The suspect in the Magdeburg Christmas market attack is a self-described Saudi dissident. German authorities say he supports a right-wing party. Could police have done more to prevent the ramming? And where does this leave a country divided by immigration and the rising popularity of the far-right?

  • Ulrich Brueckner, Professor, Political Science, Stanford University, Berlin.
  • Rachel Rizzo, Non-resident Senior Fellow, Atlantic Council's Europe Center.
