Merkel: Entire Country United in Deep Sorrow Over Attack in Berlin

Chancellor Angela Merkel spoke to the press on Tuesday, December 20, about the attack on Breitscheidplatz:

“This is a very difficult day. I, like millions of people in Germany, am horrified, shocked, and deeply saddened by what happened yesterday evening at Breitscheidplatz in Berlin.

A cruel, and ultimately incomprehensible, act robbed them of their lives. Over 40 more people are injured, fighting for their lives or health.”
