CEP Senior Director Dr. Hans-Jakob Schindler interviewed: "Tragic events with a connection to the European Championship - but no cause for concern for terrorism expert Hans-Jakob Schindler. "The incidents are within the range of what was to be expected," he emphasizes. Such acts are difficult to prevent."

"Today's guest on the "Alles Muss Raus" podcast is Dr. Hans-Jakob Schindler from the Counter Extremism Project. Together with his colleagues, he pursues the goal of countering threats from extremist ideologies. In today's interview, Thilo wants to know from him how Germany has prepared for possible attacks. Should people be worried when they go to a soccer stadium or should they even stay at home? Is it possible to enjoy this year's European Championship in your own country? Dr. Schindler gives the all-clear - according to the expert, the European Championship is very well protected against possible attacks. The police and security apparatus have been preparing for possible dangers for months. Nevertheless, Thilo has an oppressive feeling. Could people want to imitate the Mannheim attacker? How safe are other major events, such as the Fusion Festival, which Thilo will be attending again this year? He also wonders how to prepare for an attack if the worst comes to the worst. How do civilians recognize terror?"
