in Berlin, a heated debate about the first names of alleged offenders from New Year's Eve causes excitement. The publication of a list of 256 first names by the right -wing populist internet portal "Nius" has triggered massive criticism. Interior Senator Iris Spranger (SPD) commented on the interior committee of the House of Representatives and described the transfer of this information as a "serious violation of data protection". This publication allegedly comes from security circles and refers to suspects with German citizenship, although according to "Nius" about two thirds of the names of Arab or Turkish origin should be originally href = "https://www.berliner-zeitung.de/mensch-metropole/was-ist-schon-de-vorname-niklas-ist--und-polmi-belanz-belanz-bilvester-li.2288880"> Berliner Zeitung . Spranger called for a rapid clarification of the incident by the State Criminal Police Office.

Police President Barbara Slovik emphasized in the committee that the publication of this list was "unacceptable" and spoke of an administrative offense that may also be relevant. She assured that there will be no first names of suspects by the police in the future and that the statistical surveys nationwide only take place after nationalities. The spokesman for the left, Niklas Schrader, criticized the CDU and its role in the debate about the first names and migration backgrounds. He described the name "Niklas" as Scandinavian and questioned what was a "German first name" at all. Green politician Vasili Franko added the discussion by asking: "Why should a Ronny be punished differently than a Mohammed?" These questions illustrate the complexity and sensitivity of the topic.
The figures of the "New Year's Eve -typical crimes" registered show an increase from 1,328 in the previous year to 1,533 in the current survey, supported by the evaluation of current cases. So far, 705 suspects have been investigated, but information about their migration background does not follow the police.
