Schnieder expressed deep concern over the current climate, stating, "Unfortunately, this is not the case in Rhineland-Palatinate either. That Jews are attacked on the open street deeply shames and saddens me." He affirmed the state government's firm stance against increasing antisemitism, vowing to confront it directly.
