#Berlin has reported a marked increase in attacks on asylum seekers and refugee shelters, amid a sharp rise in far-right crime and a hardening of German migration policy.

Official figures provided at the request of two local Green party lawmakers showed there were 77 assaults on asylum seekers and #refugees in 2024 and eight instances of deliberate damage to residences housing them.

This compares with 32 targeted attacks on people and none on residences in 2023, one of the deputies, Ario Ebrahimpour Mirzaie, told the news agency dpa.

As a result of the assaults, 34 people needed treatment in hospital, according to the official data. These included 16 women, 14 men, two girls and two males whose age was not reported.

“The number of insults, threats and attacks against refugees has been worryingly high for years and it is outrageous that these conditions are accepted with a shrug by many politicians and members of the public,”

The Conservative leader, Friedrich Merz, who is due to be sworn in as chancellor on 6 May, campaigned on dramatically tightening border policy and bringing irregular immigration to a halt, after stricter measures already undertaken by the centre-left-led predecessor government.

“How Reform is channelling Maga to try and make Farage prime minister

Riding onto the stage on a JCB, the Reform leader was cheered by thousands of party activists, including some wearing “make Britain great again” caps”

Marine Le Pen and 24 of her fascist party members, including nine former members of the European parliament and their 12 parliamentary assistants, were found guilty of a vast scheme over many years to embezzle European parliament funds, by using money earmarked for European parliament assistants to instead pay party workers in France.

Judge Benedicte de Perthuis, reading the verdict of the panel of three justices, said Le Pen had been "at the heart" of the scheme. The judge said that while Le Pen and other co-defendants didn't enrich themselves personally, the embezzlement was "a democratic bypass" that deceived the parliament and voters.

The so-called fake jobs system covered parliamentary assistant contracts between 2004 and 2016, and was unprecedented in scale and duration, causing losses of €4.5m (£3.8m) to European taxpayer funds.

Meanwhile Le Pen, her gang and all right-wing dickheads across the world are crying like babies for ‘denial of democracy’. What a bunch of hypocrites!
Obran, Trump, Milei & their ilks have proven there is less democracy once these fascists have a seat.

For all German people, choose wisely , your elections are crucial for Europe. Remember if you are critical on migration/refugees, the role of islam etc. it's not necessary to vote on an extreme-right party like the AfD that represents fascism / nazism in a modern form, supports Trump/Musk and Russia. There are enough respectable parties on the left and right to choose from.

There is no doubt that Zelensky and the Ukrainian people want peace. The only country attacking in Ukraine, conquering territory and striking civilian targets is Russia. Russia can stop this war today. However it doesn't want that. Putin wants to destroy Ukraine as a sovereign and independent nation. Trump, Putin and extreme right in Europe want to change the narrative, blame Zelensky and others, don't let them.

Why did the middle classes support fascism? by Jonas Čeika - CCK Philosophy on YT

Also deals with similarities with Trump voters and January 6 perpetrators.

Reminds me of the research on violent Dutch football (soccer) supporters: same class as the January 6 people.

'Visualised: Europe's population crisis'
By Alex Clark

"the continent’s native population is expected to fall sharply over the next century in an era of low birth rates"

"Experts warn that European societies will age more quickly without immigration, bringing forward a host of economic challenges as workforces shrink and care burdens grow."

"projections that include a zero net migration scenario"

When Pete Hegseth went to Europe to echo Kremlin propaganda this week, he banned almost all media from coming with him. But he invited Jack Posobiec to travel with him.
This is chilling if you know who Jack Posobiec is.

If I was Putin I would spend a few million to encourage individuals to execute terrorist attacks, by funding websites, propaganda, disinformation. Extreme left-wing, extreme Muslims, enough people available. Extreme right parties can then ride the wave of anger, blame immigrants etc . It's all so predictable but happening before our eyes and a lot of people fall for it. And it happened before during the Cold War in the 80s

The enemy within Europe and Germany:
AfD leader Alice Weidel says, “We want to have very good relations with Russia.
“What we want is to end a policy of sanctions that is, above all, one thing: damaging to our country.”
#AfD #Russia #Germany #nazis #extremeright #aliceweidel

As #jdvance proposes #democratic #parties to collaborate with #extremeright #AfD it would be a sign if consistency if the #gop to collaborate with #democrats .

But frankly, I assume his interference is #hypocrisy and just like #Trump ( starting direct talks with #putin and making #concessions as is this was the very first deal in his life ) the intent is to create maximum diplomatic damage in #Europe .

In the end #Trump will have #USA mostly isolated and too weak to face #China .

'JD Vance breaks taboo by meeting with leader of Germany’s far-right party'

"At the meeting in Munich on Friday, the US vice-president and AfD leader, Alice Weidel, reportedly discussed the war in Ukraine, German domestic politics and the so-called brandmauer, or “firewall against the right”

"Vance did not meet with Olaf Scholz, the German chancellor who should be among the US’ key partners in negotiations with Russia over the future of the war in Ukraine. “We don’t need to see him, he won’t be chancellor long,” one former US official told Politico of the Vance team’s approach."

Unbelievable, such an affront.

Als je ziet dat een of andere religieuze extremist een aanslag pleegt, lijkt het me logischer om anti-religie te worden dan #nazi, rechts-exttremist, of zie ik dat verkeerd?

Vance first visited Dachau and after that promoted the AfD apparently #MSC2025 #Vance #extremeright #AfD
