at least his boss is convinced hans-georg mohsen the president of germany's domestic security agency caused an outcry when he appeared to downplay far right violence last week but despite calls for muslims terminations germany's interior minister came to his defense. you know i've informed the committee for domestic affairs that on the basis of his report his explanation and our discussion i see no reason for personal consequences. on the us see. the controversy surrounds a video from the city of kemet for many it was proof that far right mobs have hunted down people they took for migrants but in an interview mohsin said the video could be inauthentic that there was no evidence of racist violence and kemet on wednesday he pedaled back telling the committee it was all a misunderstanding. i don't know my clock is not made it clear how the communication could have been better or why there was a possible misunderstanding rather than me it was a very clear unequivocal statement that he gave still nam india up gave him had not everyone in parliament however agreed that the matter is settle
