A 19-year-old Malian national has been arrested in connection with the rape of a young mother in Vannes, France, on the afternoon of Sunday, April 5, 2026.
Prosecutors state that the two had been in contact over social media when the suspect showed up at her apartment uninvited. Once he had the woman alone, he pulled out a knife and forcibly raped her.
After the woman contacted police, firefighters transported the woman, who was in a state of shock, to the Vannes hospital center.
Following the incident, anti-crime officers found the individual at the Vannes train station, where he was attempting to board a Paris-bound TGV train. Police arrested him before he could board the train.
Vannes public prosecutor’s office declined to specify what legal proceedings it intended to pursue.
The case is a stark illustration of a broader trend that has alarmed French authorities and the public alike. Crime rates in France soared in 2024, with an average of three murders, 600 burglaries, and 330 sexual assaults and armed robberies every day. In total, there were 1,186 victims of homicide — a 28 percent increase since 2016. Sexual violence surged to 123,210 offenses in 2024, a figure that has skyrocketed by 137 percent since 2016.
According to Statista, violent crimes more broadly rose to around 384,100 offenses in 2023, a large increase of more than 30,000 compared with the previous year — and nearly double the 225,500 recorded in 2016.
Last year, Astrid Mae, a spokeswoman for the French feminist group Collectif Némésis, placed the blame on mass immigration. “There is a problem of massive, uncontrolled immigration. We know that today, 62 percent of sexual assaults on public transport in the Ile-de-France region are committed by foreigners.”
🇫🇷"There is a problem of massive, uncontrolled immigration. We know that today, 62% of sexual assaults on public transport in the Ile-de-France region are committed by foreigners."
France’s High Council for Equality’s 2024 annual report stated that recorded sexual violence incidents doubled between 2017 and 2022. There are also concerns that the French authorities are not taking the issue seriously. The Institute for Public Policy Studies has reported that between 2012 and 2021, the French court system dismissed 94 percent of rape complaints and 86 percent of sexual violence complaints. Critics believe this reflects a systemic failure to hold perpetrators accountable, and one that does little to deter crimes of the kind that unfolded in Vannes on that April afternoon.
Similar knife-point-style rapes are commonplace in France. In January of this year, 24-year-old Mohammed D. was sentenced to nine years in prison after he snuck through a window and raped a building caretaker at knife point in a case that dates back to the summer of 2023. In some cases, outright violence is meted out, such as in the broomstick rape case of Mégan, which left her in a coma and with permanent and horrific injuries. Oumar Ndiaye is on trial for the case.
German schoolteachers are increasingly at risk of violent aggression.
According to an analysis of the country’s police crime statistic (PKS) published by news agency dpa today, the number of severe attacks more than doubled between 2015 and 2024.
In 2024, the latest year for which numbers are available, German police counted 557 cases of severe violent crime against teachers. This category includes crimes such as murder, manslaughter, rape and grievous bodily harms.
By comparison, in 2015 only 268 such cases were counted, meaning that the number of violent attacks rose by 108 per cent.
The number of intentional simple bodily harm – attacks that do not provoke lasting damage – also rose to a new high of 1,283 cases in 2024.
The numbers were provided by the interior ministry in response to a request for information by the Greens Party.
The police statistic shows that attacks on police officers, firemen and other emergency service personnel have equally gone up.
Germany’s schools have seen a general rise in violence in the last years.
According to calculations by Schulportal, an education website, cases of violent crime at German schools have risen by almost 40 per cent between 2022 and 2024 alone, rising from circa 21,000 cases in 2021 to 29,000 cases in 2024.
While attacks on teachers receive more public scrutiny it is mostly pupils themselves who become victims of attacks by their schoolmates.
In a 2025 survey among German teachers, 47 per cent of respondents said there were problems at their schools with physical and psychological violence among their students.
In a recent gruesome case, on March 30, a 15-year-old Palestinian immigrant stabbed a 13-year-old boy in front of a school in Hamburg’s Flottbek district with a knife after a fistfight. The victim was harmed so badly that he is still in a coma and may never be able to breathe or speak independently again.
Flottbek is one of Hamburg’s most exclusive and pricy residential districts.
Ahead of the world-famous meet in Merseyside this weekend, it has been revealed that Polanski has advocated for the sport to be banned altogether as recently as 2024.
Mr Polanski wrote on X in 2024: “Let’s go further and remove all animals involved in sport”.
He has also advocated for the ban of equestrian events from the Olympics.
The curious take comes despite the Green leader openly advocating for the legalisation of drugs and prostitution.
The horse racing industry is worth up to £4billion to Britain – and supports tens of thousands of jobs as well as the UK’s rural communities.
Reform UK’s leader Nigel Farage blasted Mr Polanski’s views as “cranky nonsense” when speaking to The Sun.
He added: “The idea of banning horse racing is utterly absurd.
“Horse racing is an integral part of our British heritage.
“It’s a sport that supports tens of thousands of jobs, rural communities, and generations of tradition.
“It’s also deeply ironic that Polanski, a party leader that seems happy to legalise just about everything else, is so enthusiastic about banning one of Britain’s most historic and beloved sports.”
Senior Tory Nick Timothy, whose constituency includes Newmarket racecourse, added: “This is extreme madness from Zack Polanski.
“He’s not the only one. This Labour Government risks taxing and regulating racing out of existence.”
Mr Polanski has been approached for further comment.
A trans-identified male in Germany is suing a women’s gym after having his membership cancelled for challenging their “no penis” policy. Joseph Bellissimo, also known as Jake “Marlene” Bellissimo or “Avelo,” admitted to deliberately targeting the gym after hearing that they had turned away other trans-identified males.
Bellissimo was originally born in the United States, but moved to Germany and started an independent record label. He currently works as a self-described comedian, musician, and activist. In 2024, Bellissimo was featured on a season of The Voice Germany.
Bellissimo first took to social media to complain about the gym’s policies in October of last year, posting a TikTok video where he claimed to have signed up to a women’s gym in Berlin and began using the facilities over a period of two weeks. One day, Bellissimo called the gym and asked them to confirm their policies on trans-identified males. A staff member reportedly told him that males may be permitted but only if they had undergone a vaginoplasty.
“According to the General Equal Treatment Act, that’s illegal,” he says in the video. He then describes visiting the gym to confront the staff in person, who asked if he had been honest about his biological sex or transgender status when he signed up. He was also asked if he had undergone “sex reassignment surgery,” which he refused to answer.
“Legally speaking, I am a woman so I am allowed in the women’s fitness area,” he says. “She asked if I wanted to cancel my membership. I said I did not want to, but if it had to be cancelled I wanted to have a legal reason for it. She told me I would receive an email explaining why.”
Bellissimo was then told he was not permitted to continue working out at the facility.
Bellissimo has said that no one at the gym was able to tell that he is a male.
In December of 2025, Bellissimo announced he was planning to take legal action against the gym for discriminating against trans-identified males. He launched a fundraiser shortly after, seeking financial assistance to carry the cost of the suit.
“My name is Marlene Bellissimo. I am an artist and active online under the name Avelo (@avelospricht). I am also a trans woman and was convinced that I was discriminated against by a women’s gym in Berlin. As I mentioned in my last video on TikTok and Instagram, I therefore decided to take legal action against the studio,” Bellissimo writes in the fundraiser description.
“I successfully enrolled in the studio and trained there for two weeks. Only after I had come out as a trans woman, I was asked if I had performed a gender reassignment operation. I didn’t have to answer that question legally. My ID says ‘female’ and I was initially clearly accepted as a woman – otherwise I would not have been allowed to train there … I tried to resolve the conflict out of court, which unfortunately was not possible. That is why I decided to sue.”
So far, Bellissimo has raised just under 2,000 Euros of his 10,000 Euro goal. He has said he intends to donate any winnings from the case to a “BIPOC and trans community center in Berlin-Kreuzberg.”
In February, Bellissimo was interviewed by a German news outlet where he recounted his experience at the gym and added: “There is no legal difference between a woman with a penis and a woman with a vagina.”
He continued: “It’s not about the safety of women, but about how they have to be. Can she have a deep voice? Short hair? Masculine trains? We see this in the USA, where cis women are thrown out of women’s rooms because they seem masculine. These rules harm all women.”
Bellissimo also admitted to knowing of explicitly trans-friendly gyms in his area, but said he refuses to use them. “I don’t want to provoke. I just want to live my life. Of course, there are also queer gyms, and that’s good – but I don’t want segregation. I just want to be a woman in everyday life.”
But while Bellissimo has presented his case as being a spontaneous instance of alleged discrimination, last week, he appeared on an English-language podcast and admitted that he had been fully aware of the gym’s policies prior to signing up for a membership, and had effectively attempted to “test” the gym.
“I had heard of this fitness studio where someone I knew, a trans woman, was allegedly not allowed to join… I thought, I’m looking for a new place to go, and so I signed up at this gym,” Bellissimo admitted. “People don’t generally clock me as trans in my life. They don’t usually recognize I’m trans. So I thought it would be interesting to see if I could train at this gym. I was successful at registering … I went there a few times over the course of two weeks, and I was making TikTok videos about it because I thought it was an interesting experience I wanted to share with people. After two weeks, I decided I wanted to disclose I am trans.”
Bellissimo said that it was at that point he called the gym pretending to be someone else and confirmed that trans-identified males who had not had genital surgery were not permitted to join as members.
“To my knowledge, that does not appear to be in accordance with the [law],” Bellissimo said, going on to explain that his membership at the gym was then canceled. He alleges that he was later told by a gym staff member that the gym was a “pure women’s fitness studio.”
While the status of Bellissimo’s case is currently unknown, he is likely to benefit from Germany’s extremely strict gender identity protections. In April of 2024, the German federal government passed the Self-Determination ACT (SBGG), which established “gender identity” as a protected characteristic.
Bellissimo is also not the first trans-identified male in Germany to take legal action against a women’s gym for attempting to restrict membership, with another recent case in Erlangen, Bavaria, having been successful.
In that case, Lady’s First fitness studio was ordered by the Independent Federal Commissioner for Anti-Discrimination to pay 1000 Euros to a balding trans-identified male who had been refused access to the women’s shower room.
The man, Laura Holstein, claimed he had been subjected to “personal injury” as a result of being rejected from using the women’s showers, a policy Lady’s First had in place to protect its female Muslim clientele.
GERMANY: A balding trans-identified male is suing a female-only gym for €2,500 after being denied access to the women's showers.
Laura Holstein, 25, launched the suit days after the gym was ordered to pay a €1,000 discrimination fine by the government.https://t.co/WVo3mHvhDN
But Holstein was not satisfied with the ruling, and sought additional compensation after complaining that he had become the victim of a “media witch hunt” after the news broke about his crusade against Lady’s First. Holstein acquired legal representation and sought an even larger payout from the gym.
Following international backlash, Holstein teamed up with a publicly-funded “anti-hate” group to censor media outlets which “misgendered” him or published his photo.
The Hamburg Public Prosecutor’s Office has launched a criminal investigation into a YouTuber over a video containing a Christian message critical of Islam. As reported by the news agency Idea, the investigation has been ongoing since February 2025. However, the case only came to light on Wednesday following Idea’s report.
The case concerns the YouTuber “Niko”, who runs the channel “Eternal Life” together with another Christian. The 42-year-old is accused of violating the ban on “insulting creeds, religious societies and ideological associations” under Section 166 of the Criminal Code. According to Idea’s account, the proceedings relate to a video from 2024. In it, Niko sarcastically commented on images of demonstrators celebrating the massacre of Israeli civilians by the terrorist organisation Hamas on October 7, 2023, saying: “It’s 2024 and anti-Semitism is officially permitted again in Germany.”
He also commented on a news clip showing an Islamist demonstration in Germany: “This demonstration and this religion reveal something profound to us. They are a mirror of us as human beings. Because every person harbours hatred within them and is driven by desire. Every person wants power and wealth; that is why Jesus Christ came to die and rise again, thereby giving us his Spirit. […] It is through this Spirit that we can truly practise love, peace, kindness and goodness towards our neighbour.”
In the video, Nikos’s comrade-in-arms Tino stated, among other things: “Islam and the message behind it bring nothing but hatred, power and murder. This religion offers no peace, no joy and no life. They are fighting for a dead message and a dead God. They want to establish an earthly kingdom in this world.” The Hamburg Public Prosecutor’s Office confirmed to Idea that an investigation was underway, but declined to provide further details. In his statement to the investigators, Nikos’s lawyer called for the case to be dropped. He argued that the overall context of the video, as well as the YouTube channel and its content, clearly showed that Nikos was “concerned neither with incitement nor with denigration, but with the defence and promotion of his Christian faith”.
The issue of Islamic anti-Semitism, which the video addresses, is also being publicly discussed by officials, including the Berlin Police Commissioner and the Federal Agency for Civic Education. Furthermore, for an act to be punishable under Section 166 of the Criminal Code, a statement must objectively be capable of disturbing the peace. This is clearly not the case with this video. The Christian Police Association (CPV), of which Niko is a member as a police officer, criticised the prosecution’s actions when asked by Idea. Its Federal Chairman, retired Chief Inspector Holger Clas, explained that the exceptionally long duration of the proceedings over statements that are clearly covered by the constitutionally protected freedom of expression was placing a considerable strain on his colleagues. “We cannot understand this at all. In my many years of practice, I am not aware of any case in which statements critical of the church have been prosecuted in this way. This gives the impression that double standards are being applied.”
The “Eternal Life” channel was launched in April 2024. The name refers to a verse from the Epistle to the Romans by the Apostle Paul, which reads: “For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” (Romans 6:23) The most recent video to date was published in August 2025.
A development plan in line with the German government’s wishes
Germany’s ministry of construction has submitted a new draft law that would give municipalities the right to buy up property rather than let it fall into the hands of “enemies of the constitution”.
That is the term most commonly applied to members of the biggest opposition party, Alternative for Germany (AfD), and others on the Right.
On April 2, construction minister Verena Hubertz (Social Democratic Party, SPD) presented the new “Bill on the Modernisation of Urban Planning and Regional Planning Legislation”, promising easier new builds and safer cityscapes.
“The Building Code upgrade provides a boost for local planning and will serve as a toolkit for climate adaptation, accelerated construction and more housing,” the minister said.
The ministry’s press release touted the draft law’s merits in making re-zoning easier, facilitating environmental audits and pushing for digitalisation and transparency.
One critical section of the new law, though, was omitted from the statement – and left deeply buried within the 174-page document.
The new bill, should it be adopted by parliament in its current form, would give German municipalities a right of first refusal to buy up properties that are about to be sold to people who would use them for “activities directed against the free democratic basic order, provided that the facts justify the assumption that the purchaser actively supports the realisation of such activities”.
To exercise that right, municipalities would be authorised to request information about prospective buyers from the Verfassungsschutz, Germany’s domestic intelligence agency, as well as from the Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA). The Verfassungsschutz operates under the authority of the Interior Ministry and is therefore directly subject to the political direction of the government.
The bill also clarifies that these activities would not have to be illegal for the municipality to step in: “Anti-constitutional activities are characterised by active, though not necessarily militant, aggressive or illegal, measures aimed at achieving their objectives. They must be objectively capable of having political consequences in the short or long term.”
In the past, the label of “anti-constitutionality” has habitually been applied to the AfD by mainstream politics and media. SPD especially has repeatedly pushed for labelling AfD “anti-constitutional” with the goal of banning the entire party outright.
Observers are warning that the new law may set the stage for political “ideology tests” for real estate buyers – as the municipality could use its right of first refusal to buy up properties that right-wingers would be interested in acquiring.
The AfD’s parliamentary speaker for construction, Marc Bernhard, called the plans “unconstitutional extremism by the SPD”.
AfD is Germany’s biggest opposition party. At the 2025 general election the right-wingers received almost 21 per cent of the vote. Current polls see AfD ahead of the ruling Christian Democratic Union (CDU) at 26 versus 25 per cent.

A statement of interest is in order here: the writer is a Magyarophile. As a Portuguese and as a European, I have good reason to think fondly of the great people of the Carpathians who have given the world so much. It is to a son of Hungary, Mardell Károly, that much of the reconstruction of Lisbon, following the horror of the 1755 earthquake, is owed. Hungarian sacrifice at Mohi, in 1241, helped turn the tide of Mongol advance into the heart of Europe; disaster at Mohács, in 1526, made Hungary the suffering frontier of Christendom against the Ottoman onslaught. Yet, despite this tumultuous history, Hungarians have—in the field of battle and in the world of sciences and the arts, from music to literature and architecture—persistently been at the forefront of European achievement. Our civilisation would be much poorer, indeed, without Liszt, Kós, and Petőfi. Europe is also the daughter of King Saint Stephen and Corvinus.
Great little Hungary will be asked to make a momentous decision this coming April 12th. For Brussels, the next legislative election presents it with the hope that now, at last, the Hungarian nuisance might be taken out of the picture; that Hungarian determination in safeguarding its independence, its sovereignty, and its national interests will be silenced. For this purpose, the Brusselians have built a Trojan horse, Péter Magyar, and concocted an absurd coalition uniting everything from pro-EU liberals and centrists to reformed communists and former neo-Nazis. In several constituencies, candidates of the once vilified Jobbik party withdrew in support of Tisza, Magyar’s party. Magyar also enjoys the support of a good number of former Communists. Ágnes Forsthoffer, vice president of his party, comes from a wealthy family of Kádar-era communist nomenklatura; another Tisza vice president, Zoltán Tarr, is similarly alleged to have been an informer of the hated Communist political police, the Third Department of the Ministry of the Interior.
This post-ideological mishmash is obviously unfit to govern, and ultimately it doesn’t care about governing. After all, it was not born from Hungarian soil, but from the machinations of Brussels bureaucrats who loathe Hungary. In Magyar, they found a man ambitious and gullible enough to sign their Faustian bargain. If he were to prevail, he would not be a Hungarian prime minister, but a European satrap in Budapest. It is unfortunate to notice the excitement with which Magyar himself yearns for that supremely undignified role.
Brussels dreams of a weak, compliant Hungary. They could never quite understand how a tiny country of nine million, landlocked, still recovering from decades of communist oppression, might have the audacity to resist them. It doesn’t help that, time and again, the Hungarians showed themselves to be the last bastion of European common sense. When Brussels and Berlin were merrily destroying Europe’s nuclear sector, Budapest was infuriating them by modernising and strengthening its own. When Merkel and the Brusselians were proclaiming “Wir schaffen das” and opening Europe’s borders to tens of millions of non-European immigrants who never were nor ever could be integrated, Prime Minister Orbán was a lonely voice of wisdom and realism in reminding Brussels that, in fact, hyper-immigration would lead to catastrophe.
When the Establishment was busily demolishing the very foundations of European industrial prowess and economic prosperity by severing oil and gas imports from Russia, Hungary warned that doing so would lead to desindustrialisation and a loss—not an increase—of strategic autonomy. Now, with the Middle East on fire and oil prices on the way to 200 dollars per barrel, the profound wisdom of Orbán’s warnings is visible for all to see. In all those cases, the Hungarian prime minister stood alone, isolated, and maligned by a hopelessly foolish European establishment. He held his ground. And he was proven right.
Of course, there is no denying that a long period of government, however prescient or successful, will inevitably take its toll. Viktor Orbán has been at the forefront of Hungarian politics since the fall of communism. He was first elected president of the right-wing Fidesz in 1993. He first served as Hungary’s prime minister from 1998 to 2002. He has continuously been his country’s head of government since 2010. While the final result is highly uncertain, opinion polls for April 12th do suggest that the race will be incredibly tight. Eventually, success becomes normal; normality is then taken for granted. Instead, Hungarians must reflect on why their country is seen with such admiration by so many around the world. Hungary, with a debt to GDP ratio of just 66% and a GDP per capita that is now on the same level as Western European countries like Portugal, should not forget how much it has advanced since its liberation from communist tyranny—neither should it forget the men and the ideas that made such progress possible.
Most importantly, when they visit the unsafe, dirty, collapsing, and deracinated cities of Western Europe, they should compare them with the quality of life they enjoy at home. Orbán’s greatest legacy is not the transformation of Hungary into a prosperous, first-world European nation. It is demography: no more than 2% of those living in Hungary are immigrants; Hungarians remain 98% of the population in their ancestral land. That much is inestimable — it is a victory more important than any other and that will spare Hungary the tensions and instability that, in Western Europe, are already the cause of such mayhem.
For Hungary, April 12th will be historic. Its proud people will be called to choose between virtue and adherence to the national interest in governance and the same sort of Brusselian occupation that has led so many other European nations to decay. Throughout Europe, patriots, sovereignists, and friends of Hungary are hoping that Hungarians will once again reward their indomitable prime minister with a victory that will shock and humble the European political class. As was always the case in the past, Hungary’s enemies would be advised not to underestimate it.

A 22-year-old man from Mali, accused of raping a woman in her seventies inside her home in Pistoia, has been freed after an Italian court annulled his pre-trial detention on technical grounds. Judges found that the original custody order had not been translated into French, a language the defendant understands.
The assault took place on June 19, 2025, when the attacker allegedly followed the woman into her building, threatened her with a knife, and held her captive before carrying out the rape. He fled the scene but was located two days later at Florence’s main train station and arrested. Since late June, he had been held in custody while awaiting trial.
Proceedings against him began last week in Pistoia, where the victim had to recount the attack in court. She gave evidence about what prosecutors describe as a sustained and traumatic assault inside her own home.
However, on Tuesday, the Florence review court overturned the detention order after the defense successfully argued that the failure to translate the document into the defendant’s primary language constituted a serious procedural violation.
The man is now free in Italy, and proceedings must be restarted.
The victim’s family said they fear the man could seek revenge and that the family is now reluctant to leave the house.
“She identified him and testified against him, and now we are the ones living in fear,” said the victim’s daughter, as cited by La Nazione. She raised concerns that the suspect has no fixed address and has not been placed under electronic monitoring, making it highly likely he could either abscond or target the family.
The controversy comes amid broader criticism in Italy over how the justice system handles serious offenses involving foreign nationals and asylum seekers. In a separate case earlier this year, an Italian appeals court refused to extradite a Pakistani man accused of murder in Greece, ruling that prison conditions there could violate protections under the European Convention on Human Rights. The decision led to his release in Italy despite an active European arrest warrant.
The judiciary has also faced mounting political pressure from the government of Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, with senior figures arguing that a pattern of rulings has undermined efforts to tighten immigration controls and enforce deportations. Previous court interventions have blocked migrant transfer policies and overturned detention orders for individuals earmarked for removal, prompting sharp criticism from ministers, including Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini, who say such decisions weaken public confidence in the system.
Even many of those who are successfully convicted of offenses are serving their sentences outside of prison. As of January 2026, over 30,000 foreign nationals who had been handed a custodial sentence were doing their time outside of prison. In January of this year, Rosita Solano, whose parents were murdered in Sicily in 2015 by an Ivorian asylum seeker, said that victims are often left without adequate protection or support. She argued that while offenders receive legal aid and state assistance, victims frequently face long-term consequences with limited support.
“In Italy, those who commit crimes are protected, legally assisted with free legal aid, food, and lodging, while those who suffer a crime count for nothing,” she said. “Victims are abandoned and invisible.”
“No immediate medical or psychological support, no help, no protection,” she said when asked what services had been made available to her in the aftermath of the gruesome double homicide, further revealing that families were left to cover legal and therapeutic costs themselves.
