Love Parade Berlin

[Andres]

It seems like some are trying to escape their responsability...

There are allegations that police may have tried to cover up what happened. SPIEGEL ONLINE has learned that one office of the Federal Police erased all its documents about the Love Parade -- including orders, reports from the scene and maps -- from the computers and email accounts of its officers. "A big vacuum cleaner came round very quickly," said one officer, who believes it may have been part of a deliberate coverup.
Such reports raise questions about whether the comprehensive investigation that German President Christian Wulff had earlier announced would really take place.


A spokesman for the Federal Police said late on Sunday there had been no instruction to remove data from computers. "All documents about the operation are available and can be requested and read," he said.

It's not the fault of the local government but of the event organisers. The local government didn't organise it AFAIK.

Actually local authorities are very much responsible, or do you believe that they are not involved in the planning and approval process for an avent of such scale?

In communist countries like Western Europe, the difference between the two is marginal at best.
