A migrant in the French city of Caen beat his ex-girlfriend just a few weeks after being released from prison for beating her over a year ago, but this time it was over a “vulgar” photograph he saw of her in a skirt.
The migrant, who is already under a deportation order, was originally sentenced in 2023 for assaulting his ex-girlfriend. Now, he has been convicted in a new trial, on Aug. 23, 2024, involving the same victim.
According to prosecutors, the man saw a photo of his ex wearing a skirt, and despite the photo predating their relationship together, he reportedly found the outfit “vulgar.” In response, he slapped her and threw a phone at her head, causing a hematoma on her temple which left her unable to work for two days, according to French news outlet Ouest France.
Afterward, he delivered threats to the woman, telling her: “I’m going to kill you.”
In court, he said, “I want to educate my child. When she told me that she was going to find him another dad, I slapped her.”
The victim was not in court, as she was “in a disturbed psychological state,” said her lawyer.
The man was sentenced to two years in prison and is once again banned from French territory for five years, as well as from having any contact with the victim. He has also lost all parental authority due to the case.
In France, sharia is taking over and the bienpensants don’t care
After months of pressure and the latest altercation in his bakery in Vénissieux (Lyon), Alexandre Dallery announced on Friday that the boulangerie would stop selling pork products.
Le Parisien tells us that one of Dallery’s sales assistants directed two customers towards a bacon quiche. Several minutes later, the two men returned “furiously” and “violently” to the boulangerie after discovering the presence of pork in their meal. To avoid further mistakes, the owner of the bakery therefore decided to continue his business without the ham. In a comment posted on Facebook, Dallery spoke of “several pressures over several months to make it halal”. “They wanted to burn everything, break everything”, Dallery wrote. “To calm things down, we no longer sell ham. Otherwise they’ll burn everything”.
The announcement from the bakery is chilling, but we are in Lyon, the third largest city in France where Muslims make up 30 percent of the population. Who can blame Dallery, the dhimmi baker?
In Vaulx-en-Velin, also in Lyon, even non-Muslim students confess to Europe 1 that they feel the pressure of Sharia to veil themselves.
And they are succeeding in making France halal, piece by piece.
This bakery is not the first to succumb to Islamist attacks.
Last March, in Paris, an Algerian restaurateur stopped selling alcohol following a raid organized by Muslims who adhere to Koranic prohibitions. In Quimper, a French butcher’s shop closed following several attacks. The restaurant reopened two years later, taken over by a new family, but now offers 100 percent halal meat…
The boulangerie tells us that we are faced with a clear and unmistakable manifestation of jihad: conquest of the territories of the “unbelievers” by Muslims. By hook or by crook, the country of secularism, of the Enlightenment, of Voltaire and of equality is becoming a little more compatible with sharia every day. Meanwhile, most of the media turns a blind eye, or rather two. This denial of reality is such that it borders on complicity.
In the historic center of Bordeaux, an Afghan in a djellaba stabs two people, killing one and seriously injuring the other. He had reproached them for “boire un coup”, for drinking alcohol, on the day of Eid al-fitr, the holiday that marks the end of Ramadan.
Thirteen-year-old Samara is beaten outside the Arthur Rimbaud middle school in Montpellier. “Samara wears a little makeup – declared the girl’s mother, Hassiba Radjoul – And this little girl who attacked her has her veil. They called her kouffar (unbeliever.) My daughter dresses in European style. There were insults, kahba (bitch).”
Then a principal was threatened with death for asking a student to remove her veil in class.
In Trappes all butchers are halal.
When the Secretary of State for Equality, Marlène Schiappa, decided to move to the city of Trappes for three days to demonstrate attention to cities with a high rate of immigration, she tried to stop in a bar, “where women are not welcome”. The prefect invited the minister to continue on his way “to avoid an accident”.
The Algerian poet Kamel Bencheikh denounced what happened to her daughter in the 19th arrondissement of Paris. She “she Was waiting for the bus with a friend. When he arrived, the driver stopped, looked at them and drove away without opening the door.” The driver told Bencheikh’s daughter, who was wearing a miniskirt: “Dress properly.”
In Achenheim, Alsace, a little girl was beaten by four Muslims, accused of not having observed the Ramadan fast, as she got off a bus on her way to school.
In Perpignan a halal supermarket wants to hire new employees: they must be Muslim and male.
In Bordeaux, shops have even sprung up that ask “sisters” to come on Saturdays and Sundays and “brothers” on weekdays.
It was the beginning of Ramadan, when the Evian brand published a seemingly banal message: “Retweet if you have already drunk a liter of Evian today.” The advertisement sparked a hate campaign against the Danone subsidiary. Evian is accused of “racism”. Thus, the brand decided to apologize.
On the other hand, if the mayor of Lyon, the ecologist Grégory Doucet, does not seem very worried about the sharia patrols in his city which terrorize traders, why should we be? Didn’t Doucet install the “ecological and inclusive urinals”?
In the words of Maurice Dantec, the great and late writer who was fed up with the “decadence of Europe” and fled to Canada, tout va bien.
Police in Birmingham have launched an investigation after three instances of apparently anti-white graffiti appeared in the multicultural British city.
The inner-city Birmingham neighbourhood of Alum Rock saw graffiti reading “no whites” and “no whites allowed” appear over the past week, the Daily Telegraph broadsheet reported.
The paper obtained CCTV footage appearing to show a man in a hoodie sweatshirt scrawling the message “no whites” on a wall outside of a primary school in the early hours of Thursday morning.
Two other locations were marked with a similar message, however, there is currently no indication that the same man was responsible.
Birmingham, the United Kingdom’s second-largest city behind London, was listed in the 2021 Census as one of Britain’s minority-majority cities, with ethnic minorities making up 51.4 per cent of the population.
Birmingham’s white population has fallen from 71 per cent in 2001 and 58 per cent in 2011 to just 48.6 per cent according to the latest census.
The area which reportedly saw the anti-white graffiti, Alum Rock, is heavily dominated by people identifying as “Asian”, which in Britain typically refers to people from South Asian countries such as Bangladesh, India, and Pakistan.
Responding to the apparent anti-white incidents, a West Midlands Police spokesman said: “We are investigating after graffiti was sprayed at locations around the Alum Rock area. An investigation is under way to identify who is responsible, and we are carrying out CCTV enquiries.
“We are in contact with the community and will be carrying out patrols in the area. We are working with the local authority to ensure the graffiti is promptly removed.”
Geert Wilders, whose Freedom Party (PVV) party sits in the Dutch Government, has said he wants Syrians to be sent back to their home country.
“Why do we still let in Syrians in massive numbers?” Wilders asked on X on August 25.
According to him, Syria is safe enough for recognised asylum seekers to return.
Wilders also said he wanted the borders to be closed “in principle” for Syrians and advocated for the return of Syrian refugees with temporary residence permits to their home country.
On Prinsjesdag (Prince’s Day), the third Tuesday of September, when the Dutch King is set to give a State of the Union speech, the return of Syrians should be at the top of the agenda, as far as PVV is concerned. The political party stated it wanted to put forward proposals in parliament to achieve that, newspaper Trouw reported.
With the move, Wilders has raised the pressure on his own minister in government, Marjolein Faber, and the rest of the government of the Netherlands.
For years, Syrians have made up the largest group of asylum seekers in the country. Many people claiming to be from Syria have temporary residence permits secured due to the conflict in the Middle Eastern country.
The Netherlands has granted residence permits to 82 per cent of asylum seekers from Syria. Currently, approximately 150,000 Syrians reside in the country.
According to Statistics Netherlands (CBS), approximately 13,000 Syrians submitted initial asylum applications in the Netherlands in 2023. Of these, more than 80 per cent were male and most of them were under 35 years old.
It remains uncertain as to whether Wilders will easily get his way. In its latest assessment, the interior ministry said Syria was not a safe country. NGO’s and Human Rights organisations share the same view.
This could lead to the courts blocking attempts to organise the return of Syrians by the government.
Currently, voluntary returns are possible, but the Dutch Government does not forcibly return Syrians because according to the ministry there is “a real risk of serious damage” for the persons sent back.
If it is officially declared that parts of the country are safe then it would be possible to send people back to those areas. The previous state secretary of asylum had already indicated in April that security was improving in certain regions, which could lead to a policy shift.
On Monday the 26th of August, a complaint was filed at the police station in the eighth arrondissement of Paris. The representative of the company in charge of making costumes for the closing ceremony of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games filed a complaint about death threats. According to information obtained by Valeurs actuelles from a police source, the company received several emails with death threats from the beginning of August. These death threats were justified in the name of Allah, the justice of Islam, the Quran and the Islamic State.
One letter provided to us by our informants reads, among other things: ‘Let the kyafir and the servants of Shaitan know that our Allah will punish you all for your disbelief and wickedness. The day of retribution will soon come and you will realise the power and rightness of Islam.’ The author of these letters also called on his addressees to ‘humble themselves before the will of Allah’, otherwise they would have to expect the ‘eternal torment of hell’. ‘Allah is just and merciful only to the believers, while the kafir and the unbelievers are doomed to damnation and eternal torment. Repent before it is too late, for Allah is all-powerful and does not forgive the blasphemers,’ says another letter. According to the same source at Valeurs actuelles, the Olympic Committee was informed of the incidents on August 23.
Paul Durant, 78, has taken to the local war memorial to protest against the state of Britain GB NEWS
A grandad locked into a three week hunger strike has been harassed by a pro-Palestine youth in central Blackpool.
Paul Durant, 78, has taken to the local war memorial to protest against the state of Britain and to demand Sir Keir Starmer’s Government take action against illegal immigration.
“One Saturday this youth came and harassed me”, Durant told GB News.
In a video the pensioner showed The People’s Channel, a youth with a foreign-sounding accent can be seen on a bike in front of Durant. The man shouts the chant popular with pro-Palestine protesters: “Free free Palestine.”
The youth followed the chant up with declarations of “F*** Israel” and would alternate chants ad nauseam.
Durant says this is not his only incident with those who oppose him: “Another time police had to move a lad on who was shouting at me. The officer said:’You heard the gentleman. Move’!”
Durant is twenty-four days into a hunger strike that he sees as his last ditch attempt to persuade the Government to scrap mass immigration and prioritise the welfare of those already residing in Britain.
He said: “We have a Government that doesn’t care about anything that is going on. They don’t care about the stabbings, the homeless or the ex-military. I’m prepared to give my life if helps to stop it.”
But the drastic action has taken a toll on Durant. His daughter has terminal cancer and the extra stress weighs on the family.
“My wife and family don’t want me to die and they want me to support them. But I can support my grandchildren and all this country’s children. That’s what I’m trying to do and that’s why I’m doing this. I’m prepared to give my life for my country and the people of this country,” he said.
Asked whether he had a clear demand of the Government, Durant said: “Immediately I want you to stop this illegal immigration. Any boat that gets here without documentation. Immediately, no questions asked – straight on a plane back to France”.
Lamenting the political class for rising crime and community tensions, the Briton continued: “They have no common sense. They go to university and come out thinking they know everything.”
Asked whether his local MP or the council had been in touch, the pensioner shook his head: “I haven’t heard a word from the council or my local MP, they’re not interested.”
Though Durant’s hunger strike has been reported in local media and by GB News, the concerned pensioner has been unable to get out his voice elsewhere, saying the rest of the national media “don’t want to know”.
Despite such drastic action undertaken due to the anxiety over immigration that is shared by many Britons, his hunger strike was unknown to many locals.
One couple out shopping told GB News they shared this concern over immigration: “[There are] no schools, no hospitals no GPs. The amount of money [the migrants] are getting and then they take it off of pensioners!”
On whether this hunger strike will be met with a proper response by the government, the couple said: “No. It’s Labour’s ideology. I don’t trust them to deal with anything.”
Nevertheless, Durant’s decision to act roused some admiration: “He’s like a lone soldier. I support him 100 per cent”.
Another elderly Scottish gentleman sat on the town’s square a church said: “Immigration does worry. It’s becoming difficult to maintain our services.”
He said he wasn’t able to trust Labour to solve the problem. When asked what the Government could do to improve his sense of hope for Britain’s future, he said bluntly: “Do something about immigration.”
But perhaps in accordance with generational divides on immigration across the country, a group of young men disagreed with the prevailing mood.
“They [asylum seekers] are coming for safety and refuge. Their living conditions aren’t the best. We need better for refugees.”
Questioned whether it is fair for asylum seekers in hotels to not have to worry about their fuel bill this winter, when some pensioners will now have to, the young man said: “The heating in the hotels is good for them, they need it.”
All three young men, however, agreed it was admirable for Durant to “do something for a cause” and the pensioner had their respect.
Blackpool council did not respond to multiple requests for comment. Blackpool North MP Lorraine Beavers was not able to provide a comment upon request. Lancashire police did not respond to a request for comment.
Durant pushes on with his hunger strike to save his beloved Britain: “I promise you, I don’t intend to eat”, he vowed.
On Monday (26th August), Meta founder Mark Zuckerberg exposed how the Biden administration weaponised political censorship to curtail free speech on platforms such as Facebook and Instagram.
He revealed that the US government, prodded by the White House, interfered in the content moderation process of Meta and coerced the management to censor ‘certain’ Covid-19 related information.
In his letter to the House Judiciary Committee, Mark Zuckerberg stated, “In 2021, senior officials from the Biden Administration, including the White House, repeatedly pressured our teams for months to censor certain COVID-19 content, including humour and satire, and expressed a lot of frustration with our teams when we didn’t agree.”
Mark Zuckerberg just admitted three things:
1. Biden-Harris Admin "pressured" Facebook to censor Americans.
2. Facebook censored Americans.
3. Facebook throttled the Hunter Biden laptop story.
— House Judiciary GOP 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 (@JudiciaryGOP) August 26, 2024
“Ultimately, it was our decision whether or not to take content down, and we own our decisions, including COVID-19-related changes we made to our enforcement in the wake of this pressure,” he pointed out.
The Meta founder admitted that the company made ‘some decisions’ owing to the intimidation of the Biden administration, which it should not have enforced in hindsight.
“I believe the government pressure was wrong, and I regret that we were not more outspoken about it. I also think we made some choices that, with the benefit of hindsight and new information, we wouldn’t make today,” Mark Zuckerberg emphasised.
Russian disinformation hoax, Hunter Biden laptop story and Biden administration
He informed that the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) reached out to Meta to censor content related to ‘Russian disinformation’ targeting the Biden family in the run-up to the 2020 Presidential elections.
In December 2022, OpIndia reported based on ‘Twitter Files’ about the interference of security agencies in the functioning of Twitter and repeated directives for content removal.
Mark Zuckerberg also made references to the Hunter Biden laptop story, which was gutted by both Facebook and Twitter.
“That fall, when we saw a New York Post story reporting on corruption allegations involving then-Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden’s family, we sent that story to fact-checkers for review and temporarily demoted it while waiting for a reply,” he admitted.
Column’s up: Jack Dorsey and Mark Zuckerberg censored the @nypost Hunter Biden stories before the election to hide the real Joe Biden https://t.co/bjx7cCw0hU
In its report, the New York Post alleged that they had accessed material from a damaged Macbook that was brought to a service centre for repair. The customer who brought the laptop never collected or paid for the services.
The shop owner said he repeatedly tried to contact the client. Though he could not identify the owner as Hunter Biden, he said the laptop had Beau Biden Foundation’s sticker.
The report has several documents and mentions a video that proves that Joe Biden met a high-profile businessman from Ukraine when he was Vice President of the United States.
Reports suggested that Biden may have helped his son Hunter, using his influence as the VP of the United States, in his business in Ukraine. The Biden Camp categorically denied all the allegations.
Meta’s fightback against governmental censorship
Mark Zuckerberg pointed out that his company has made several policy changes to restrict governmental interference in content moderation decisions and prevent the arbitrary classification of controversial posts on its platforms as ‘Russian disinformation.’
“It’s since been made clear that the reporting was not Russian disinformation, and in retrospect, we shouldn’t have demoted the story. We’ve changed our policies and processes to make sure this doesn’t happen again for instance, we no longer temporarily demote things in the U.S. while waiting for fact-checkers,” he added.
The Meta founder concluded, “Like I said to our teams at the time, I feel strongly that we should not compromise our content standards due to pressure from any Administration in either direction and we’re ready to push back if something like this happens again.”
An Australian “trans inclusive” Premier League women’s football team with five male players has secured victory in the grand final match after dominating games throughout the summer. During the 2024 season of the North West Sydney Football Women’s Premier Competition, The Flying Bats won all 17 games and scored 76 goals while only a total of 8 points were scored against them.
The Flying Bats, a football club for “self-identified women and non-binary people,” has attracted significant criticism that has escalated over the past year. The mounting outcry presumably motivated the decision by regulators to ramp up security measures during the Women’s Premier League grand final game on Sunday, which they won, 5-4, over West Pennant Hills Cherrybrook Football Club.
Full-time. Flying Bats FC win the Premiership and the Grand Final. Trans-identified males will be crowned champions in the Women’s Premier League Division. Somehow, this is supposed to represent progress. Somewhere, the custodians of our game don’t care. #SaveWomensSportspic.twitter.com/UaBTGVyRwx
Earlier this year the team was awarded a $1,000 prize after winning the North West Sydney League pre-season Beryl Ackroyd Cup, following a season of winning every game they played in the Women’s Premier League matches, 10-0. The news generated significant outcry and resulted in The Flying Bats making international headlines.
Australian talk radio presenter Ben Fordham spoke with one of the attendees at yesterday’s match. According to the caller, identified only as David, security guards conducted bag checks and required all who attended to ditch their recording devices.
“There was quite a high security presence up there, and… they were actually doing bag checks to make sure no one had brought in any sort of device to film the game any bigger than a mobile phone. I was told by security that they’d had to ask one person who refused to let them into their bag to leave the premises. So they were clamping down on people there trying to take footage… because The Flying Bats are a hot topic in football circles these days,” David said.
“West Pennant had a really vocal crowd up there… At the end of the game, when the full-time whistle went, you should have heard the boos coming from the West Pennant Hills crowd section. It was deafening,” he added.
The Flying Bats have won the premiership.
The team, who took out the women's competition, has 5 male born players.
Spectators who attended the grand final say they weren't allowed to take photos.
West Pennant Hills Cherrybrook Football Club shared an encouraging message to their female athletes on Facebook yesterday after the loss.
“Our Premier Leauge Womens team have left everything on Christie Park this afternoon losing 5-4 in heartbreaking fashion to the Flying Bats,” the post read. “You embodied everything it means to play for our club over an amazing 90 mins of football. We could not be prouder of you girls!”
Comments on the Facebook post were entirely supportive of the women. “Well done ladies! That team should never been allowed to compete,” read one response. “Your girls are the winners here. [You] didn’t lose, [you] were robbed. Shame on the soccer federation for letting this happen,” read another.
According to regulations put forward by the North West Sydney Football Association (NWSFA), “players may register and participate on the basis of their gender identification.” There are a total of at least nine trans-identified males playing football within the women’s leagues, though their identities have been protected and withheld by Australian media.

Guidelines issued by the Australian Human Rights Commission state that under the federal Sex Discrimination Act 1984, sporting organizations are forbidden from enforcing “discrimination” on the basis of a self-declared gender identity. “An example of direct discrimination would be a sporting organization refusing a trans woman’s application for membership because she is transgender,” the guidelines state.
In response to landslide victories secured by The Flying Bats FC, six other football clubs whose women’s teams had competed against them organized an informal meeting on March 17 at the Ranch Hotel in North Ryde. The Northwest Sydney Football Association became aware of the conversation and scheduled a formal meeting. An email was sent out to the club presidents from the CEO of North West Sydney Football, Matthew Geracitano, instructing them to attend a meeting on the evening of March 20 at Christie Park.
Included in the email sent to football club presidents was a packet titled “Online Hate Speech” produced by the eSafety Commission. Above the attachment, the following sentence was highlighted in yellow: “If individuals responsible for posting seriously harmful material do not comply with a removal notice, we can seek civil penalties or fines against perpetrators (up to $111,000).”
During the meeting, which was attended by CEO of Football NSW John Tsatsimas, attendees were told that a decision to boycott participation by forfeiting matches against The Flying Bats would result in “disciplinary action” being issued.
As previously revealed by Reduxx, one of the five men on the women’s football team is trans activist Riley Dennis, who was previously accused of severely injuring women while participating on another women’s team. Dennis could be seen towering over the female players during Sunday’s game, while wearing the Flying Bats uniform decorated with colors from the Pride progress flag.
Dennis, born Justin, 32, currently plays for The Flying Bats, but last year was a member of the Inter Lions team in New South Wales. On May 21, 2023, during a game between the Inter Lions and the St. George football clubs at the Majors Bay Reserve, Dennis launched his smaller female opponent towards a metal fence using an aggressive tackle as the two chased down the ball.
Reduxx was provided footage of the match, which showed the female player laying on her side, unmoving, as the transgender player casually walked away.
Reduxx has learned that trans activist Riley Dennis injured a female player while participating in a women's football game in Australia on May 21.
This is the second time Dennis is alleged to have injured women while playing in a women's league.
The month prior, Dennis was said to have injured another female player, who reportedly had to seek hospital attention as a result of her injury. A letter-writing campaign was launched by Kirralie Smith, a spokeswoman with Binary Australia, encouraging concerned individuals to contact Football New South Wales, which reportedly then received over 12,000 submissions.
For her role in bringing awareness to the injuries sustained by female athletes, Smith was visited by New South Wales Police and handed an Apprehended Violence Order (AVO) on March 30 that year requiring that she neither discuss nor approach Dennis. The AVO was withdrawn by authorities in September.
Earlier this year, Reduxx spoke with president of St. Patrick’s Football Club Frank Parisi, who revealed that at least 20 female players had excluded themselves from the sport, presumably due to safety concerns over serious injuries that had already occurred as a result of male participants in women’s matches.
Parisi described a range of problems that had arisen as a result of men playing in women’s football matches, as well as an incident in which a female player’s leg was broken in two places by a trans-identified male during a game. Female players have been self-excluding from the sport by the dozens, said Parisi, in order to avoid competing against the male players.

Parisi also revealed that one woman was suspended for making a transphobic remark after her friend was injured by a male player. pic.twitter.com/VLPWqe3eSH
“A couple of year ago, one of The Flying Bats players broke one of our players’ legs in a game. It was a clumsy tackle from behind. Our player had her leg broken in two places and she’s no longer playing football. It was a direct result of a real bad, tall player… he didn’t get a red card,” Parisi said.
However, while the trans-identified male who caused the injury was not penalized, one female player who rushed to help the injured woman was suspended for a comment she made during the incident.
“One of our players rushed over to try to help her, she was screaming in so much pain. At that time, she made a derogatory remark to the Bats player, which we apologized for. [She was] suspended. The Bats player, nothing happened to [him].” Parisi clarified that following this incident, the player was suspended from matches for a total of eight weeks.
In 2022, the year in which a female player for St. Patrick’s FC had her leg broken by a trans-identified male associated with The Flying Bats, club president for the latter group, Jen Peden, was honored with a Fair Play award presented by the NWSFA – a fact announced to the club’s Facebook page with the comment, “We play nice.”
In March, massive public outcry ensued after news broke of the five trans-identified players on The Flying Bats team. In response, LGBTI Rights Australia, a Facebook community with over 250,000 followers, made a public statement mocking “TERF Nazis” and suggesting that “transphobes” should “train a bit harder.”
Anarchotyranny means that even as Islamic colonists are allowed to run riot to the point that a “festival of diversity” has a body count, a foreign Internet platform is approached by the police for allowing users to call a left-wing member of Parliament fat.
The operator of the social network Gab received a request from the German Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA) to hand over all the data of a user who had denigrated Ricarda Lang because of her weight.
To his credit, Andrew Torba refused. His response, via The Noticer:
Stricter knife laws and increased deportations of rejected asylum-seekers. Those are two much-repeated promises made again Monday by German Chancellor Olaf Scholz as he talked tough on a visit to the scene of the knife attack in which a suspected Islamic terrorist from Syria is accused of killing three people.
A “furious and angry” Scholz, speaking after he joined regional officials in laying a white flower at a makeshift memorial in the western city of Solingen, promised action in the wake of the deadly attack, in which eight people also were wounded by the failed asylum seeker.
The chancellor used the same threats and vows of “something must be done” earlier this year when a similar mass stabbing happened in the regional center of Mannheim carried out by an Afghan immigrant.
The Syrian asylum seeker suspected of killing three and injuring several others at a “festival of diversity” in Germany on Friday reportedly had a deportation order last year, but authorities failed to remove him from the country, as Breitbart News reported.
“We must do everything to ensure that such things never happen in our country, if possible,” Scholz said of the attack. He predicted a toughening knife laws in particular “and this should and will happen very quickly.”
Green Vice Chancellor Robert Habeck also called for a tightening of knife laws, saying there must be “more weapon ban zones and stricter weapon laws.”
“No one has to carry stabbing or cutting weapons in public spaces in Germany,” said the Green politician. “We no longer live in the Middle Ages.”
The leader of the centre-right Christian Democratic Union (CDU) party, Friedrich Merz turned on Scholz, saying the problem isn’t the knives but the people allowed into the country:
“It’s enough,” Merz wrote, saying: “After the terrorist act in Solingen, it should now be finally clear: it is not the knives that are the problem, but the people who run around with it… In the majority of cases, these are refugees, in the majority of the deeds, there were Islamist motives behind them.”
He went on to demand the government begin deportations to Syria and Afghanistan, which have been halted over safety concerns, and to stop accepting asylum seekers from the countries.
The suspect now in custody turned himself in to police on Saturday evening, a day after the attack at a festival marking the city’s 650th anniversary.
Federal prosecutors said Sunday the attacker shared the radical terror ideology of the Islamic State group, which he joined at a point that remains unclear, and was acting on those beliefs when he stabbed his victims repeatedly from behind in the neck and upper body.
The 26-year-old had had his asylum application rejected and was supposed to be deported last year to Bulgaria, where he first entered the European Union, but that failed because he disappeared for a time, according to German media reports cited by AP.
Following a knife attack by an Afghan immigrant in Mannheim at the end of May that left one police officer dead and four more people injured, Scholz vowed Germany will start deporting criminals from Afghanistan and Syria again.
Germany does not currently carry out deportations to those countries.
