An Afghan asylum seeker suspected of ramming a car into a crowd in Munich and injuring dozens of people has been named by German media as Farhad N. At least 28 people were injured after a car veered into a crowd of people at a union demonstration in the German city of Munich today, police said.
Participants in a demonstration by the service workers' union ver.di were walking along a street at about 10.30am when the car overtook a police vehicle following the gathering, accelerated and ploughed into the back of the group, police said.
Germany's main opposition conservative bloc, in which Mr Soder is a prominent figure, has demanded a tougher approach to irregular migration, calling for many more people to be turned back at the country's borders and for an increase in deportations.
Centre-left Chancellor Olaf Scholz's government said it already has done a lot to reduce irregular migration, and that the opposition's plans are incompatible with German and European Union law.
"This is more evidence that we can't go from attack to attack and show dismay, thank police for their deployment," Mr Soder said.
