Seven years after Walter Lübcke's murder, Germany debates its lessons

Walter Lübcke, a Christian Democratic politician in Hesse, was murdered by a right-wing extremist seven years ago; investigators and observers repeatedly described the killing as an execution. His only 'offence' was defending the basic decency of welcoming refugees. Commentators argue Germany still suffers a 'Haltungsschaden' — a failure of attitude — in how it confronts right-wing extremism and protects those who stand up to it.
Why now: The seventh anniversary of the murder has prompted renewed reflection on political hatred and the response to right-wing extremism in Germany.
