Month: September 2026

Attempts by Germany’s increasingly unpopular globalist government to ban Alternative for Germany (AfD), now the country’s most popular party, have reached Washington and drawn a response from Congress.

Republican Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, according to reports from Germany’s mainstream press, has warned lawmakers in Thuringia that she will press the Trump administration to consider U.S. travel restrictions against politicians who support an AfD ban.

Luna’s intervention comes as the Thuringian state parliament prepares for a September 30 public hearing on the far-left, anti-European Die Linke’s motion calling on the state government to push Berlin and other German states toward formal AfD prohibition proceedings.

The hearing is set to unfold in three public sessions and will be streamed by the parliament.

The spectacle, for critics of the proposed ban, raises a basic question that Germany’s political class can no longer avoid: how far should a democratic state go in trying to remove a large opposition party from electoral competition?

Luna’s statements put that question at the center of the dispute rather than treating a ban as an ordinary procedural matter.

“A free state governed by the rule of law may certainly take decisive action against its actual enemies,” Luna wrote. But, she argued, criticism of a government cannot simply be equated with hostility toward the constitution, adding: “The state may punish perpetrators, but not thoughts or opinions.” Pasted markdown

Luna said the material available publicly does not provide “convincing evidence” for banning the AfD as an entire political party. She argued that opponents appear, in her view, to be trying to eliminate an “unwelcome competitor” through institutions rather than defeating it at the ballot box. Pasted markdown

It’s worth noting that the German Constitutional Court says objectionable or even anti-constitutional ideas are not enough by themselves; a party must actively and systematically seek to undermine the free democratic order, and there must be concrete indications that its efforts could have some prospect of success

Only the Bundestag, Bundesrat or federal government may bring a party-ban application, and only the Constitutional Court can order dissolution. Thuringia therefore cannot simply vote the AfD out of existence; the Left Party’s proposal seeks to push the process upward into Germany’s federal institutions.

Luna made clear that she wants German lawmakers to know the controversy could carry consequences in America.. “Should you ban the AfD, I will speak with Minister Rubio” and seek entry restrictions against the lawmakers who initiated or supported the effort, she wrote.

Luna sits firmly inside the MAGA wing of the Republican Party and has cultivated contacts with AfD figures. She has previously met party representatives in Washington and has repeatedly spoken publicly against efforts to isolate the AfD from normal political competition.

The Thuringian AfD welcomed her statements. Deputy parliamentary leader Daniel Haseloff said the central issue remains whether proponents of prohibition can produce hard evidence rather than political labels, asking: “Where is the reliable evidence for a systematic plan by the AfD to abolish the free democratic basic order?”

“Keywords and baseless suspicions do not replace this proof,” Haseloff added. His caucus portrayed Luna’s letter as evidence that Germany’s ban debate is beginning to attract scrutiny well beyond the country’s borders.

Katharina König-Preuß, a lawmaker for the anti-democratic, extremist Die Linke party, condemned Luna’s proposed travel restrictions, claiming them as outside intimidation of elected German legislators. She said parliamentarians must decide according to the constitution, facts and conscience, not according to whether a foreign government might later impose personal consequences.

Her radical left-globalist faction has contacted Germany’s Foreign Office, the president of the Thuringian parliament and the U.S. Consulate General over Luna’s intervention. König-Preuß said the Left would not allow the warning to alter its position on the hearing or the proposed ban initiative.

The hearing itself is set to feature sharply opposed voices, including legal and political specialists, comedian and declared AfD opponent Hape Kerkeling, and former domestic intelligence chief Hans-Georg Maaßen. That unusual mix reflects how far the issue has moved beyond a narrow constitutional-law debate and into Germany’s broader political culture war.

Underlying the entire dispute is the AfD’s rapid growth and its challenge to Germany’s post-Merkel consensus on mass migration, national sovereignty, left-liberal cultural hegemony, and European integration. The party advocates tighter borders, more deportations and a policy it describes as “remigration,” making immigration one of the clearest dividing lines between the AfD and Germany’s globalist establishment political parties.

That electoral growth is precisely why the prohibition debate carries significant political weight. Opponents of a ban argue that removing a party, the most popular party in the country, with a massive base through judicial proceedings risks turning a constitutional safeguard into a substitute for political competition, while supporters counter that popularity does not exempt any organization from Article 21 of the Basic Law.

The Constitutional Court’s own precedent captures that tension. In its 2017 judgment against the National Democratic Party of Germany (NPD) party, it stressed both the exceptional nature of party prohibition and the need for concrete, weighty evidence that a party is actively fighting the democratic order rather than merely expressing objectionable views.

Luna appears to have seized on exactly that distinction. Her argument is that an opposition party’s electoral success and harsh criticism of government policy cannot themselves substitute for evidence satisfying the court’s constitutional test, while the marginal, anti-democratic, far-left extremist Die Linke party maintains that the AfD’s conduct and ideology justify putting that question before Germany’s institutions.

The battle therefore now runs on two tracks: a German constitutional fight over whether an AfD prohibition should even be initiated, and a transatlantic political fight over what such a move would say about Western democratic competition.

Luna’s primary message is that banning a major opposition party should require extraordinary evidence, and the Republican’s MAGA wing intends to make sure the people pursuing that course face international scrutiny as well.

And “that we don’t want to have.”

Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Nature Jenny Riddell-Carpenter has some thoughts.

“If we don’t make the case for nature,” the politician told a Labour conference, “there’ll be the far-right deciding and determining what that looks like. It’ll be a vision, a nostalgic vision of Britain, that never really existed. It’ll be that warm ale, a black Labrador by your feet in a pub that doesn’t exist, and with symbolism of fox hunting all around them, it’ll be a very far-right nostalgic vision of Britain that we don’t want to have, [and] never really existed.”

“That we don’t want to have.” Well obviously. After all we know that the original British people were black and built Stonehenge.

Brilliant Black British History, an illustrated book by the Nigerian-born UK author Atinuke, also claimed “every single British person comes from a migrant” but “the very first Britons were black”.

The popular attraction Stonehenge was identified as a landmark built while Britain was a “black country”.

The book states that the first British people were black and “Britain was a black country for more than 7,000 years before white people came”.

Stop Hate UK said the book “is a huge step forward in ensuring racist attitudes do not progress into children of the next generation”.

It also claimed the so-called Cheddar Man, the oldest human remains found in Britain, had skin as “dark as dark can be”.

The book, which comes days after Horrible Histories was also criticised, suggested a black Muslim population brought “new knowledge about textiles, medicine, maths and navigation” to early modern Britain.

There were never any pubs in Britain. Just Muslims importing knowledge about math, medicine and chemical explosives. And black people building Stonehenge.

I wonder if Canadians have become so accustomed to horrifying headlines that we have become desensitized. The National Post’s September 26 headline should be shocking, but we have seen dozens like it over the past decade: “Within 10 days, two pedophile child killers were given temporary passes to leave prison.”

“In just a little more than a week, the Parole Board of Canada granted to two B.C. men jailed for murdering children temporary passes to leave prison,” Tristin Hopper writes. “Both men are pedophiles who committed their crimes in the early 2000s, and whose victims would now be in their 30s. Both men are believed to have been freed into the Victoria area, but their releases were not accompanied by public warnings.”

On September 11, Douglas Lambier was granted 60-day “unescorted absences” from jail by the parole board. I didn’t immediately recognize the name, but I did recognize the face of his victim, which covered the front pages for days: 9-year-old Brandon Burchell, whom Lambier strangled to death in 2005. Prosecutors believed that Lambier, who already had two previous convictions for the sexual assault of children, had attempted to assault the boy and killed him when he resisted.

Lambier was initially charged with first-degree murder of Brandon Burchell (the grandson of the woman he was dating) and pleaded guilty to second-degree murder in 2006, for which he received the mandatory life sentence, with no eligibility for parole for 15 years. Lambier is now on his tenth release from prison, despite Burchell’s family attending the parole hearing to beg that he be kept in jail. “I don’t think this man should be out of prison at all,” said Brandon’s mother Tina Gervais. “It’s not safe for any community.”

I suspect you would be hard pressed to find any Canadian who disagrees with her. Multiple convictions for sexually assaulting children, culminating in an attempted sexual assault and a violent murder? And yet, Lambier is out in public, unsupervised.

The other case cited by Hopper is even worse, if cases like this can be compared. In October 2000, 10-year-old Heather Thomas was playing outdoors near her father’s townhouse in Cloverdale, B.C. Shane Ertmoed, who lived nearby, lured her into his house on the pretense of looking at photos of birds, attempted to sexually assault her, and strangled her to death while suppressing her screams. He then stuffed her body and clothes into a sports bag and dumped it first in the forest, and then into Alouette Lake, where it was found three weeks later.

“Despite receiving a 25-year prison sentence, Ertmoed has been receiving temporary releases since 2021, and his most recent Parole Board decision made reference to his eventual plan to become a plumber,” Hopper reported. “‘At sentencing, the judge described your offence as the most horrific crime known to our law, ‘the killing of a defenceless young girl. The judge noted also that you had no remorse,’ read the decision, which also noted Ertmoed’s history of ‘deviant sexual behaviour’ leading up to Thomas’s murder.” Heather Thomas’s family came to the parole hearing to ask that he not be released.

“They do not believe you should have this opportunity and that you should remain in prison until you die,” the parole board stated in their summary of the family’s request. “They are fearful that you will re-offend and harm another child.” The parole board decided instead that the killer’s “risk to re-offend will not be undue,” and noted that he now takes “arousal reducing medication.” On September 2, he was granted 60-day unescorted absences from prison. Hopper notes that this is standard practice in Canada.

Earlier this year, in fact, Darren Scott Ray was also granted unescorted temporary absences from prison, triggering this public warning from the Durham Regional Police Service on March 2: “Durham Regional Police Service is warning the public about a high-risk offender who has been released into the community. This individual has a history of serious criminal convictions including first degree murder.” Ray is serving time for the 1986 murder of 14-year-old Darren Pepin, whom he sodomized, tortured, and strangled.

In May, Marie Mangoon – one of two people convicted of the first-degree violent murder of 6-year-old Meika Jordan after days of prolonged abuse – was also granted supervised absences from jail in May. Brian Boucher, convicted of sexually abusing two boys, was granted statutory release but had it revoked this month after new alleged incidents and child porn charges. Serial sexual offender Allen Chow, released in March 2025 after serving two-thirds of his sentence, also had his statutory release revoked after new alleged offences.

A bill from the two parties backing Prime Minister Luís Montenegro would oblige illegal migrants and non-residents to pay for treatment, with an exception for emergencies.

The two parties that support Portugal’s minority Government have tabled a bill requiring foreigners in the country illegally, and non-residents, to pay for treatment under the national health service or prove they are covered.

The Social Democratic Party (PSD) and the CDS – People’s Party (CDS-PP) registered the text in the Assembly of the Republic on September 25. It would amend the 2019 health framework law that sets out who qualifies for the Serviço Nacional de Saúde (SNS).

Portuguese citizens and foreigners legally resident or temporarily staying in the country would remain beneficiaries. That covers nationals of European Union member states, third-country nationals, stateless people and applicants for international protection.

Those in an irregular situation or not resident in Portugal would instead pay for the care they received, or produce proof of cover from an insurer, an international agreement or another party legally responsible.

Emergency and life-saving treatment would still be given regardless of status, though patients would afterwards have to supply the necessary documentation. The bill would also require the law to set out how those liable are identified and costs recovered, including guarantees or advance payment.

PSD and CDS-PP base part of their case on a November 27, 2024 report by the health inspectorate IGAS. It concluded that about 330,000 foreigners not resident in Portugal were treated in SNS hospital emergency departments between 2021 and September 2024, more than 140,000 of them without insurance or an international agreement covering that care.

The two parties argue in the bill’s preamble that a growing number of third-country nationals travel to Portugal to obtain free treatment, in some cases through illegal networks. They hold the Socialist Party and the rest of the parliamentary left responsible for the current wording of the law.

The initiative is a revival. A similar text cleared a first vote in the previous parliament with the backing of Chega, the right-wing party now the largest opposition force, but lapsed when early elections were called.

Communist Party leader Paulo Raimundo rejected the plan on September 26, saying the government was diverting attention from the real problems of the SNS, the shortage of health professionals and the lack of investment. He also pointed to the 26 million tourists who visit Portugal each year.

The bill still has to be debated and voted on, so nothing changes yet. It follows a run of migration measures in a country whose foreign population has grown sharply, among them a law enacted in September that speeds up the expulsion of illegal migrants after Chega abstained.

Prime Minister Luís Montenegro has also criticised what he called a lack of rules on migration flows in Europe, saying some governments pursue policies that act as a pull factor.

Emotional scenes filmed in parliament last night as former Minister of Culture, Balázs Hankó bid farewell to his wife and children, before voluntarily handing himself in to prosecutors. Out of the three politicians, whose immunity was lifted by a unanimous vote in parliament yesterday by TISZA MP’s, only Péter Magyar, investigated for theft of property, remains at large.

“Neo-communist tactics. The autocrats of the TISZA camp are raising taxes, driving up petrol prices to the skies, and ruining the Hungarian economy.

“Our message to every Hungarian is this: the autocrats of the TISZA camp will not break the community of the national side—we will not let them! They cannot imprison half the country”, posted former Prime Minister Viktor Orbán on his social media platform. The FIDESZ leader has also posted a live video of Mr. Hankó saying goodbye to his visibly shaken children and wife, who have accompanied him to his journey to the headquarters of the National Tax and Customs Administration in Budapest, where prosecutors have detained him.

The detention of the Hungarian MP is interpreted by many as an act of intimidation against conservative Hungarians. As Mr. Hankó’s lawyer explained yesterday, none of the specific grounds for arrest applied to his client. “In the case of Balázs Hankó, the possibility of reoffending is ruled out; he will not go into hiding, nor can he destroy evidence,” stated lawyer Gábor M. Tóth.

Mr. Hankó’s case involves the so called National Cultural Fund (NKA), where prosecutors claim that he, as the institution’s chair, was responsible for misappropriation of NKA funds. Investigators allege that over EUR 50 million was paid out in breach of the law. They also claim that funds were diverted to election campaign events instead of being used for supporting cultural initiatives. The former minister denies these claims and has vowed to refute all the accusations “point by point”.

On social media platforms, messages from thousands of TISZA supporters have flooded the comment sections and hundreds of often offensive memes have celebrated the demise of the FIDESZ politician. However, on the conservative side the move is interpreted as the salvo to a purge against conservative politicians.

András László, MEP for FIDESZ wrote on X saying that “the era of political show trials is back! Today the authoritarian rule in Hungary reached a new low. The judiciary is acting on the PM’s personal instructions. Two months ago, during a heated outburst at the session of the Hungarian Parliament, PM Péter Magyar accused Balázs Hankó, the former Minister for Culture and now opposition MP, and threatened him with imprisonment. When Hankó rose to speak to refute the false allegations, Péter Magyar instructed the Speaker of the House to cut him off and called on the MPs from the TISZA party to publicly humiliate him.”

“Péter Magyar announced the politically motivated proceeding IN ADVANCE on social media. All of this constitutes a serious violation of the independence of the judiciary. And the PM does not even care to pretend that the judiciary is independent”, wrote the Hungarian politician.

The era of political show trials are back!

Today the authoritarian rule in Hungary reached a new low.
The judiciary is acting on the PM's personal instructions.

Two months ago, during a heated outburst at the session of the Hungarian Parliament, PM Péter Magyar accused Balázs… https://t.co/epVJdlWGPj

— András LÁSZLÓ MEP 🇭🇺 (@laszloan) September 28, 2026

For his part, Magyar went on a conspicuously theatrical rant against the Office of the Prosecutor General, slamming it for “grouping together” the immunity cases concerning the Prime Minister and two former ministers of the Orbán government. The Prime Minister stated that the intention had been to place him in an awkward position and perhaps obscure the “complicity of the Office of the Prosecutor General and the investigative prosecutor’s office in the crimes of the Orbán regime.” Instead, they achieved the exact opposite: they exposed themselves, Magyar claimed.

If polls are to be believed, the TISZA government still enjoys the support of the majority of Hungarian voters, who are now fed a constant stream of propaganda from the now almost exclusively government loyalist press in Hungary, and pro-TISZA public broadcasters. Despite the repression unfolding after the April elections that is unprecedented in post-communist Hungary, such as the removal of the President of the Republic, the dismissal of the Prosecutor General or that of the Head of the Constitutional Court, EU leaders have exclusively been showering praise at the Magyar government, even releasing previously withheld funds, such as Erasmus.

German government politicians are particularly enthusiastic about the latest developments in Hungary, with Defense Minister Boris Pistorius (SPD) saying during his official visit last week that “Hungary inspires courage in many people, because here the people have shown that democracy can flourish even within an authoritarian system”. Marcus Söder, leader of the CSU, has also expressed his “delight at the election victory of Péter Magyar and the TISZA Party”, during a recent visit, reinforcing opinions that the Magyar regime is following a German textbook in its crackdown on the conservative opposition and in initiating lawfare against its political opponents.

German authorities have frozen €5.9 million ($6.5 million) in assets of an operator of a fast-growing intensive-care nursing service. She is now in custody over allegations that the company billed public health insurers for services that were never fully provided or were performed by unqualified staff, causing an estimated €11 million in damage.

Zeynep C., 39, a Turkish national who rose from supermarket work to run White Angels Intensive Care, was arrested Sept. 17 during coordinated raids involving more than 200 officers from police, customs and financial crime units. The case is making major headlines, also in part due to the luxury lifestyle she was living.

Her 44-year-old German husband was also detained. Both remain in pretrial custody.

Thirteen people ages 20 to 54 — of Turkish, Moroccan, Egyptian and German nationality, some with dual citizenship — are also under investigation.

The Wuppertal public prosecutor’s office, which specializes in health-care billing fraud, said investigations began in December 2025 after anonymous tips. Over eight months, detectives examined a network of companies centered in the Düsseldorf and Mettmann area that provided outpatient intensive care, including home ventilation and palliative services, to severely ill patients.

Prosecutors allege the group billed statutory health insurers for intensive-care hours that were not delivered or were incomplete, and that some care was given by staff lacking the required qualifications. 

“They must keep qualified personnel available around the clock for seriously ill patients. Those are considerable wage costs that an employer also has to bear,” Chief Prosecutor Wolf-Tilman Baumert told WDR. Using unqualified workers or billing for nonexistent care made “huge profits” possible, he said.

Company records reviewed by investigators showed explosive growth. After roughly eight months of operation under its current name, the service posted about €1 million in profit by the end of 2023. Profit rose to nearly €3 million in 2024, with €11 million in revenue projected for 2025 — a figure that now matches the estimated total loss to insurers. The firm, previously called CAN-Vefa GmbH, marketed itself as offering “culturally sensitive care” with a multilingual team.

During the searches of 31 homes, offices and practices across North Rhine-Westphalia and one site in Hesse, officers found a care-dependent child in a Düsseldorf apartment in “very poor health.” The child was taken by ambulance to a hospital for inpatient treatment; child-protection officials were notified. Authorities said any proven neglect of patients would be an aggravating factor in the case.

Seized items included several luxury vehicles registered as company cars — a Maybach, Mercedes-AMG models and a purple Lamborghini — plus €51,000 in cash, jewelry valued at €265,000, gold worth about €10,000, designer handbags and watches totaling more than €150,000. Mortgages totaling €3.3 million were placed on properties. At the couple’s home in Mettmann, police also recovered a loaded firearm, marijuana and anabolic steroids. A doctor’s stamp, which investigators believe used to forge prescriptions, was among the documents seized.

Zeynep C. had cultivated a public image of success. Photos circulated in German media showed her wearing Chanel-branded clothing and accessories alongside images of the seized Lamborghini being towed. Prosecutors are examining whether the luxury spending was financed by the alleged fraud.

The Düsseldorf-based nursing company itself has not been shut down and continues under a different manager, according to local reports. No charges have been filed yet, and the investigation is still underway. 

Billing fraud of this scale, if proven as commercial and organized, can carry prison terms of up to 10 years under German law. If prosecutors discover children and other patients were left untreated or poorly treated due to fictional or inadequate care services, the length of potential prison sentences could expand significantly.

A Sudanese asylum seeker has been jailed after setting fire to a hotel in Bradford with 170 people inside.

Bradford Crown Court was told that Mohammed Abdalla, 28, set off the blaze after he was ordered to leave the Bradford Hotel on Hall Ings because of his poor behaviour on October 31 last year.

At the time of the fire, more than 160 asylum seekers were in the hotel, while there were 10 members of staff on shift.

Recorder Ella Anderson, sentencing, told the Sudanese migrant: “Your actions put all of those people at risk.”

Tayo Dasaolu, prosecuting, told the court that the asylum seeker had been hanging around the lobby with his luggage for hours, repeatedly demanding to be allowed back into his room.

After being allowed to do so, the fire alarm went off, sending staff racing to the second floor of the hotel.

Mr Dasaolu said: “When the security staff saw the defendant he was sitting on a chair on the landing smiling at them.”

The fire erupted by the television and desk area of the room and caused over £4,000 worth of damage.

In mitigation, his lawyer, Imran Khan, told the court that Abdalla had been experiencing mental health issues and had been in hospital 10 days before the blaze.

Mr Khan added that Abdalla had since made a recovery after taking medication while behind bars.

The Sudanese migrant admitted arson being reckless as to whether life is endangered at Bradford Crown Court and was sentenced to two years and seven months in prison.

The judge described the fire as “extremely serious” and praised the response by the members of staff in tackling the blaze.

She told the court: “There were 150 to 160 residents and 10 members of staff.

“There was a significant risk of serious physical harm given the environment and how populated this hotel was.”

Abdalla received the same prison sentence as Lucy Connolly – who merely posted on social media about setting fire to a hotel.

Mrs Connolly, 42, was jailed for stirring up racial hatred against asylum seekers online on the day of the Southport murders.

She was handed a 31-month sentence in October after sharing a post on X stating: “Mass deportation now, set fire to all the f****** hotels full of the b****** for all I care… if that makes me racist so be it.”

Mrs Connolly deleted the posts three and a half hours later, after they were viewed over 310,000 times.

She pleaded guilty to inciting racial hatred by publishing and distributing “threatening or abusive” written material on X and was jailed at Birmingham Crown Court in October 2024.

The former childminder was ordered to serve 40 per cent of her sentence in prison before being released on licence.

The daughter of one of Germany’s most influential conservative intellectuals has been barred from entering the State teaching profession after authorities raised concerns about her links to her father’s cultural network.

The case highlights a phenomenon that has surfaced repeatedly in Germany in recent years: people without criminal convictions being denied access to public positions or facing other forms of discrimination because of their political associations with the Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) and the country’s broader conservative milieu.

Alruna Hauser, the daughter of publisher and political writer Götz Kubitschek, had completed her studies in German and school music in Dresden, in the eastern German state of Saxony, and passed her State examination. She was due to begin her teacher-training placement at the Gymnasium Dresden-Cotta, a State secondary school in the city, on August 10, 2026.

Hauser has no criminal record or pending criminal proceedings. She is not a politician, has never held public office, has no social media presence and had never appeared publicly before the controversy surrounding her case.

Saxony’s State Office for Schools and Education (Landesamt für Schule und Bildung) nevertheless withdrew an admission that had already been granted after concerns were raised internally about her association with her father and her commitment to Germany’s constitutional order, prompting the authorities to seek an assessment from Saxony’s Office for the Protection of the Constitution, the state’s domestic intelligence agency.

The agency reported that Hauser had regularly attended public events organised by her father.

The Dresden Administrative Court rejected her challenge, and on September 21, 2026 the Saxon Higher Administrative Court in Bautzen rejected her appeal in case 2 B 264/26. The decision is final and cannot be appealed.

Her father, Götz Kubitschek, is a prominent publisher and political writer who has played an important role in Germany’s conservatism and in the intellectual environment surrounding the AfD.

Kubitschek is the founder and publisher of Antaios, a publishing house based in the village of Schnellroda, in the neighbouring state of Saxony-Anhalt, where he lives with his family. It specialises in political and philosophical works associated with the German New Right. He is also the publisher of Sezession, a political and cultural magazine that has become an important platform for right-wing intellectuals.

Kubitschek has never held office within the AfD and has never been a party member. His influence has instead operated largely outside the party’s formal structures, through publishing, conferences and political networks.

German reporting has documented his links with prominent AfD figures, particularly Björn Höcke, while other senior AfD politicians, including Alice Weidel, Alexander Gauland and Maximilian Krah, have also appeared at events associated with the wider Schnellroda milieu.

Kubitschek himself has not been convicted of a crime. The controversy surrounding him and his organisations concerns their political, cultural and ideological activities.

Kubitschek and his activities have been under scrutiny by Germany’s domestic intelligence services for years — a practice his supporters and critics of the agency regard as politically motivated. The role of the domestic intelligence services has itself become politically contentious. The agency operates under the administrative and operational supervision of the Federal Ministry of the Interior.

Critics accuse the intelligence services of being politically directed and of using their powers to stigmatise or restrict political opponents and the wider AfD milieu. Hauser herself has questioned the neutrality of the authorities involved in her case.

According to the court, Hauser regularly attended events in Schnellroda between 2022 and 2025, including book presentations and lectures. Those events were run by the Institut für Staatspolitik, a think tank her father co-founded in 2000 and which Saxony-Anhalt’s intelligence agency classified as “confirmed right-wing extremist” in 2019, the federal service following in 2023. The institute was dissolved in 2024, though its seminars continued in Schnellroda under a new body. The authorities treated her participation as evidence relevant to whether she supported the organisation’s objectives.

Hauser argues that Schnellroda is her family home and that attending public events there should not automatically be interpreted as political activism.

The Saxon authorities nevertheless asked the state constitutional-protection agency to assess her activities. According to the court, the agency concluded that her repeated participation in the institute’s events amounted to support for an organisation pursuing what the authorities considered anti-constitutional objectives.

Hauser disputes that interpretation. She says she completed her studies and practical placements without being politically conspicuous and argues that the proceedings are ultimately about the political conflict surrounding her family rather than her suitability as a teacher.

The ruling has drawn criticism from Hauser and commentators. Hauser told the Berliner Zeitung that “this is a political procedure” and argued that the case was being used to make an example of her. In a separate interview with Tichys Einblick, she said: “It is not about me. An example is supposed to be made here.”

Commentator Alan Posener described the decision in Die Welt as resembling Sippenhaftung — collective punishment based on family association — and warned of what he called “dangerous illiberalism”.

Saxony’s culture minister Conrad Clemens, of the Christian Democratic Union (CDU), defended the outcome, saying there was no place for extremists in the state’s schools.

The Hauser case is the latest flashpoint in a wider German controversy over what critics on the right describe as growing political discrimination against conservatives and the broader AfD milieu. From the historic Berufsverbot — the practice of screening applicants for public-sector jobs for their political loyalty — to recent cases involving AfD-linked teachers, police officers and civil servants, political associations are once again carrying professional consequences, even where no criminal offence is involved.

More than 220 people who stood as AfD candidates in elections over the previous five years currently work in Germany’s public sector, including 63 teachers, 49 police officers, 40 administrative officials and 24 soldiers, and some could face professional consequences depending on how their political activities are assessed, according to an analysis published on May 20, 2025 by the ARD political magazine Report Mainz.

German authorities insist that AfD membership alone does not justify exclusion and that each case must be assessed individually. Critics argue, though, that constitutional-loyalty rules are being applied in ways that can turn political affiliation — and, in Hauser’s case, even family and social associations — into a professional liability.

Everything is going according to plan.

While the UK has swapped out its previous prime minister, Keir Starmer, who failed to prosecute Muslim sex grooming gangs while heading the Crown Prosecution Service, for current PM Andy Burnham, who did little about Muslim sex grooming gangs when he was mayor of Greater Manchester, Shabana Mahmood, a Pakistani Muslim, has been heading up the UK’s security and immigration ministry.

Mahmood has promised a swift crackdown on illegal migration, but don’t worry, it’s a swift crackdown on Christian and non-Muslim migrants.

According to Oxford’s Migration Observatory, “the number of asylum seekers in the UK reached the highest number on record in 2024 with claims from people from Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iran, and Bangladesh making up one-third of the total.”

Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood is threatening a visa ban on Angola, Namibia and the Democratic Republic of Congo unless they take back their migrants.

What do these countries have in common? They’re 90%+ Christian.

Now, Mahmood will be ‘fast tracking’ Muslim migrants from terrorist states.

Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood is set to announce a new legal route for vulnerable refugees which will fast-track them towards permanent settlement in the UK.

The scheme will target the “most vulnerable” refugees, including women and girls in Afghanistan, Palestinians with critical medical needs and survivors of torture.

Those accepted will be granted immediate indefinite leave to remain, unlike other refugees whose status is reviewed every 30 months.

A former Hamas bodyguard was given asylum and citizenship in the UK before “plotting” a terrorist attack, it was revealed yesterday.

No Christians allowed, Muslim terrorists however will fast tracked. Everything is going according to plan. And the plan is the conquest of the UK.

In Toulouse, a 93-year-old handicapped woman has been found murdered in her home. Arrested by police at the scene was a 30-year-old man, who was nude and in a dazed state. He is not further identified but is reportedly in France illegally. An officer was injured during the arrest.

Meanwhile, Pope Leo is in Lourdes lecturing the French as to why people like this guy should be allowed to stay in France.
