German Chancellor Friedrich Merz has vowed a determined response after the deadly Berlin terror attack, calling it an assault on Germany's freedom and open society. Merz questioned how a suspect reportedly under surveillance was able to reach the attack site undetected, demanding answers from security authorities. He also raised concerns over Germany's ability to monitor high-risk threats, comparing it to everyday device tracking technology. While ruling out rushed decisions, Merz said the government would carefully examine legal and security measures to prevent similar attacks, while reaffirming support for the victims, their families, and emergency responders.
