The German public is growing resentful that migrants have more rights to benefits than Germans who have worked their whole life, said German Interior Minister for the state of Saaraland Klaus Bouillon in a revealing interview with Die Welt.

“There is great discontent among the population because everyone who arrives here immediately has many or even more rights along with rights to benefits and medical care than someone who has worked here for their entire life,” said Bouillon.

In regard to taking in accepting more migrants, Boullion believes Germans have less and less tolerance for new arrivals. Germany has already recorded a record number of foreigners in 2019 and some German state parliaments have voted to stop accepting more migrants in a sign of growing public weariness over the massive demographic changes taking place in the country.

“The willingness and acceptance in the country to accept people has decreased. We probably would not be able to activate enough volunteers anymore. In addition, our absorption capacity is a big problem,” the interior minister said.

Boullion, a member of the Christian Democratic Union (CDU), says that the frustrations over the migrant situation in the country have made their way into everyday conversations as well.

“There is great resentment and frustration, which I hear in conversation every day. Basic amounts of benefits are established by law. Even if someone throws away their passport and does not cooperate with the authorities, their benefits can be reduced only minimally,” he noted.

Polling seems to support Boullion’s viewpoint as well. For example, last year, a poll of 27 European Union countries found that in Germany, 48 percent of Germans said they were opposed to the country taking in more non-EU migrants while 44 percent continued to support this type of migration.

‘We have people who come back four, five, six times after we have deported them’

The city of Lebach is one of the main destinations for migrants in Saarland, which is located in the Western part of Germany near the French border. Boullion says that over time the countries of origin for migrants have changed, and many of them are no longer entitled to protection status or have already registered as refugees in other European countries, which would make them ineligible to stay in Germany.

“In addition, half of those arriving at the moment have lost their passport or suddenly forgotten their name and country of origin,” said Boullion.

The interior minister also said that reception center in Lebach continuously fills up because 50 percent of deportations fail. He noted cases when families are set for deportations, suddenly the child that is meant to be deported with them can no longer be found. In many cases, those who are deported simply come back.

“We have people who come back four, five, six times after we have deported them to the EU country where they were first registered,” he said. “You simply come back from Belgium with the FlixBus. Then the whole process starts all over again. At least 100,000 people in Germany are finally rejected, but we simply cannot get them back to their home countries.”

Boullion believes that certain loopholes can be quickly closed in the asylum law. Currently, family members can apply for asylum one after another upon being rejected. For example, a mother can first apply, and if she is rejected, the father can then apply, and then a child, and so on. Under the process, each family member’s case can take months until the next one is started anew.

In the meantime, the whole migrant family can remain in Germany. The interior minister believes that an application should be made for the whole family at once to hasten the process.

In Germany, the Green Party is pushing to dissolve the reception center in Lebach and to disperse the migrants across the state of Saarland to individual municipalities. Boullion argues that it is not only against the law, but that Lebach offers a kindergarten, doctors, integration courses, violence prevention, and schools all in one place. Authorities can also process registrations for faster in one centralized location.

The interior minister accused the Greens of having a lot of “dreamers” in their party who want to invite more migrants to Germany. Many top Green Party politicians have advocated for Germany to accept more migrants, including during the recent migrant crisis this year when Turkey opened its border to the Europe resulting in thousands of migrants trying to enter through Greece.

There are also currently those in the CDU party who are advocating migrant quotas, such as Prime Minister of Schleswig-Holstein Daniel Günther. Boullion says that such proposals will only encourage more migration to Germany.

The first death threat to Éric Zemmour dates back to June 7, 2012, when a letter arrived to RTL radio, his employer, on rue Bayard in the Eighth arrondissement of Paris. Zemmour is called “SS in freedom” and the letter’s authors announced that they want to physically attack the journalist and his family.

The latest threat two weeks ago also prompted French President Emmanuel Macron to express solidarity with him. And “Paris. France 2020. This woman railed against Zemmour in the name of ‘Vive Islam! Vive Allah’. It’s ridiculous, I don’t accept it. I refuse to get used to it,” said lawyer Gilles-William Goldnadel in a video.

This anti-immigration and anti-system journalist of Le Figaro, the most critical of integration and the banlieue, was walking on the streets of Paris when a woman approached him shouting “Éric Zemmour! Long live Islam! Long live Allah! Long live Muhammad!”. It is the second episode in two weeks.

The first was on May 1. Zemmour had always been attacked and insulted in Paris while shopping. “Son of a b***! F*** your mother!”, an Arab yelled at him. The video, which went viral, caused a wave of indignation from politicians on all sides.

Last November, Zemmour was called a “Zionist bastard” in front of the Cnews headquarters during a demonstration. A rally called “Stop Zemmour” had been called to take place before the doors of the broadcaster who enlisted the right-wing polemicist. The co-founder of the Coordination against Racism and Islamophobia, Abedelaziz Chaambi, took the stage and called Zemmour a “Zionist bastard”, “virus” and “disgusting beast”.

A few days later, during the great “march against Islamophobia” at the Place de la République, a speaker on the stage harangued the crowd: “If you don’t like Zemmour, clap your hands!”

The journalist has so far escaped the worst. But until when? “If this story could open the eyes to all those who, by dehumanizing their opponents, hang targets on their back…,” wrote Céline Pina in Le Figaro. And Zemmour is certainly not alone.

A year ago, the Jewish philosopher Alain Finkielkraut was threatened with death and addressed by a Salafist during a demonstration of the yellow vests. Finkielkraut himself would later confess: “I’m afraid to walk in the street.”

The author of the attack on Zemmour, Mehdi K., calls himself “haram”, forbidden. Rappers hate Zemmour. And Youssoupha declaims: “Who will silence this stupid Zemmour”?

His friend, the journalist Eric Naulleau, is worried: “One day, there will be a drama”. Even Zemmour’s father thinks about it: “They will kill him.”

Welcome to Europe. They call it “multiculturalism.”

A massive resistance against federal police officers employed last Thursday, around 6 pm, the officers of the federal police station in Gießen. Two officers were injured during the operation.

The reason was a 30-year-old man who had been spotted without a valid ticket while checking tickets on a train from Frankfurt to Gießen. The man, a 30-year-old asylum seeker from Libya, was extremely violent right from the start and attacked the officers massively with kicks and punches. On platform 2 he even tried to push a female officer into the track. Alcohol and drug consumption were not involved in this case. The Kassel Federal Police Inspectorate has initiated criminal proceedings against the man, among other things for resisting police officers. The Libyan is to be brought before the arresting judge today. Until then he will remain in the custody of the federal police. In Saxony, the asylum seeker has already been charged several times with such acts of violence.

In Peine, a policewoman had to move out of her apartment because she was threatened by members of the Al-Zein-Clan. It is probably not the first time that police officers have been intimidated by this group.

The policewoman gave in to the pressure of the clan members. She was threatened, the tires of her car were slashed and in addition, according to the newspaper “Bild”, clan members scratched the paint on her car and damaged her father’s car. Therefore she was now transferred to Salzgitter.

The reason for the threats and attacks is said to have been the fact that the policewoman had moved into Peine above a bar popular with the clan. This apparently could not be reconciled with the clan relations. It was not the first time that the local police had been intimidated. “The local police are extremely intimidated. Officers are photographed during patrols and in civilian police cars”, the tabloid “Bild” quotes an police officer as saying.

A 21-year-old Iranian migrant bit an Austrian police officer inside a detention cell in Vienna on Sunday right after police tried to come to his aid.

According to police spokesman Markus Dittrich, the young man began raging inside his holding cell and tore off his T-shirt. After wrapping the scraps of his torn T-shirt around his neck, he passed out inside his cell.

The police came inside his cell to aid him, when he sprang up and attacked them, according to Kronen Zeitung. The Iranian migrant then bit one of the officers on his back before officers managed to subdue him a violent struggle. The officer required hospital treatment for the bite wound.

The Iranian was originally arrested for undisclosed administrative offenses.

Police have not been the only victims of rising migrant crimes. Some experts pointed to Afghanistan migrants as particularly troublesome given the background of their country.

The New York Times also wrote in the lead up to 2016’s presidential elections in Austria that migrant crimes were starkly dividing the country. According to the Times:

By any measure, the string of crimes has been terrible. A grandmother of three, walking her dog, raped along a riverbank. A 10-year-old boy sexually assaulted at a public swimming pool. A 21-year-old student gang raped near the giant Ferris wheel at Vienna’s famed Prater park. A 54-year-old woman beaten to death on the street.

The fact that the crimes were committed by recent migrants from war zones and an immigrant who had lived illegally in the country for years added an especially volatile element to the political climate ahead of the presidential election.

That same year also saw nine Iraqi migrants were also arrested for the gang rape of a 28-year-old German woman in Vienna on New Year’s Day.

Neighboring Germany has also seen a dramatic rise in the proportion of migrant crimes, including attacks on police officers.

In March 2019, it became known that the North Rhine Westphalian Office for the Protection of the Constitution was monitoring the Khaled Mosque, which belongs to the Islamic Cultural Association Bochum (IKV). This was triggered by published research on the association’s relations to persons from the network of the Muslim Brotherhood. On Sunday, the Christian Democratic Union (CDU) of Bochum wished the Muslims a happy breaking of the fast – and praised the new mosque of the IKV in particular as ” bringing people together”. The message of greeting is also a rejection of the Office for the Protection of the Constitution. Normally, democratic parties distance themselves from associations that are monitored by the Office for the Protection of the Constitution.

“Innovative, environmentally friendly & connecting. Thanks to an initiative of the Islamic Cultural Association Bochum e.V., a mosque with the character of an intercultural meeting place is to be built on Castroper Street. A real benefit for Bochum. We wish all Muslims a happy breaking of the fast: Eid Mubarak!” With these words the CDU Bochum addressed the Muslims of the city on its Facebook page on Sunday. “Our wealth is called diversity. We are looking forward to the Green Mosque Ruhr”, was the title of the graphic attached to the text.

However, this message was probably not directed at moderate or secular Muslims. For only in March 2019 major media had reported that the North Rhine-Westphalian Office for the Protection of the Constitution was closely observing the Khaled Mosque, which belongs to the Islamic Cultural Association Bochum (IKV). “Personnel and structural connections of the association to extremism are being investigated as part of the legal mandate of the Office for the Protection of the Constitution. Thus, the Islamic Cultural Association is also monitored as a contact point for persons with links to possible Islamist activities.

In addition to Salafist activities, this includes above all activities from the spectrum of the Muslim Brotherhood,” was the title of a report by Herbert Reul (CDU), the Interior Minister of North Rhine-Westphalia, to the Interior Commission of the state parliament. “These measures ensure that the Office for the Protection of the Constitution of North Rhine-Westphalia keeps an eye on further developments regarding young people and refugees, also in connection with the Khaled Mosque,” Reul added in a response to a parliamentary question of the AfD parliamentary group.

About two months later, on the 13th of May 2019, Ahmad Aweimer, spokesperson of the IKV and representative for communication of the Central Council of Muslims (ZMD), described the author in the student monthly newspaper “akduell” as the “central trigger for the accusations”. This might have meant an article published here on the 10th of February 2019 and a press release sent out on the same day. It was about the fact that in the Khaled Mosque two long-standing and pertinently known actors from the network of the Muslim Brotherhood have appeared as lecturers.

The activities of IKV imam Hedi Brik also suggest such a direction. The author recently proved that the community imam not only occasionally meets invited members of the Muslim Brotherhood’s network but has also been working with them in various ways for a long time and is obviously welcomed by them as one of their own. Involvement and activities of the Community Imam indicate that the extremist connections of the IKV go much deeper than was known in 2019 and that the ideological orientation of the community has not changed since then.

The greeting message of the CDU Bochum on Sunday also represents a rejection of the Office for the Protection of the Constitution – and of course also of the CDU Minister of the Interior. Normally, democratic parties distance themselves from associations that are monitored by the Verfassungsschutz. The fact that the CDU Bochum knows nothing about the monitoring of the IKV is hardly likely, according to the media coverage. In this case, a democratic party is in fact ignoring the Office for the Protection of the Constitution. This is probably an unprecedented occurrence.

This is an article by political blogger, Jose Atento, who is a watcher of all things in the Portuguese speaking world. In this case, the extraordinarily democratic words of Brazilian president, Jair Bolsonaro, and the threat he faces from other branches of the legislature. 

Last time, I reported how the Brazilian Establishment was doing everything possible to overthrow Brazil’s president Jair Bolsonaro. At that time I mentioned the incident created by the early departure of Justice Minister Sergio Moro. Moro became a Brazilian national hero as the judge who led Operation Car Wash that put jailed powerful politicians and entrepreneurs, including former president Lula. Bolsonaro invited him to be his justice minster because Moro represented one of his causes: the fight against corruption.

Some pointed out that even though he was aligned with the fight against corruption, Moro was against some of Bolsonaro’s other positions. Contrary to Bolsonaro, Moro was in favor of abortion and in favor of disarming the population.

Let us jump to the present and the COVID-19 crisis. The Supreme Court, mostly composed of judges appointed during the 16 years of socialist rule, decided that the guidance, administration and control of how to tackle the pandemic was the responsibility of the state governors. One may argue that was correct, since public health is prerogative of states and municipalities, but, in practice, that made the federal government like the “Queen of England” whose only duty was to print money. Nonetheless, Bolsonaro made his opinion heard loud and clear, that, based on the Brazilian reality, where most of the population eat based on the money they make every day, the best approach would be a vertical lockdown of those in higher-risk groups (the elderly and those with health conditions); otherwise, the social consequences of the lockdown would be huge.

Some states, particularly those governed by the socialist Labour Party (PT) and the state of Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo, whose governors are pre-candidates for the 2022 presidential election, opted to force a full lockdown upon the population, calling it “social distancing.” Here comes the newspeak: everything was closed, and everyone told to stay at home, but it was not a lockdown. God knows what a lockdown would mean to them. At the same time, they began to bombard Bolsonaro with all sort of accusations, such as that he was anti-science, and the mainstream Brazilian media (that includes the newly created CNN-Brazil) blamed Bolsonaro for everything, even though his power had been removed by the Supreme Court.

Probably, the most outrageous of all was the way state and municipal police forces began to treat citizens who allegedly “disrespected social distancing” even if they were alone in an empty space. The brutality of a police-state became visible in videos that flooded social media (but not mainstream media) where working men, the elderly and women, even in bikinis, were brutally handcuffed and arrested. Meanwhile, governors are releasing criminals from jail, even drug-trafficking leaders and unrepentant rapists.

During this time of crisis, Justice Minister Moro resigned, claiming Bolsonaro was trying to interfere with the work of the Federal Police, even attempting to change some of its directors. Vague as this accusation was, as it is a constitutional prerogative of the president to appoint people to senior positions, the Establishment began to ask for Bolsonaro’s impeachment. Moro claimed that the content discussed during the last ministerial meeting would prove that. the Supreme Court opened an investigation based on Moro’s accusation, and requested the tape of the meeting.

Normally, Ministerial meetings are recorded, portions of them are kept, and the tape is destroyed. But in this case, Bolsonaro ordered the tape not to be destroyed, and handed the tape, unchanged, to the Supreme Court for analysis. To the surprise of many, one of the Supreme Court judges made the tape public last Thursday, just erasing the mention to one country, obviously China. This unprecedented action was an attempt to hurt Bolsonaro. It backfired.

The tape not only vindicated Bolsonaro against Moro’s accusations, but it was very good for Bolsonaro, as it showed him defending the positions that led to his election. It showed that Bolsonaro is the same person in public and in private. Indeed, character is what you do when no one is looking.

In the tape he complains to his ministers that he wants them to defend his positions: family, God, Brazil, guns, freedom of speech and the free market. And if any minister is not happy with that, they can leave the government.

Well, that is what Moro did a few days later, trying to create a crisis. He failed.

This tape is so powerful and so positive for Bolsonaro, that left-wing parties now are asking for its distribution to be censored.

Too late.
