A 23-year-old Syrian national residing in Austria randomly stabbed five passersby in Villach, Austria, leaving a 14-year-old dead and four others injured. The motive for the attack is unknown, and police are investigating the attacker’s background. Various politicians, including far-right and conservative leaders, expressed condolences and called for stricter immigration laws and harsh consequences for the attacker. Austria’s Interior Minister was expected to arrive in Villach to assess the situation. Authorities planned to establish a grieving zone in the city center. The number of asylum seekers in Austria has significantly decreased in recent years. Some European countries, including Austria, suspended decisions on asylum claims by Syrian nationals due to the political situation in their homeland. Migration has become a central issue in many European countries, with far-right parties making gains in elections. In neighboring Germany, a mother and her 2-year-old daughter died after being injured in a car-ramming attack during a labor union demonstration in Munich, marking the fifth immigrant-related attack in Germany in nine months. Migration is a significant issue ahead of upcoming elections in Germany.
