Following the knife attack in Winterthur, Zurich's Director of Security Mario Fehr takes a clear stance at a press conference. "We don't want people like that here.

A reserved Mattea Meyer
For Bernese FDP National Councillor Christian Wasserfallen, there is only one reaction: "This crime must have clear consequences. The perpetrator must go. Revoke his citizenship and get out."
SP Co-President Mattea Meyer is somewhat more reserved: "I am convinced that the authorities will be able to clarify whether this Islamist-terrorist act could have been prevented and what is needed to combat extremist terrorism in the future."
