2nd Committee of Inquiry Continues Interrogations
Berlin: The 2nd Committee of Inquiry of the German Bundestag continued its interrogations on Friday, November 11, 2024. The committee is investigating the events surrounding the storming of the Reichstag building on October 3, 2023.
On Friday, the committee questioned former Interior Minister Nancy Faeser (SPD). Faeser was responsible for the security of the Reichstag building on the day of the storming. She was asked about the security measures that were in place and why they failed to prevent the attack.
Faeser defended the security measures that were in place, saying that they were “appropriate” for the level of threat that was known at the time. She also said that the storming of the Reichstag building was “a surprise attack” that could not have been prevented.
The committee also questioned former Federal Police Commissioner Dieter Romann. Romann was responsible for the security of the Reichstag building on the day of the storming. He was asked about the deployment of police officers and why they were unable to prevent the attack.
Romann said that the police officers were “overwhelmed” by the number of protesters who stormed the Reichstag building. He also said that the police officers were “not prepared” for the level of violence that was used by the protesters.
The committee is expected to continue its interrogations in the coming weeks. The committee’s final report is expected to be published in early 2025.
