AfD leader shocked by Berlin CSD attack; parade canceled

On July 30, 2026, AfD top candidate Siegmund expressed shock over a terrorist attack on Berlin's Christopher Street Day (CSD) parade, asking 'How many more times?' in a statement to nius.de. As a result, the Techno Parade 'Zug der Liebe' (Train of Love), scheduled for August 26, 2023, was canceled due to the attack. The incident has heightened concerns about far-right violence in Germany, where the AfD has been gaining political ground. Germany's heat death toll has also neared 10,000, adding to the country's challenges.
