Racism is ‘reality’ of Germany, says Chancellor Scholz
GENEVA (AA) – German Chancellor Olaf Scholz admits that racism is a reality in his country.
He said there was a need to come together to fight this menace.
Taking to Twitter on the death anniversary of German resident Marwa El-Sherbini, who was stabbed during a court trial, Sholz said there should be no room for racism.
“Unfortunately, racism is a reality in our country. A reality we must overcome together,” Scholz said on Twitter on the death anniversary of Dresden resident Marwa El-Sherbini, stabbed during a court trial by a man whom she was accused of an anti -Muslim hate crime against her in 2009.
Scholz added: “There must be no room for racist, anti-Semitic or anti-Muslim hatred.”
Born in Egypt Sherbini was killed during an appeal hearing in front of her three-year-old son and husband.
She was killed by the same man whom she had accused of a hate crime against her in 2009.
The initial confrontation between the victim and perpetrator had reportedly happened because she wore a headscarf.
