What are the likely political ramifications of the Munich vehicle attack on Germany's upcoming elections and migration debate?

The Munich vehicle attack involving a 24-year-old Afghan asylum seeker will have significant political consequences for Germany's elections in just 10 days. According to Germany correspondent Damien McGuinness, migration connected to criminal acts has already been a hugely controversial and divisive topic dominating political discourse, including televised debates between Chancellor Olaf Scholz and conservative leader Friedrich Meerz. The incident will inevitably intensify the already heated focus on migration issues, regardless of the specific motivation behind the attack. This comes at a critical time when political leaders are scrambling to address public concerns about immigration and security policies ahead of the vote, making migration a central electoral battleground.
