Gute Nacht, Europe. Guten Morgen, Eurabia

1000 migrants enter Germany every day, And a Bundestag member admitted their culture does not disappear when they cross the border.

Jens Spahn is one of the leaders of the German CDU, a long-time member of the Bundestag (since 2002), former state secretary (2015 to 2018) and former minister (2018 to 2021) under Angela Merkel.

“There will be a risk of a ‘terrible awakening'”, Spahn said in the most dramatic speech by a political leader of the German establishment. The “country could tip over,” Spahn says. “It is above all the cultural area influenced by Islam in which hatred of Jews, incitement against gays, non-equality between men and women are too often part of everyday culture. There are not many Muslim majority countries where people of other faiths have an easy life. Or (where) women have equal rights or gays and lesbians somehow enjoy minority protection. So they just don’t exist. And that also has to do with the culture”.

Berlin police deploy in force, face calmer New Year’s Eve

Berlin police said on Monday that they detained around 390 people overnight on New Year’s Eve in the German capital and have so far tallied just over 700 potential criminal investigations.

Police spokeswoman Anja Dierschke said that 54 officers were injured, 30 of them by fireworks, after 4,500 police from the capital and other states deployed in a major operation launched because of more widespread unrest than usual last year. Only eight of them were unable to finish their shifts though, she said.

Change State Constitution To Stop AfD, Says German Minister

The interior minister of the eastern German state of Thuringia, social democrat (SPD) Georg Maier, is calling for an amendment to the state’s constitution to hinder—or prevent—right-wing anti-globalist party AfD from obtaining a high-ranking position in the state parliament.

Elections are to be held in three eastern states, Brandenburg, Saxony, and Thuringia next year, and AfD (Alternative für Deutschland) is on course to win in all three, possibly garnering a third of all votes, according to opinion polls.

Germany: AfD Wins Saxony Mayoral Election

The right-wing antiglobalist Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) is poised to secure its second mayoral position. Residents of Pirna—a town of 37,000 situated in Saxony—brushed off the state intelligence agency’s recent ‘extremist’ classification of the party and voted AfD candidate Tim Lochner into office.

After finishing first by a nearly ten-point margin in the town’s initial round of voting late last month, Lochner, a 53-year-old master carpenter—who isn’t a member of AfD, but ran on its ticket—again bested his opponents from the Christian Democratic Union (CDU) and Free Voters in the second round of voting on Sunday, December 17th, securing 38.5% of the vote according to the final tally.

Germany: Bavaria can hang crosses in state buildings

Crosses mounted in the entrances of the state’s administrative buildings in Bavaria can stay up, Germany’s highest court for most administrative law disputes ruled on Tuesday.

In 2018, Bavarian state premier Markus Söder of the Christian Social Union (CSU) ordered that all public buildings prominently hang a cross “as an expression of Bavaria’s historical and cultural character.”

A Bavarian lobby group advocating “the meaningful separation of church and state as well as the eradication of church privileges,” whose German name might roughly translate to the Association for Free Thinking for Bavaria (bfg Bayern), challenged the decree in court.


During WW II in Bavaria attempts were made to remove crosses from public buildings by local Nazis.

Soldiers returning from the front on leave were recruited by local Catholics to re-install the crosses in very public displays.

One instance saw a pitchfork wielding mob threaten a local Nazi Bigwig unless he returned the crosses he had hidden. His wife spilled the beans fearing her Nazi hubby would meet a horrible end.

Far-right violence: Chemnitz riot trial begins Monday

The victims have been waiting a long time for this moment: Five years after right-wing extremist riots in the eastern German city of Chemnitz, the trial against the alleged perpetrators will begin on December 11.

Seven defendants between the ages of 26 and 51 stand accused of causing grievous bodily harm and disturbing the peace in 11 separate cases during the incidents of September 1, 2018.

That evening, following an event organized by the far-right Alternative for Germany party (AfD), right-wing populist association Pro Chemnitz, and the anti-Islam Patriotic Europeans Against the Islamization of the Occident (PEGIDA ), the defendants are alleged to have engaged in violent confrontations with participants of a counterdemonstration, according to the indictment by the Dresden public prosector’s office.

Illegal migration to Germany drops dramatically since introduction of border controls

Illegal migration to Germany fell sharply last month after Berlin introduced tougher border-control checks, new figures have revealed.

Federal government statistics showed that there were around 4,353 “unauthorised entries” into the country over its land borders in November compared with 18,384 in the previous month.

There was a significant decline in entries from Poland, the Czech Republic and Switzerland, where Germany has tightened controls, as well as from Austria.

German Police Foil Christmas Market Terror Attacks

Jihadist attacks in Hanover and North Rhine-Westphalia were at an advanced stage of planning.

German police have made a string of arrests of Islamist terrorists who were planning attacks on the country’s famed Christmas markets, evoking memories of the December 19, 2016 attack in Berlin, where a truck driver plowed into a crowd of people, causing 12 deaths.

Concerned that the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict in the Gaza Strip might prompt jihadist attacks, German authorities have been on high alert.

Their concern, as it turns out, is valid.

Germany: Teens allegedly planned Christmas market attack

German Teens

Two German teenagers are accused of plotting a terror attack on a Christmas market in the western German city of Leverkusen, German prosecutors said on Thursday.

The suspects, a 15-year-old boy in North Rhine-Westphalia and a 16-year-old boy in the eastern state of Brandenburg, were arrested earlier on Wednesday.

Prosecutors alleged that two teenagers planned to leave Germany after the attack to join an offshoot of the so-called “Islamic State” group in Afghanistan.

Germany’s Reichsbürger movement is anything but a joke

They don’t believe the German state exists, they make their own passports and they want the German monarchy restored. It’s tempting to dismiss the so-called Reichsbürger movement as a bunch of deranged conspiracy theorists. But the movement is growing, increasingly well-connected and willing to use violence to overthrow the state.

In their latest crackdown on extremist Reichsbürger circles, the German authorities on Thursday conducted a coordinated raid involving around 280 police officers in eight of the country’s 16 states. They targeted 20 residences, involving people aged between 25 and 74 who are suspected of having formed a group around a 58-year-old Bavarian man. He had been arrested before, in November 2021, and is accused of running a Telegram channel through which he incited his 22,000 subscribers to commit crimes. Police officers, for instance, may be ‘summarily executed,’ according to the man. He also pronounced ‘death sentences’ against German ministers of government.

“People Have Been Abandoned”: The Town That Epitomises Germany’s Migrant Failure

A Thuringian town, like many in Germany, grapples with a massive influx of migrants. Locals talked to us about their fears.

SUHL, GERMANY—Thuringia has no say in how many asylum seekers come to the state—these are the words of Thuringia’s Minister for Migration, Doreen Denstädt, whose admission of helplessness says it all about the migration situation in Germany.

Eisenberg, Hermsdorf, and Suhl are small towns in the eastern German state of Thuringia, where reception centres for migrants have been overcrowded for months. Just like most parts of Europe, Germany has been facing an influx of asylum seekers this year: around 205,000 migrants applied for asylum between January and August this year, marking an increase of 77% compared with the same period last year.

BKA Report: Sharp Uptick in Violent Crime Committed by Migrants Against Germans

New figures from Germany’s Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA) that detail the demographic makeup of serious violent crime suspects in 2022 have been called “frightening” by the chief of the Federal Police Union, who urged both state and federal authorities to take swift action to put an end to the problem.

The BKA’s 2022 “Federal situation report on crime in the context of immigration” revealed that 47,923 German citizens fell victim to violent crimes carried out by immigrants—defined by the office as foreigners who came to the country as refugees or asylum seekers—last year, up 18% from 2021, BILD reports.

Only “serious crimes” like homicide, attempted homicide, manslaughter, rape, assault, and robbery that were solved by police were considered in this particular BKA report.
