Germany fears ex-pilots share secrets with China

Germany has officially conducted military training programs with China in the past. Indeed, it is common for militaries to exchange technical and tactical experience. It is also not unusual for service members to take their unique skill set to the private sector after they retire.

But when it comes to China these days, these norms are getting a closer look. That was made clear recently by the strong reaction in Germany to a report shining a light on an otherwise mundane practice: A “handful” of retired German air force pilots, according to the magazine, Spiegel, and public broadcaster, ZDF, have gone to China on lucrative private training contracts.

Leipzig forbids fresh far-left demo after 2 nights of unrest

City authorities in Leipzig said on Sunday that they would forbid another planned left-wing protest for the evening in the city.

This follows two nights of violent clashes between police and protesters, with Leipzig police saying that 50 officers sustained injuries over the course of the weekend.

A spokesman for Leipzig’s city council told the German dpa news agency the ban on another protest on Sunday was based on “the experience of Saturday evening.”

Germany’s far-right AfD profits from climate change spat

The far-right Alternative for Germany is flying high, reaching 18% support in two nationwide polls. The party is sharpening its profile by attacking the Green Party’s climate policies.

The Alternative for Germany (AfD) has been in an uproar for weeks. According to the opposition party, the policies of the federal government are not only failing, but a threat to peace and prosperity.

The far-right party positions itself for confrontation in almost all areas of policy: When it comes to the war in Ukraine, the AfD calls for peace negotiations instead of weapons deliveries. For migration, the party advocates tightening the borders instead of recruiting skilled workers.

Above all, the far-right populist party portrays itself as an aggressive opponent to the government’s energy and climate policy.

Germany: Police break up banned far-left Antifa protest in Leipzig

Left-wing protesters wanted to gather to protest a jail term given to a woman for attacking neo-Nazis. Despite court bans, police first tried to accommodate the protest, but broke it up when officers came under attack.

Several police officers were injured in the eastern German city of Leipzig on Saturday in clashes with left-wing protesters.

Leipzig police spokesman Olaf Hoppe described the situation as “very dynamic,” with “sometimes massive clashes here in the south of Leipzig.”

He said that “roughly 1,500 people” turned up to the demonstration, even though several courts had refused to authorize it.

Left-wing extremism in Germany: How much of a threat is it?

Germany is bracing for street protests by the far-left “Antifa” movement this week, after the conviction of Lina E., who was found guilty of physically assaulting neo-Nazis.

Twenty-eight-year-old student Lina E. was sentenced to five years and three months in prison this week for causing bodily harm and belonging to a criminal organization. She and her three co-defendants were found guilty of attacking and seriously injuring suspected right-wing extremists. These acts, the judge said, showed how far militant anti-fascist groups could go.

It is the first such case in for many years, but Germany’s domestic intelligence agency says left-wing extremism is growing. In its latest report, published last year, the Office for the Protection of the Constitution (BfV) recorded a rise in the number of “violence-oriented” left-wing extremists of around 700 to 10,300 from 2020 to 2021.

Fourth Reich disseminates ominous new report on ‘environmental policy’

If you said that climate lockdowns would be next, you might be a conspiracy theorist.

If you’re making simple observations and drawing basic conclusions about the world around you, you might be a conspiracy theorist.

If you have even the most rudimentary understanding of big government leftism and limited government conservatism, you might be a conspiracy theorist.

Recession in Germany is a sign of Europe’s deindustrialisation

A lack of access to cheap energy has made the continent less competitive

Last week Germany announced that, after the government statistics agency revised its recent GDP figures, it was clear that the country was in recession. In recent history it has tended to hold up well as the global economy softened relative to some of Europe’s weaker economies. But this time it seems that Germany is leading the pack into recession.

Green Sleaze in Germany

“Hang the Greens” Germany, election poster

Germany’s Green Party is currently being rocked by a cronyism scandal, after it was revealed that several key figures in the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action were not only ideological allies but also close relatives. These revelations forced economy minister Robert Habeck—a member of the Greens—to sack his closest aide and ally, Patrick Graichen, the former state secretary responsible for pushing through radical and costly green energy policies.

‘Ukraine blew up Nord Stream pipelines, Germany believes’

German investigators are sceptical of claims that Russian naval ships sabotaged the Nord Stream gas pipelines and are instead pursuing leads that point to the Ukrainian authorities, according to a report.

Three of the four strands of the pipelines, built to transport Russian gas to Germany on the bed of the Baltic Sea, were knocked out by underwater explosions last September, effectively severing the main energy link between the two countries.

The end of Germany’s open borders

The Bundestag’s war guilt is finally lifting

Wir schaffen das! Who could forget Angela Merkel’s one-liner on August 31, 2015 — best translated as “Yes, we can!” — after she opened her country’s borders to hundreds of thousands of migrants making their way from Syria, Afghanistan and elsewhere in the Middle East? In the liberal Anglophone press, Germany was practically re-branded as a humanitarian superpower overnight. It was as if, with this grand, risky gesture, Germany had finally atoned for the crimes of the past.

A generation on, east Germans are smarting over sneers from the west

What is an Ossi’s favourite sport? The bobsled: there’s a wall on one side, a wall on the other, and it’s all downhill.

East and west Germans, crudely nicknamed Ossis and Wessis, have been trading ostensibly harmless jokes about each other for decades. They are part of the cultural furniture of reunification, a way for people on both sides to smooth over the difficulties of rebuilding a nation after 45 years of division.

Germany sees record number of politically motivated crimes

Germany recorded 58,916 cases of politically motivated crime in 2022, an increase of some 7% compared with the previous year, according to figures released on Tuesday.

Interior Minister Nancy Faeser said right-wing extremism remained the greatest threat to German democracy, with Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and the COVID-19 pandemic also cited as important factors for the rise in politically motivated crime.

A significant increase was also recorded in crimes and acts of violence by the far-right Reichsbürger (citizens of the Reich) movement.

8 Rapes Per Day Recorded in Germany’s Most Populous State in 2022

While the number of reported rapes in North Rhine-Westphalia—Germany’s most populous city—increased 25% in 2022 compared to the previous year, the number of rapes involving more than one perpetrator jumped by 43%.
