German left-wing politicians justify violence in Leipzig

German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier has not yet condemned the left-wing extremist excesses of violence in Leipzig in which police officers were injured in battles against the “autonomist” Antifa sympathizers. And he is not the only politician supporting the extremists.

It has become crystal clear what is important to Steinmeier: During the recent so-called “the storming of the Reichstag” on September 29 – with no damage, no injuries, no criminal offenses – the occupant in Bellevue Palace saw the “heart of democracy” threatened.

On that day, hundreds of anti-Corona-lockdown activists, some waving the black, white and red flag of the pre-1918 German Empire, broke through a police barrier and tried to force their way into the seat of the German government during a protest.

It has become clear that the country’s current leaders have long considered such virtues as honesty and character superfluous.

During the evacuation of an occupied house in Leipzig last week and the subsequent protests and riots, the Twitter account of the member of the state parliament and city councilor Juliane Nagel, has been edifying. The left-wing politician constantly shared information, assessments and appeals about the riots in the Connewitz district and in the Oststadt over the past few days.

In fact, Nagel’s account was a hub for the radical left-wing Twitter network. She not only retweeted entries from left-wing radical accounts, she also played down crimes and violence: “I am happy about the social practice of squatting in Leipzig. It’s about affordable rents, freedom and resistance to speculative vacancies,” she wrote on Friday.

When a Leipzig member of the Bundestag for the Greens pointed out that violence was not a solution, Nagel replied: “Where should the justified anger about the lack of fundamental changes go?”

This “justified anger” was directed at police officers in the form of bottles and stones on Friday evening. The result: eight police officers injured and several vehicles destroyed, including six police cars.

Nagel also parroted fashionable BLM slogans in broken, faulty English: “Connewitzer Kreuz is save [sic] space for everyone who needs it,” wrote Nagel the next day. Police officers were apparently not included in her definition of “everyone”.

Nagel is directly linked to the radical left scene. Two years ago, her office premises were searched during an investigation into the G20 riots in Hamburg. The police found a “wanted poster” in the style of the RAF on which politicians and several police officers were depicted as terrorists.

In July she caused a sensation with the demand that the city of Leipzig promote graffiti that is hostile to the police. After the brutal attacks by left-wing extremists on police officers on New Year’s Eve 2020, she blamed the officers and not the perpetrators.

The Green City Councilor Jürgen Kasek was similarly active on Twitter. On Friday he spread the squatter’s appeal and on Saturday evening around 500 left-wing radicals battled with the police.

Saxony’s Interior Minister Roland Wöller (CDU) admitted to public broadcaster ZDF that “left-wing extremism has become entrenched in Leipzig – that is a problem”. There have already been repeated attacks on the police, AfD, construction and real estate companies.

Germany: Iranian Turkish wedding convoy sits on the roofs of cars while driving on the highway

The Cologne police stopped a wedding convoy using several police cars last Friday afternoon on the federal highway 4 at the Kerpen intersection. After informing the public prosecutor’s office, the police confiscated the driving licenses of five drivers (24, 26, 26, 27, 29 y/o) of the Iranian-Kurdish wedding party at the Elsdorf junction. According to testimonies, occupants of the cars on the highway are said to have leaned out of the windows and sat on the roof while the car was being driven. In addition, the men are said to have jointly slowed down the traffic in the direction of Aachen to about 60 km/h and to have overtaken each other at risk. For the trip to the wedding celebration, the five drivers of the motorcade sat in the passenger seat.

Refugee policy spokeswoman for the German Green Party does not want to talk about misogyny among Muslims

In an interview, Bettina Jarasch, spokeswoman for refugee and religious policy of the Berlin Green Party, tried to square the circle: she did not want to deviate at any price from her Islamophilic, unrealistically ideologized view of refugees – and tried to avoid the accusations of two Green party members who had criticized the misogynistic world view of many immigrants and blamed her Green party of ignorance in this regard.

Jarasch, a do-gooder through and through and, in a way, the cliché of a Green advocate of Islam, seems like a caricature of herself. Who doubts whether there are really people who deny the problems caused by political Islam and the backward state of society in traditionalist countries of origin of many refugees coming to this country: With this Green person they will learn the opposite. Under the motto that “nothing can happen that is not allowed to happen”, Jarasch closes her eyes to any unpleasant confrontation with reality – and practises whataboutism of the most embarrassing kind.Confronted with concrete cases of sexual and domestic violence against women in immigrant families, their chauvinistic upbringing and the macho culture that is particularly prevalent in Arab culture, Jarasch had used phrases such as “Muslims should never be condemned in general” in the newspaper interview in question, published in the “Tagesspiegel” (TS).And she countered the argument that many refugees came from cultures in which “women are considered to be of subordinate importance” by saying that in Germany, too, “patriarchy has not yet been completely overcome” and that “in this matter German men are not blameless.Such arguments show blindness at its highest, in a clearly pathological form.In response to the TS interview with the unconvincable Jarasch, the sparks apparently flew in the party.

Fewer and fewer Greens are apparently willing to accept the denial of reality by hard-line ideologues in their own ranks. Walter Otte, chairman of the group of the “Secular Greens” (a green “fringe group” that takes a relatively critical stance towards Islam), explained to the TS: “There are clear problems due to an upbringing background, there is a cultural macho culture, you have to deal with that. If these problems are not clearly mentioned, the AfD will be given a point of attack. One should not try to dismiss the problem.Likewise, Otto’s predecessor at the party group, the Green Party member Jürgen Roth, sharply attacked Jarasch: “Such an uncritical approach – also of orthodox-reactionary excesses – will almost inevitably result in the conclusion that we are dealing exclusively with a growing conflict between Islam and the majority society”. There is no point in suppressing everything unpleasant in order to justify the false conclusion that nothing has anything to do with Islam.
