Vor den New Yorker Gedenkfeiern für die Toten der Terroranschläge vom 11. September vor 25 Jahren regt sich Widerstand gegen die Teilnahme des muslimischen Bürgermeisters Zohran Mamdani. Mehr als 110.000 Menschen unterschrieben bis Donnerstag eine Online-Petition auf dem Portal change.org. Darin werden die Organisatoren aufgerufen, Mamdani auszuladen. Hinter der Petition steht Giovanni Galante, dessen Ehefrau Grace Catherine 2001 beim Einsturz des World Trade Centers starb.
NEW YORK, NEW YORK - SEPTEMBER 08: New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani speaks during a press conference on the release of 9/11 related documents at City Hall on September 08, 2026 in New York City. Mayor Mamdani was joined by elected officials, first responders, family members of loved ones affected by 9/11 related illnesses and advocates as he announced the release of previously unseen documents raising concerns about air quality in Manhattan in the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks. The release resolves a lawsuit brought by advocacy group 9/11 Health Watch, which sued the city for the documents. Michael M. Santiago/Getty Images/AFP (Photo by Michael M.
