Following the suspected vehicle attack in Munich on Thursday, German Vice Chancellor Robert Habeck spoke out in favour of a "comprehensive security offensive" to improve law enforcement cooperation and close gaps in policing.
Habeck, who is currently leading the election campaign for Germany's Green Party, said the next government formed after the February 23 elections must take quick action to pass needed new laws to improve security.
"I am horrified by this senseless act," Habeck said in a post on X.
In a subsequent statement, Habeck said the investigation into the attack, the suspect and his motives "must now have the highest priority."
