Concrete figures presented: During the New Year's Eve riots, there were 282 attacks on the fire brigade and police.
This has repercussions for the traffic light in the Bundestag.
Update from January 18, 3:22 p.m .:
The traffic light’s migration officer, Reem Alabali-Radovan, immediately countered the Union’s allegations in the Bundestag.
"It's brute force, it's disgusting and it has to be punished consistently," she said, referring to the New Year's Eve riots.
"But it is also clear that we have to judge the perpetrators by their actions and not by their first names," she emphasized.
It's about "brutal youth violence".
"These are our young people," emphasized the SPD politician, the problem cannot simply be dismissed.
Ethnicity, origin or religion explained "nothing" - but the social conditions in which people live.
In addition to a hard edge, "the outstretched hand" is also necessary.
"They fuel general suspicion and throw blanket insults around on talk shows and that's another slap in the face for 22 million people with an immigrant background in our country," Alabali-Radovan accused the CDU and CSU.
Hooligan riots in Dresden are about "individual cases", in Neukölln suddenly about "the Arabs".
New Year's Eve riots: CSU settles accounts in the Bundestag - "We have to look at the perpetrators"
Update from January 18, 3:15 p.m .:
The CSU went to court in the Bundestag with the reaction of the traffic light government and the Berlin city government to the New Year’s riots.
"What we need is a strong state nationwide," said interior expert Andrea Lindholz at the start of the current hour in the Bundestag.
The Berlin police lack staff and equipment.
Instead, Franziska Giffey's red-red-green coalition handed out "expensive election gifts" before the new election.
The emergency services deserve "thanks, respect and recognition, 365 days a year," emphasized Lindholz.
What is needed is “political backing and no distrust.
The CSU politician referred to Bavaria, where the police quickly established order.
"These excesses of violence in Berlin are the result of 20 years of social-democratic state politics," reprimanded the Bavarian.
The situation in Berlin is a "single disaster".
"Of course we also have to take a close look at the perpetrators," Lindholz continued.
Two thirds of the 145 rioters arrested were not German citizens.
Anyone who ignores this fuels distrust in the population.
"The strong state that enforces its law" is the solution.
Lindholz emphasized that it is now imperative not to discuss terms, probably with a view to the debate about CDU leader Friedrich Merz.
Bundestag on Wednesday: Schulze explains traffic light plans against hunger
Update from January 18, 3:08 p.m .:
Development Minister Svenja Schulze (SPD) has already survived the cross-examination: In the government survey in the Bundestag, she ruled out genetic engineering as a means of combating global hunger as the main lever.
"There are no genetically engineered crops that will truly fight world hunger," she said.
Instead, her ministry is building on the promotion of regionally and locally adapted plant varieties.
Just a few days ago, the United Nations warned that eight million children in 15 crisis countries were currently at risk of starvation.

This is the result of a survey by the
Tagesspiegel
among all 16 interior ministries of the federal states.

Who are the perpetrators?
After the New Year's Eve riots, the CDU and AfD continue to fuel the debate on migration
The AfD in the Bundestag also sees a great need to speak.

Opposition leader Merz had sharply criticized the New Year's Eve riots, indirectly blamed "small pashas" for the long-term development - and triggered a great outcry nationwide.

These included numerous cases of direct attacks on police officers and firefighters - but not only.

Federal Minister of Justice Marco Buschmann (FDP) emphasized that it must be a matter of enforcing the applicable law.
Despite the riots, he currently sees “no need in that sense” for a change in criminal law.
