her remarks.
- FDP chief Henning Höne argued in an Aktuelle Stunde debate that the absence of repeatedly requested texts could not be accidental, while SPD’s Lisa Kapteinat urged an end to delays.
- Media disclosure of two previously unseen SMS triggered the escalation over records and preceded Josefine Paul’s resignation from the post earlier this week.
