German police threaten to defy AfD orders if party takes power

Germany’s police union has called on officers to defy any “unconstitutional” orders if the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party comes to power.

Sven Hüber, the deputy president of the Union of Police, compared the hard-Right party to the Nazis, and said it was incumbent upon officers to uphold the constitution.

“You can’t swear an oath on the constitution and ally with its enemies at the same time,” wrote Mr Hüber in the lead article in the police union’s magazine.

I think Sven needs some remedial democracy lessons.

Germany approves lifting curbs on spy agencies in security ‘revolution’

Germany approves lifting curbs on spy agencies in security ‘revolution’

The German government has approved a draft law aimed at lifting many of the restraints on its spy agencies imposed during the postwar period as the country reels from two attacks in a month that have exposed serious security gaps.

The controversial changes, which must still pass parliament, largely comply with a wishlist pulled together by the foreign and domestic intelligence services, which have long complained Germany lags behind its allies and enemies.

“We are turning our intelligence services into genuine secret services,” the interior minister, Alexander Dobrindt, told Bild newspaper, which called it a security “revolution” and “historic”.

Beach where bathers must speak German sparks far-Right row

Beach where bathers must speak German sparks far-Right row

As a lifeguard with two decades’ experience, Mathias Nobel has seen it all while standing vigil at the Heidebad lakeside beach in Halle, eastern Germany.

Whether it be small children swimming without armbands, or parents enjoying a few too many cocktails at his Hawaiian-style beach bar, he has always known how to react.

But this summer, Mr Nobel made the unconventional decision to ban non-German speakers from the lake on the grounds of safety, saying swimmers must be able to understand his instructions and rules.

Germany: “Far-right” AfD extends its lead in nationwide polls

For the time being, there is still widespread agreement among all democratic parties in Germany: Cooperating with the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) remains out of the question. However, whether this will remain the case is becoming increasingly uncertain. The established parties have so far been unable to halt the AfD’s surge in the polls over recent months.

Germany: 51% No Longer See Country As Safe

Germany: 51% No Longer See Country As Safe

More than half of Germans no longer believe their country is stable and safe following last week’s Islamist terror attack at Berlin’s Pride celebrations, according to a new opinion poll, highlighting growing public concern over the country’s failed migration policies.

The survey found that 51% of respondents rather or strongly disagreed with the statement that “Germany is a stable and safe country.” Only 37% agreed, while 12% said they were undecided.

The attack has had a direct impact on people’s sense of personal security.

Germany’s Electricity Rationing Is No Longer Unthinkable

Germany’s Electricity Rationing Is No Longer Unthinkable

For a child of the 1980s, it is undoubtedly a peculiar experience to witness the seemingly unstoppable decline of Germany into the lower ranks of developed nations. What memories do the events surrounding the invasion of the Spanish enclaves Ceuta and Melilla evoke these days? The loss of control in 2015 and its serious consequences for our society are becoming tangible again. Germany’s cities have not been the same since those years — German citizens are paying an enormous price for the ideological-socialist delusion that has embedded itself in all parties beyond the firewall, in their organizations, and in the media.

Germany Has Stripped Just Two Jihadists of Citizenship Since 2019

Germany Has Stripped Just Two Jihadists of Citizenship Since 2019

German authorities have revoked the citizenship of only two dual nationals for fighting with terrorist organizations abroad, despite approximately 1,150 Islamists having traveled from Germany to Syria and Iraq between 2011 and 2024 to join the Islamic State, al-Qaeda, or other Islamist groups.

The issue has returned to the political spotlight following the Islamist attack on Berlin’s Christopher Street Day parade, with calls to strip convicted Islamist extremists of their German citizenship where legally possible.

Germany’s Cultural Suicide

Germany’s Cultural Suicide

light EZY8629 from London Gatwick touched down at Berlin Brandenburg at 05:40am, and with it came an unexpected pang of nostalgia for Berlin’s old Tegel Airport.

I had flown there in 2020, shortly before it was closed and repurposed as a refugee arrival and accommodation centre.

I had been training as an English teacher with the Berlin School of English at the time, and used to love taking the S- and U-Bahns from Friedrichstraße to Charlottenburg, and Wilmersdorfer Straße to Fehrbelliner Platz to visit my aunt and uncle who lived nearby.

The German Establishment is so Desperate to Crush the AfD it has Developed an AI ‘Racist Uncle’ and Sent it into Schools for Children to Debate

Täteropferumkehr is the German term for “victim blaming” – often hyphenated as Täter-Opfer-Umkehr to make it look slightly less clunky. In recent times, our political and media establishment have turned it into a sharp tool, employed with reference to both foreign and domestic politics.

Unsurprisingly, Germany’s woke lLeft – always eager to champion the alleged plight of the “oppressed” – views Israel, the only functioning democracy in the Middle East, as the ultimate perpetrator, while framing bloodthirsty Arab aggressors as the true victims. In 2025, five Berlin-based “activists” (four of whom openly identify as “they/them”) ransacked an Elbit Systems facility in Ulm, causing over a million euros in damage. Now standing trial in Stuttgart, they naturally view themselves as the victims.

German Muslims are alarmed by next week’s Berlin Islamist terror attack

German Muslims are alarmed by next week’s Berlin Islamist terror attack

The terrorist attack that struck Berlin’s Pride celebration, or Christopher Street Day (CSD), late on Saturday evening has heightened fears and concerns about further Islamist attacks. Until Sunday evening, when security forces confronted 21-year-old Abdul B. and fatally shot him, most media outlets and the politicians responsible referred to a “suspected perpetrator” and “alleged motives”.

Investigators are now relatively certain that the perpetrator was an Islamist, a radicalized Muslim with links to the “Islamic State” terror group. Politicians and security agencies are debating stricter laws and expanded surveillance powers. Federal Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt of the conservative Christian Social Union (CSU) is politically responsible for this area.

Will Germany Finally Change How It Handles Islamic Terrorists?

On July 25, a car driven by a known Islamic terrorist, Abdul Bellout, went through the Berlin Pride event, killing one and injuring many more. Bellout was shot dead by police following a manhunt. Several years ago, Bellout was arrested and imprisoned for trying to join an Islamic terror group. As part of his release, he was ordered to go to “deradicalization training.”

Baffled by AfD

On Saturday evening, a 21-year-old identified by authorities as Abdul Ballout and described as a known member of “Islamist circles” in Berlin, plowed a van into a crowd at that city’s Pride event in the Tiergarten, killing one woman and injuring 29 people. After fleeing the scene, the perpetrator was on the loose for several hours before being shot to death on Sunday in the capital’s Spandau district by police whom he had lunged at with a knife.
