Falter’s editor Florian Kenk wrote that the police thought this young man of Albanian blood would not dare to carry out acts of terror in Austria.
Chancellor Sebastian Kurz said the attack carried out by Falter was based on hatred and was a terrorist attack.
“He hates our core values, he hates our way of life, he hates our democracy where everyone has the same rights,” he said.
