Only four days left until the local elections in North Rhine-Westphalia. But now a grave suspicion is causing consternation in the Ruhr area: Selgün Calisir, candidate from Duisburg, is said to have bought votes! The case is now even attracting the attention of the public prosecutor’s office in Duisburg.
In the district of Marxloh one knows Selgün Calisir (Turkish spelling: Çalışır; note). The candidate for the union of the migrant parties “Alliance for Innovation and Justice” (short BIG) and DERGAH is a businessman for decades, runs a wage tax and travel agency.
Now an audio recording is on the Internet, in which the man with a Turkish migration background is supposed to hold a conversation.
In it one hears how he is supposed to offer a man money for postal votes in Turkish. Therein one says: “There is no upper limit. You told me that you wanted to bring 4000. I told you that I would give 10,000. For 2000 I will give you 5000. If you find 5000, you get 12 500. I want to change certain things in Marxloh. Money is not important. It’s an open and clear offer.”
Explosive: According to its own description, the BIG party sees itself as a representative of the interests of migrants, especially Muslims. BUT: For years it has been accused of being an offshoot of the Erdogan Party AKP in Germany – this is indicated by some connections of party functionaries, who however vehemently resist the accusation. But where Calisir gets the money to finance his election remains questionable.
The talk is allegedly of votes to be cast by postal vote. According to an insider, Calisir is talking to a man from Eastern Europe, who is supposed to mobilize his fellow countrymen who are eligible to vote for Calisir.
According to the public prosecutor’s office, there have even been searches in connection with the video. The suspicion: election fraud! On Wednesday morning, Selgün Calisir’s business and residential premises are said to have already been searched.Duisburg public prosecutor’s office: “Extensive evidence was seized during the search. This includes a high double-digit number of election documents, which must now be evaluated. These documents must also be checked for forgery characteristics”. The election administration has already been informed.
A further accused who is running for a second party in the election is also being investigated.
And what does the municipal authorities say? A spokeswoman: “We were informed by the police this morning that investigations into election fraud have been initiated. We are in close contact with the investigating authorities and are supporting them in this.”
Selgün Calisir could not be reached for a statement. The BIG party announced a press conference for Thursday.
Barbara R. from Matzen looked after a refugee family from Syria in cooperation with an association on a voluntary basis for three years. Over time, her commitment turned into frustration.
“Maybe I had too high expectations. I hoped that success would come more quickly. Today I must say that these people are not becoming Europeans,” R. describes her impressions.The family with parents and nine children aged three to 19 years came from Syria via Lebanon to Austria. The youngest child was ill and was undergoing surgery in Vienna.
“They had already undergone an odyssey. Their house had been hit by a bomb,” remembers R.
In their new home, the children studied intensively three days a week – German and mathematics. A Syrian who had fled to Austria when he was seven years old served as an interpreter. The family’s willingness to integrate was only marginal.” They probably did not want to mingle with the local population,” reasoned R. and gave an example.
“We invited them to a concert by the music group Erdklang. After a few pieces of music, the family left as a family. Whether it was because of the music or the basic attitude, R. never found out.
The family also went shopping exclusively in Syrian stores, for which they went to Vienna especially. The father would have been organized to work as a driver for the charity Lebenshilfe. But he refused to do so, on the justification that he did not know German well enough.
Until 2019 the family lived in Gänserndorf, then they all moved to Vienna. The contact broke off except for a few SMS messages – in Arabic. R. learned that the two eldest sons are already married – to Syrian women, and they already have children.
She does not know if and what they work. “The small children had an excellent learning experience. With the adults everything was much more difficult,” R. concludes.

German authorities did not attempt to deport the later Berlin highway attacker. According to EU Dublin regulations, Finland would have been responsible for dealing with the Iraqi’s asylum application. Germany would have had six months time to send him back there. However, according to information from the news agency dpa, the authorities did not apply for this.
In mid-August, the Iraqi asylum seeker Sarmad A. had hit two motorcyclists with his Opel car on the Berlin A100 urban highway, colliding with other cars. Six people were injured, three of them seriously. According to the Berlin General Prosecutor’s Office, he only came to a halt when he pressed a motorcycle against another car.Afterwards he got out and put an old ammunition box on the roof of the vehicle and threatened in Arabic that “everyone would die”. In addition, the immigrant is said to have shouted “Allahu akbar!” several times and to have had a kitchen knife and a prayer rug with him. The man, who is now in a psychiatric hospital, is under investigation for attempted murder.Sarmad A. had arrived in Finland in 2015 and applied for asylum there, the dpa wrote. This application was rejected in early 2016. In March of the same year he came to Germany, where he tried again to obtain asylum status. He was denied this in August 2017.However, he was not deported to Iraq or Finland, but was granted a residence permit. Berlin’s Senator of the Interior Andreas Geisel ( Social Democratic Party) justified this three weeks ago in the Berlin House of Representatives that Germany currently “does not deport to Iraq as a matter of principle, because it is a state at civil war”. Exceptions are “the most serious perpetrators of violence, murderers, rapists, persons who have committed the most serious bodily harm, terrorists; all these were findings that were previously unknown to this perpetrator”.According to the Attorney General’s Office, Sarmad A. had had contact with a dangerous Islamist in a Berlin asylum center between 2018 and 2019. Referring to the Iraqi’s Facebook page, the tabloid Bild reported that he had regularly been known to make Islamist remarks since 2019.

Witnesses are called by the police regarding the damage and destruction of a newly erected field cross, which was erected by a private person on his own meadow property in the area of Hummerstalhalde above the state road 277 between Tuttlingen and Nendingen. After unknown suspects damaged the wooden cross with a sawing tool already on the weekend of August 21, 2020 to August 23, 2020, the base of the field cross was cut at the lower end of the cross during the night of Monday, August 31, 2020, and then overturned with the help of a motor vehicle and irreparably destroyed. The construction costs for the field cross amounted to about 10,000 Euros.

Under the guise of “secularism”, the Mayor of the French city of Lyon Grégory Doucet did not attend the traditional ceremony of the Vow of the Aldermen dating back to 1643.
His “secular” inconsistency was once again exposed in broad daylight on Tuesday, September 8. The EELV member of Lyon Doucet, under cover of “secularism”, refused to attend the ceremony of the Vow of the Aldermen, an old Catholic tradition but still popular dating back to 1643.
He thus became the first mayor from Lyon in decades to miss this major event in Rhone’s cultural calendar. Surprisingly, however, the very next day, the city councilor laid the first stone of the Gerland mosque.
And Grégory Doucet even boasted about his presence at this decidedly non-secular event. On Twitter, he posted a photo of himself, trowel in hand, with the message: “Freedom of conscience should not suffer any more attacks. Public authority has the duty to protect the faithful who want to practice their religion, just as it must protect those who do not want to practice. Or who do not want to believe.”
On Tuesday September 8, the ecological mayor had explained that he did not wish to participate directly in the Catholic ceremony of the Vow of the Aldermen because of the “interpretation” that he had of “the rules of secularism”.
Possibly realizing his misstep, he then tempered his remarks by declaring that he would nevertheless speak at the end of the ceremony, to mark the importance of “dialogue with each religious community”.
This news had obviously delighted his majority, in particular his assistant for Culture Nathalie Perrin-Gilbert, who had always expressed her opposition to this tradition. The president of the Métropole de Lyon Bruno Bernard had also announced that he would not be present.
For the Vow of the Aldermen, celebrated every September, the mayor of Lyon presents a symbolic shield to the city’s archbishop during a ceremony at the Fourvière basilica, where many elected officials from all sides usually gather. The basilica is listed as a historical monument, registered to the UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is considered as the emblem of the city of Lyon, and welcomes over 2,5 million pilgrims and visitors each year.
This particular tradition dates back to March 12, 1643 when, to ward off the plague, the Aldermen had vowed to erect two statues to the Virgin and to climb the hill of Fourvière each year to offer the sanctuary, during a mass, a golden shield and seven pounds of white wax.
The annual pilgrimage was made until 1789 when it was abolished. But it again became an official practice and a custom at the end of World War II.

Matteo Salvini, leader of the Italian opposition League party, was assaulted by an Congolese woman at a campaign event in Tuscany on Wednesday, with the woman tearing his shirt and breaking his rosary
Salvini was in the area campaigning for his party due to regional elections that will be held on Sept. 20-21.
Italian parties, without exception, condemned what happened, however, the police are being criticized for their handling of the situation.
Salvini was campaigning on the streets of Pontassieve, near Florence, where video shows the woman pulling and then tearing off the shirt of the anti-immigration politician and then subsequently tearing off the rosary worn around his neck.
The assailant, who is believed to be a 29-year-old migrant woman from the Congo, shouted in Italian, “I curse you” before police remove the woman.
According to Italian sources, she lives and works in Italy with a residence permit. A police official told the Italian ANSA news agency she was in a “disturbed state”, and instead of arresting her, they issued her a caution. The police claim that her actions did not appear “premeditated” as she was walking home from work when she randomly found herself walking next to Salvini.
The Directorate for Counter-Terrorism Investigation (Digos) has launched an investigation to clarify what happened in Pontassieve.
Salvini later said on social media that he had not been harmed.
“I have no anger, no desire for revenge, just sadness,” he wrote.
The incident was condemned by all major parties. Giorgia Meloni, president of the right-wing Brothers of Italy (FdI), pointed at the ruling parties, saying she believed that those responsible should be found among those who portray their political rivals as enemies. Luigi Di Maio, a leading politician of the ruling party of the Five Star Movement (M5S), also called the events unacceptable and expressed solidarity with Salvini.
Elections will be held in seven Italian regions on Sept. 20-21. In Tuscany, which has been led by the left for fifty years, the League and the Democratic Party of the Left (PD) candidate for the presidency of the region are head-to-head in the polls.
In 29 days, Salvini’s trial will begin for alleged “kidnapping”, charges that are tied to his refusal to allow migrants to disembark from a migrant NGO rescue ship on to Italian soil.
