Mass exodus of natives from Germany but sky-high immigration keeps population rising - "Germany is seeing a growing exodus of its own citizens, with new figures from DeStatis showing that more than 93,000 Germans left the country in the first four months of 2025 alone. That compares with 80,105 departures over the same period in 2024 and 83,109 in 2023, marking a clear year-on-year increase. The trend highlights how net losses of German nationals are accelerating. Since 2005, more Germans have left than returned each year, and 2025 is on track to set a new record. By contrast, mass immigration from abroad continues at high levels, producing an overall positive migration balance but leaving native Germans a steadily shrinking share of the population... As Handelsblatt recently noted, those leaving are often not retirees or students, but people in their prime working years. Federal statistics show that around half of emigrants are between 25 and 49 — the very cohort most needed in the domestic labor market. Academics, entrepreneurs, and skilled workers are disproportionately represented... Her husband Philipp described the German system as “extremely daunting” for anyone trying to innovate... Officially, more than 270,000 Germans emigrated in 2024, compared with around 141,000 in 2010. The figures do not break down motives, but analysts point to recurring themes: frustration with red tape, high tax burdens, concern about political shifts, and a broader desire for personal freedom."
Germany's former top judge under Merkel says overzealous application of human rights laws by ECHR 'endangers the existence of Western democracies' - "Hans-Jürgen Papier, Germany’s former chief justice and one of the country’s most senior legal scholars, has warned that the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) is undermining national sovereignty by creating what he called a “de facto right to immigration through the back door.”... He called for reforms to the ECHR itself, though he admitted this was unlikely given the need for consensus among all 46 Council of Europe states. Instead, he suggested that the EU or national parliaments draft a “precisely formulated law of migration” that would reduce judges’ scope for interpretation and return asylum rights to the original Geneva standards. Among his proposals are electronic asylum visas for those with a realistic chance of success, strict annual ceilings on “subsidiary protection” — a weaker asylum status covering people at risk of violence or hardship — and potential third-country solutions for processing applications abroad. Papier has long been a critic of what he sees as Europe’s open-border approach. In an op-ed for the Bild newspaper in November 2023, he warned that “essentially nothing has changed” since the 2015 migration crisis. He accused Germany of allowing migrants to bypass the Dublin Regulation, which requires asylum seekers to lodge claims in the first EU country they enter, and insisted that Berlin should move “as quickly as possible” to introduce clear and enforceable rules."
This far right extremist needs to be arrested to Protect Democracy
‘Western democracy at risk without asylum reform’ - "The anniversary of the 2015 migration crisis has prompted a glut of analyses examining how well the country has ultimately coped. Most of them have been negative. The employment rate for the 2015 cohort of working-age asylum seekers has now reached 64 per cent, only a few points short of the national average. However, other studies have shown that most German voters are exasperated with the strain on public services and the disproportionate prevalence of first-generation immigrants in violent crime statistics. The radical right-wing and migration-critical Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, which struggled to reach 5 per cent of the vote in the summer of 2015, is now averaging 25 per cent in the polls and jockeying for first place. When Friedrich Merz, the conservative chancellor, was recently asked about Merkel’s mantra, he replied: “Today, ten years later, we know that in the area she meant back then we clearly did not cope.” Influential figures in Merz’s inner circle support an initiative spearheaded by Italy and Denmark to curb the remit of the ECHR and hand greater powers to individual nation states to determine their own asylum policies. Unlike in the UK, the dividing line in German politics is now between those who regard the expansive modern definition of the right to asylum as sacrosanct, and those who want it stripped back to the core principles of the 1951 Geneva refugee convention and the 1953 European Convention on Human Rights. Papier’s opinions on the issue carry significant weight because he was the president of Germany’s constitutional court from 2002-10, at the start of the Merkel era, and has spent more than half a century working on questions of national sovereignty and the legitimacy of democratic institutions. He argued that the current batch of planned reforms to the European Union’s asylum rules, which include measures to harden the bloc’s outer borders and to redistribute migrants between the member states, would fall far short of restoring the public’s faith in the state. Papier, 82, who is now emeritus professor of public law at Ludwig Maximilian University in Munich, said the core of the problem was an “ever deeper reaching and ever more closely meshed agglomeration” of asylum rulings from national courts and the ECHR in Strasbourg. These now seemed to “settle like mildew over the states’ political power to take action”, he said. In Papier’s view, they have widened the right to asylum into a “de facto right to immigration through the back door”... Papier said this predicament was “generally destroying the European citizen’s trust in the capacity of their democratic institutions to act, and so at the end of the day endangering the existence of western democracies”. Particular criticism has focused on judges’ broad interpretations of Articles 3 and 8 of the ECHR, which respectively safeguard the right to freedom from torture or inhuman treatment and the right to family life. In the case of Germany, the courts have sometimes used the “inhuman treatment” clause to block the extradition of asylum seekers to Italy and other EU member states on the basis that they might be in danger of homelessness or having to find work on the black market. “That simply goes too far,” said Papier. “Here human dignity is being treated like small change and thereby robbed of its special dignified status.”"
Council of Europe rejects calls to rein in ECHR - "Alain Berset, the secretary general of the Council of Europe (CoE), which oversees and enforces ECHR rulings, said the court should not be “politicised” or “face political pressure” after nine CoE member states challenged its interpretation of the European Convention on Human Rights... Italy and Denmark urged other European countries to sign a letter criticising the Strasbourg court for tying national lawmakers’ hands with migration issues. The letter said the court was making it difficult to “make political decisions in our own democracies”, according to the EurActiv website, which first obtained a copy. It called for a “new and open-minded conversation” about how the court interprets the convention. The letter was ultimately signed by nine CoE member states, including Austria, Belgium, Czechia, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, and Poland. The court is not an EU body, but part of the larger and older Council of Europe, of which Britain is also a member. All 27 EU member states belong to the 46-state human rights watchdog and are signatories to the convention... Sir Keir Starmer announced plans to limit judges’ powers to block migrant deportations using the convention earlier this month. The Prime Minister has held talks on illegal migration with Giorgia Meloni, Italy’s hard-Right prime minister, and Mette Frederiksen, Denmark’s prime minister, since his election last year. But Sir Keir has ruled out leaving the European Court of Human Rights, having previously said doing so would represent a “betrayal” of Britain’s role in the drafting of the convention. “We will never withdraw from the European Convention on Human Rights. Churchill himself was among the chief architects of the Convention,” he said, speaking at Blenheim Palace in July 2024. On Saturday, a new paper from Policy Exchange questioned the view that the European Convention on Human Rights is a “British legacy”, and disputed claims that leaving the Convention would constitute a “betrayal” of Sir Winston Churchill. The report argues that, while Britain helped draft the convention, its modern form is far removed from the limited safeguard against fascism and communism originally envisioned by the government. The report was backed by Lord Jonathan Sumption, former Supreme Court Justice, and historian Andrew Roberts, Baron Roberts of Belgravia. “Invoking the memory of Churchill to support the ECHR, or to oppose UK withdrawal from it, is either base opportunism or basic historical misunderstanding,” wrote Lord Roberts, author of Churchill: Walking with Destiny. “The historical record matters and the memory of Churchill should not be weaponised for political advantage, not least in service of a cause that he would have viewed as wholly incompatible with parliamentary democracy and the prerogatives of the nation state.”"

Moroccan Man Charged With Using Paris' Eternal Flame to Light Cigarette - "French authorities have arrested a Moroccan man after he allegedly lit a cigarette off a memorial in Paris. The moment at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, which includes an ever-burning flame, under the Arc de Triomphe was caught on video, leading to outrage from French leaders... Like the U.S., France has been riven by internal debate over immigration as hundreds of thousands of migrants have flocked to the country every year over the last decade, with the majority coming from Africa in recent years... The suspect is a 47-year-old Moroccan man who is a legal resident in France, per the New York Times, meaning he could have his legal status revoked if found guilty of violating a burial site."
I saw someone on The French History Podcast on Facebook defending this, claiming that it was a flame so it was reasonable to light a cigarette with it
France to deport Moroccan man for lighting cigarette at memorial - "For the French political left, the government's decision to revoke the residency of a Moroccan man for lighting a cigarette from the eternal flame at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier is less about patriotism and more about racism. The controversy erupted after a video surfaced showing Hamdi Hakim, a 47-year-old homeless Moroccan man, crouching by the eternal flame beneath the Arc de Triomphe on 4 August, and lighting a cigarette before calmly walking away as tourists looked on. The clip, filmed by a Latvian tourist and posted to TikTok, quickly went viral... Right-leaning media outlets were quick to point out that Hakim was known to police, with a reported 21 prior offences, including theft and racial insults... Patricia Mirallès, the minister responsible for Memory and Veterans Affairs, described the incident as "an act of unacceptable indecency," saying the nation's memory could not be "desecrated with impunity." National Assembly deputy Laure Lavalette went further, questioning how someone with such a criminal record had been granted residency in the first place, using the incident to critics what she called failures in France's immigration system. However, for the far-left Lutte Ouvrière ("Workers Fight") party, it was the minister's reaction, not the cigarette, that deserved scrutiny. Nathalie Arthaud, the party's spokesperson, blasted Retailleau as a "racist braggart" and accused him of seizing on a petty act to promote an anti-immigrant agenda. "The Unknown Soldier might well have been Moroccan," she wrote on social media, pointing to the thousands of North African soldiers who fought and died alongside French troops during the world wars. Arthaud also criticised the selective outrage: "They rage over a cigarette, but say nothing about the generals who sent millions to die in 1914," she wrote on X, echoing the sentiments of many others online who saw the incident as symbolic of France's broader denial of its problematic military and colonial past."

Germany is acknowledging the unspeakable - "In spring 2024, Herbert Reul, Interior Minister of Germany’s most populous state(22 million inhabitants), Northern Rhine-Westphalia, said something remarkable: “We have a problem with non-German criminals.” What’s remarkable is not what Reul said but the fact that a centre-right politician from the Christian Democratic Union (CDU) party said it. Nancy Faeser, Germany’s Interior Minister from the centre-left Social Democratic Party (SPD) — which courts voters of non-German ancestry — also said something which would have been branded far-right provocation just a few years ago: “We have to talk about the rise in crime by foreigners”. These statements may sound benign, but they shatter taboos. German politicos and journalists have long suppressed discussions of why certain groups of foreigners are overrepresented in crime statistics; Section 12 of the official German press code even forbids identifying the ethnic ancestry of criminals to combat “discrimination”. Any references to “crime by foreigners” (Ausländerkriminalität) as a distinct problem were met with charges of xenophobia and racism. What has moved the Overton Window is a stream of grim crime statistics published by government agencies or, just as frequently, leaked to journalists. In 2023, according to official statistics, Germany registered 5.5 per cent more crimes than in the previous year. The number of suspects rose 7.3 per cent. 41 per cent were foreigners, an increase of 17.8 per cent. Asylum seekers(a category which excludes Ukrainian refugees)made up 18 per cent of the offenders, an increase of 18 per cent from 2022. There were 214,000 violent crimes, a 15-year high and an increase of 8.6 per cent. Robberies were up 17.4 per cent, knife crimes 9.7 per cent. Homicides were up 2.1 per cent, sex crimes 2.4 per cent. Crimes involving knives nearly tripled between 2020 (10,121 incidents) and 2023 (26,230). An internal analysis leaked to the Welt newspaper showed that knife crimes in Northern Rhine-Westphalia shot up 45 per cent over a recent 12-month interval. Other statistics from that state: in 2023, 80.1 per cent of pickpockets were foreigners, as were 47.6 per cent of shoplifters, 47.3 per cent of burglars, 41.6 per cent of homicide suspects, and 37.1 per cent of suspects in violent sex crimes. The Germany-wide statistics on sexual violence were also sobering. An internal study by the German federal law enforcement agency, leaked to a Zurich newspaper, revealed that asylum-seekers have committed some 7,000 sexual assaults (ranging from groping to gang-rape ) between 2015 and 2023. Although they make up only 2.5 per cent of the population, asylum-seekers made up 13.1 per cent of all sexual-assault suspects in 2021. In 2023, there were 761 gang-rapes registered in Germany — almost two per day; 47.5 per cent of the suspects were foreigners. The frequency of such crimes — which were rare in Germany as late as the 1990s — has hovered between 600 and 800 per year for the past 7 years. The statistics go on for page after mind-numbing (or mind-boggling) page. Berlin’s police chief delivered the upshot: “Bluntly stated, our numbers show that violence in Berlin is young, male, and has a non-German background.” What is straining German law enforcement (and society) is the sheer number of young male asylum-seekers... Most of these men have no German skills, little education (a 2016 study revealed only 34 per cent could read the Latin alphabet), no experience with alcohol, and no experience interacting with women not related to them. They are no longer constrained by their families, and many live jammed into crowded refugee shelters. They can, however, travel freely, and watch pornography on their phones. They soon discover they can buy a bottle of grain liquor (Korn) from any corner shop for €5. With €400 in cash benefits each month, they can afford to indulge. You didn’t have to be an “Islamophobe” or “xenophobe” to see trouble on the horizon. Until recently, however, that’s what you were called if you predicted problems. In the late 2010s, the mainstream German media and political landscape united as one to endorse Chancellor Angela Merkel’s oath that “we can handle” the huge migrant influx (Wir schaffen das). A typical 2016 article in Deutsche Welle entitled “Immigration Reduces Crime” promised to explode the “myths” exploited by “populist rabble-rousers”. Now those “rabble-rousers” include leading politicians. The populist-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party was the only party which opposed Merkel’s open-door policy, which had the effect of tripling its support in mere months. It has now become the second-largest party in Germany as the centre-left fades. On immigration at least, the AfD’s arguments fall on fertile soil: German immigration policies have been far to the left of majority sentiment for years. A 2017 survey by Chatham House, for instance, found 53 per cent of Germans wanted to stop all immigration from Muslim countries. Polls conducted before the recent European elections — in which Germany’s ruling “traffic light” (red-green-yellow) coalition was hammered — showed that Germans’ top concern (74 per cent) was that “crime will increase significantly” (a 22 per cent increase from 2019). 61 per cent feared “Islam will become too strong in Germany” (a 14 per cent increase). In 2017, a poll found 23 per cent of Germans felt “unsafe” in public spaces. By 2024, the figure had nearly doubled to 40 per cent, with 43 per cent of women agreeing. Legendary German midfielder Toni Kroos, a Real Madrid star for the last 10 years, said he lets his teenage daughter roam free in Spain, but would now have doubts about letting her stay out late in a large German city because Germany is “not the same place it was 10 years ago.”... political paralysis and bureaucratic inertia keep current policy frozen in place: In 2023, Germany granted 200,100 people(including 75,000 Syrians) citizenship. Most Germans are frustrated by this chasm between what they want and what their government is willing to do. However, they can only lodge a protest vote for the AfD or a splinter party. The German Constitution essentially bans referendums and even no-confidence votes, and centre-right parties insist they will not collaborate with the AfD(for now). Germans will thus have to wait until September 2025 for national elections, which will likely install a centrist coalition which will be unable or unwilling to adopt major reforms. Meanwhile, alarming crime numbers will keep being published –or leaked. A deep desire for stability is encoded in the DNA of post-war Germany, but the next few years will see it tested to its limit."

French report warns of Islamist 'entryism' as risk to national cohesion - "Islamists are infiltrating France's republican institutions and are a threat to national cohesion, according to a report presented to President Emmanuel Macron on Wednesday. The report, drawn up by two senior civil servants, claims to find evidence for a policy of "entryism" by the Muslim Brotherhood into public bodies like schools and local government... Secularism is a core tenet of France's national identity. According to an Élysée official speaking off the record, there is a "new phenomenon - entryism - which is different from separatism". While separatism implied Muslims living in a parallel society in France, "entryism means getting involved in republican infrastructure… in order to change it from the inside. It requires dissimulation… and it works from the bottom up," the official said. In a copy of the report published in Le Figaro newspaper, the authors identified the Federation of Muslims of France (FMF) as the main French emanation of the historic Muslim Brotherhood, which was founded 100 years ago to promote a return to core Islamic values. They said the FMF controlled 139 places of worship in France, with a further 68 affiliated – in all around 7% of the total. The organisation also ran some 280 associations, in sports, education, charity and other fields, as well as 21 schools. The aim of the movement was to set up "ecosystems at local level" to "structure the lives of Muslims from birth till death". "[The movement's] officials, who are hardened activists, enter into a relationship with the local authority… Social norms – the veil, beards, dress, fasting - are gradually imposed as the ecosystem solidifies," the authors write. "What happens is that religious practice become stricter, with a high level of girls wearing the abaya (long robe) and a massive and visible increase in the number of young girls wearing Islamic headscarves. Some are as young as five or six."... The report's authors, who visited 10 different regions of France and four other European countries, concluded that the Muslim Brotherhood was losing influence in the Middle East and North Africa, and so was targeting Europe, backed by money from Turkey and Qatar."
Damn racism, xenophobia and Islamophobia! Dual loyalty is a far right conspiracy theory and misinformation!
Man Who Killed French Doctor ‘For Allah’ Ruled Not Criminally Responsible - "Just three years ago, in Marseille, a young 40-year-old military doctor, Alban Gervaise, was brutally murdered by Mohammed—“in the name of Allah”—in front of his children’s school. There was no minute of silence or national tribute for him. His widow has just learned with horror that her husband’s murderer will not be tried because he has been deemed “mentally unfit to stand trial.”... The brutal murder of Alban Gervaise did not interest the media. A few rare media outlets reported the death of this man “wounded in the throat”—they preferred not to mention that his throat had been slit. A Catholic, a soldier, a husband, and a father, Alban Gervaise was not entitled to a public tribute. The military claimed that his wife had refused to publicise the case, which she vehemently denied. But the public silence surrounding the case suited many people. For Alban’s military friends, “this media silence is a second death.” As in so many other similar cases, the psychiatric assessment of the suspect, 23-year-old Mohammed L., concluded that he was ‘completely incapable of discernment.’ From the outset, Christelle Gervaise, the doctor’s wife, was alarmed by the conditions under which the psychiatric assessment was carried out. “It is based on what the defendant says. I cannot accept that an expert report is not based on facts,” she explains, pointing out that there is no reference to the investigation file in the psychiatric report. Very quickly, the terrorist dimension of the act was ruled out, much to the dismay of Alban Gervaise’s family and friends. “If the savage murder of my colleague, as a person, was the result of chance, I remain convinced that the choice of targeting a Catholic school to find a victim was certainly not due to chance,” a retired doctor from Laveran Military Hospital told the weekly magazine Marianne, whose view is widely shared. “There was clearly a desire to punish, to kill, to sacrifice a Christian! This has the same value as if it had happened in a church or in front of a school of another faith! To my knowledge, all the previous incidents have been classified as terrorist acts. Their impact at national and media level has been quite different.”... Since the murder, Mohammed L. has been imprisoned and then transferred to a psychiatric hospital. He was then taken to a unit for less dangerous individuals, according to Le Figaro. Two psychiatric experts will have to approve his possible release—a moment that Christelle Gervaise dreads more than anything, because she knows that he could be out in a very short time and potentially re-offend. She will not be informed of his potential release and could meet the man in the street one day or another. She has published a poignant testimony in which she asks that one day, at least, the French state will ask for forgiveness"
