Markey (D-Mass.), a member of the Foreign Relations Committee, released the following statement today after a truck rammed into a crowd of people at a holiday Christmas market in Berlin. The German authorities are investigating the incident as a possible terrorist attack.\r\n\u00a0\r\n\u201cI condemn today\u2019s barbaric attack in Berlin on innocent bystanders visiting a Christmas market. My thoughts and prayers are with those killed and injured, their loved ones, and all the people of Germany at this tragic moment. Such a wanton and vicious attack on people celebrating a beloved and joyous holiday has no place in a civilized society and can never be justified.\r\n\u00a0\r\n\u201cThe United States stands shoulder to shoulder with our German allies. Together, we will overcome this scourge of terror and violence.", 1, "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z", "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://www.markey.senate.gov/news/press-releases/senator-markey-condemns-attack-on-berlin-christmas-market"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.6642688531428576, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
