Scholz: German election won't be decided by 'owners of social media channels'
The German Chancellor delivered a pointed New Year's Eve address, insisting German citizens would decide the fate of the country themselves and encouraging unity in response to a recent attack in Magdeburg.
Germany's New Year celebrations turned deadly as violent mobs targeted police officers and firefighters, resulting in five fatalities, numerous injuries, and hundreds of arrests. The unrest, which spread across multiple cities, included attacks with fireworks and other pyrotechnics, causing significant disruption and danger. In Berlin, emergency services faced unprecedented violence, with 330 arrests and at least 13 documented attacks on responders. One officer suffered severe injuries from an illegal firework and required surgery. Similar chaos erupted in Leipzig, Cologne, Hamburg, and Munich, with rioters setting fires, building barricades, and attacking law enforcement

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, in his New Yearās Eve address, took a veiled swipe at tech billionaire Elon Musk for his vocal support of the right-wing Alternative for Germany (AfD) party. Scholz warned that Germany's future would not be shaped by the influence of social media moguls, emphasizing that decisions about the nation's direction should lie with the citizens, not external figures. In a pointed remark, Scholz stated that, despite the growing attention garnered by extreme opinions, the vast majority of reasonable and decent people will ultimately determine the course of the country. The Chancellorās comments came in response to Muskās controversial endorsement of AfD, which has drawn criticism from German officials for its extremist views.
