The increased security precautions are not unfounded because the background of the pro-Palestinian demonstrations in the capital and the current Middle East conflict have intensified the mood in the city. Police President Barbara Slovik said that many emotions could be carried on the street. "We significantly increase the protection of the fire brigade and the other rescue workers," emphasized Slovic, while the number of patrol cars is increased at the same time to meet the challenges that could occur on New Year's Eve, especially in more critical parts of the city. Wegner announced that the judiciary would also be willing to act quickly.
