NRW Minister Faces Criticism Over Solingen Attack Response

Josefine Paul defends her actions amid backlash over delayed communication following the Solingen terror incident.

Josefine Paul, NRW's Integration Minister, is under scrutiny for her handling of information after the Solingen attack.
The attack on August 23 resulted in three deaths and was claimed by the Islamic State; the suspect is in custody.
Paul claims she was informed late by Interior Minister Herbert Reul, affecting her response time.
Critics, including SPD and FDP, accuse the NRW government of poor crisis communication and transparency.
A parliamentary investigation is underway to assess the communication breakdown and explore potential improvements.
