Month: October 2026

Polish President Karol Nawrocki aborted a state visit to Senegal mid-flight on Friday and, by 1 a.m. Saturday, had pushed past police and a cordon of judges into Poland’s Constitutional Tribunal. Hours earlier, a judge elected by Prime Minister Donald Tusk’s parliamentary majority, one the president never swore in, had declared herself head of the court, suspended its president and vice president, and brought in riot police to secure the building. The court’s own leadership called it a coup d’état. It happened with Donald Tusk’s justice minister calling in the police and Tusk’s public blessing, and by the plain text of Poland’s Constitution, it was unlawful.

Riot police ringing a state institution, an unsworn judge proclaiming herself in charge, the ousted chief justice cutting through the chains on his own court’s gate: it reads like a dispatch from a coup in Africa, not from a NATO ally and EU member state in the heart of Europe.

What this would look like in America

Imagine the President is overseas when a judge, one whose appointment the President never finalized, walks into the Supreme Court and declares herself Chief Justice. She suspends the sitting Chief Justice and his deputy, and police called in by her and the Attorney General ring the building. The Chief Justice finds the gate chained shut, cuts his way onto his own court’s grounds, and is turned back by riot police. That same night, the Attorney General moves to strip the Chief Justice and his deputy of their immunity from prosecution, and hands the paperwork to the judge who just ousted them. The President flies home and has to push past her to get into the building.

Americans would call that a constitutional crisis. Tusk calls it “restoring the rule of law.” Poland’s Constitution says otherwise.

The president Poles chose

Nawrocki is no accidental head of state. Polish voters elected him directly in June 2025, defeating Tusk’s own hand-picked candidate, Warsaw mayor Rafał Trzaskowski, with 50.89% of the vote in the runoff. (CNN via Yahoo)

He is now Poland’s most trusted politician. In September’s CBOS poll, 53% of Poles said they trust him; only 37% said the same of Tusk. (Rzeczpospolita)

The head of state the Polish people elected, and still back, flew home to defend the court. The prime minister whom most Poles distrust stood behind the police who locked it down.

Friday night: the court is seized

On Friday evening, seven judges chosen by the current Sejm entered the Tribunal. Judge Anna Korwin-Piotrowska announced that, as the longest-serving among them, she was now acting head of the court, and suspended Chief Justice Bogdan Święczkowski and his deputy, Bartłomiej Sochański, for one month. Police removed the court’s own security and deployed riot units, citing letters from Korwin-Piotrowska and from Prosecutor General Waldemar Żurek, who is also Tusk’s justice minister. (Notes from Poland, GB News)

That same evening, Żurek filed motions to strip Święczkowski and Sochański of their immunity from prosecution, and delivered them to the court’s “longest-serving judge”: Korwin-Piotrowska. (Notes from Poland)

Święczkowski arrived to find the gate chained shut behind a police cordon. PiS MP Mariusz Gosek went at the chain with bolt cutters, then a protester who said he was a locksmith cut through the fastening with a power tool, sparks flying, on Święczkowski’s orders. The chief justice walked up to the riot line holding his official ID and demanded to be let into his own court. Refused, he told the crowd they would not fight the police and promised to return with the president. (natemat.pl, Bankier.pl)

Hundreds of protesters gathered through the night, some chanting “Tusk traitor,” as Jarosław Kaczyński called it a coup against the Tribunal. Former Justice Minister Zbigniew Ziobro called it “a blatant, criminal attack on the constitutional order.” Police detained three people after demonstrators breached the fence. U.S. Ambassador Tom Rose called the events “very serious indeed.” (RTÉ, Yahoo News/AP, Fox News)

The president turns his plane around

Nawrocki was over southern Spain when the news broke. “At such a moment, the President must be in Poland,” he posted on X. Around 1 a.m., with Supreme Court First President Zbigniew Kapiński at his side, he arrived at the Tribunal escorting Sochański. Police barred his way but did not stop the head of state, and video shows him pushing past Korwin-Piotrowska and Judge Krystian Markiewicz at the door. (Anadolu, bne IntelliNews)

Inside, the cameras kept rolling. “We are judges of the Constitutional Tribunal,” Korwin-Piotrowska told him. “You are not judges of the Constitutional Tribunal,” Nawrocki answered.

Tusk’s camp tells it differently. Maciej Berek, a close Tusk ally also elected to the Tribunal, claimed the president “physically attacked” the judges, and Żurek called for prosecutors to examine his conduct. (Newsy Today, Saudi Gazette)

At dawn, Nawrocki declared that the constitutional order had been violated by “a forcible takeover of a constitutional body of the state.” He demanded that the forces the government had sent leave the Tribunal and summoned party leaders to emergency talks, citing a threat to Poland’s internal security. (Türkiye Today)

A judge the president never swore in

Under Article 4 of Poland’s Act on the Status of Constitutional Tribunal Judges, new judges must take their oath before the President. In March, the Sejm elected six. Nawrocki accepted two and refused four, Korwin-Piotrowska among them. Parliament swore them in at its own ceremony on April 9, which the president’s office says has no legal basis. (Greek City Times, Euronews)

You wouldn’t learn that from the Associated Press. AP reported only that the Tribunal’s website “announced the suspension” of the court’s president, as if the court itself had acted. It never says who issued the order, never names Korwin-Piotrowska, never mentions the refused oath, and leaves out the Tribunal’s statement that its website had been seized. What AP does give readers is the government’s claim that Święczkowski “repeatedly broke the law,” with no specifics and no mention that no court has found him guilty of anything. (Yahoo News/AP)

Why the court matters to the presidency

Whoever controls the Tribunal referees every clash between the president and the government, from vetoes to pardons to appointments. It settles disputes over powers between the state’s constitutional bodies. (Constitution, Article 189)

It also holds a key to the presidency itself. Under Article 131 of the Constitution, if the president cannot notify the Speaker of the Sejm that he is unable to serve, the Tribunal, at the Speaker’s request, decides whether he is impeded, and the Speaker takes over his duties. The Speaker is a member of Tusk’s coalition. (Adam Mickiewicz University)

PiS MEP Dominik Tarczyński argues in a video circulating on X that the coalition also wants a friendly court to clear the way for replacing the złoty with the euro, a change that would require amending the Constitution. (Brussels Signal)

A familiar playbook

Tusk has done this before. He promised on the campaign trail to dismantle state television and said public media in its current form did not deserve taxpayer money. (Financial Times via Today in the Markets) Within days of taking office in December 2023, his Culture Minister, Bartłomiej Sienkiewicz, fired the leadership of public broadcaster TVP, Polish Radio and the PAP news agency and installed new management the same day. TVP Info went dark minutes later, and Tusk’s Civic Platform celebrated on X: “The end of TVPiS.” (TVN24)

Dozens of reporters were fired, and when President Andrzej Duda vetoed the funding, the government put the broadcasters into liquidation to keep its managers in place. Morawiecki and Kaczyński called that a coup, too. (NPR/GPB, Notes from Poland)

Tusk is breaking Poland’s Constitution

Tusk defended Friday’s move on X, saying that after years of PiS lawlessness, restoring the rule of law requires decisive action. “There is no other way,” he wrote. In August he had promised to restaff the court, admitting his methods might not be to everyone’s liking. (Yahoo News/AP, Washington Times/AP)

That defense collapses the moment you open Poland’s Constitution. Tusk is not restoring the rule of law. He is breaking it, on four counts.

• The Tribunal’s leadership is the President’s to appoint. Article 194 gives the President of the Republic the power to appoint the Tribunal’s president and vice president. It gives no single judge the power to depose them, least of all a judge the head of state never swore in. (Constitution, Chapter VIII)
• The oath is the law. Statute requires new Tribunal judges to swear their oath before the President, and parliament cannot rewrite that by staging its own ceremony. Even Poland’s human rights commissioner, Marcin Wiącek, no PiS loyalist, has said the law requires the president to swear in Tribunal judges. (Notes from Poland)
• The Tribunal’s rulings are binding. Article 190 makes its judgments final and universally binding, and requires them to be published immediately. Tusk’s government has refused to publish them since 2024, including the ruling that the president is under no obligation to swear in parliament’s picks. (Notes from Poland, Parapolitika)
• The government must act within the law. Article 7 binds every public authority to act on the basis of and within the limits of the law. A government that disagrees with a court can legislate or wait for terms to expire. It cannot send riot police to install its own leadership.

Tusk’s camp leans heavily on an opinion from the Venice Commission, an advisory body in Strasbourg that says the president’s role in the oath should be ceremonial. (Euronews) Its opinions bind no one in Poland; the Polish Constitution does. By that text, what happened on Friday night was not a restoration of the rule of law. It was a government seizing a court it could not lawfully control, and Donald Tusk owns every step of it: the judges his majority installed without the president’s oath, the police his justice minister summoned, and the takeover he defended within hours.

Nawrocki’s emergency talks with party leaders began Saturday afternoon, and the first through the door came from Tusk’s own coalition: Deputy Prime Minister Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz and Szymon Hołownia, who said the court needed fixing but force was the wrong way to do it. (TVN24, Goniec)

The talks were still underway at the time of publication. For now, Poland has two rival groups each claiming to be its highest court, police holding the building, and a year until the parliamentary elections that will decide who keeps it.

French-inspired leftist riots have broken out in Germany, with police coming under attack in cities including Frankfurt and Hamburg as darkness descended on the country.

A disparate group of leftist organisations staged “Gen Z Takes Charge” protests in around 30 cities throughout Germany on Saturday. According to public broadcaster NDR, groups who took part in the demonstrations included animal rights activists, communist and socialist organisations, vegans, and pro-Palestine campaigners, among others.

The protests, which were held in a bid to emulate the youth revolt that has thrown France into chaos in recent weeks, were staged against the prospect of a return to military conscription, as well as to protest against various left-wing causes including climate change, to demand more educational funding, to show displeasure with Chancellor Friedrich Merz, and to show displeasure at rising living costs.

While police in Hamburg ordered the demonstration to end at 5 pm local time, many refused to go home and began clashing with police.

The broadcaster reported that rioters gathered around the central bus station in Hamburg, with agitators throwing glass bottles, fireworks, and paving stones at officers. They also built makeshift barricades and set them on fire. Many of those engaged in battle with the police were seen dressed in black and wearing masks.

Meanwhile, a truck following the demonstrators urged them to continue to clash with police from a loudspeaker, which proclaimed that they were against the system, police, and the state.

“We are still patrolling the area because small groups are still out trying to throw small items into the street and set them on fire. And we are preventing that,” a police spokesman told NDR.

The Hamburg State Office for the Protection of the Constitution and the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution both warned prior to the demonstration that there was a strong likelihood of far-left groups seeking to exploit the protests for violent ends, including the Open Antifascist Meeting Hamburg, the Red Construction, the Interventionist Left, and Thawra Hamburg.

This has also been the case in neighbouring France, where intelligence services have estimated that there are around 5,000 far-left trained Antifa agitators who infiltrate left-wing protests.

Their aim has apparently been to spark unrest by attacking police or government buildings, while the less organised multicultural youth served as the main looting force. This pattern was also replicated in Milan, Italy earlier this month.

Separately, multiple police officers were injured during a demonstration in Frankfurt, with the Hesse Interior Ministry saying that “one officer may have sustained more serious injuries, but this still requires further investigation.”

The local ministry said that they “estimate there were approximately 100 left-wing extremist perpetrators. They launched a massive attack on the police with bottles, stones, and pyrotechnics.”

The far-left protests in France have also started to turn violent, with rioters being filmed throwing Molotov cocktails at police officers.

The government deployed some 70,000 officers and gendarmes to help police the Halloween demonstrations in Paris and elsewhere.

Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez claimed that the operation had been a success overall, but admitted that “as expected, in each procession groups of vandals and looters led by the radical far-left movement attacked the security forces.” He said that at the time of this reporting there had been 422 arrests.

A violent rioter in Paris hurled a firebomb directly into a line of French riot police on Saturday afternoon, with the device exploding on an officer and covering his shield, helmet, and body in flames as the officer beside him fell backward to the ground.

The rioters have claimed they are protesting the cost of living and school conditions.

The shocking incident unfolded on a city street in the 12th arrondissement near Porte de Charenton during the third consecutive weekend of nationwide riots.

French journalist Luc Auffret captured the attack on video and posted it to X.

The Paris police prefecture confirmed that a “hard core of several hundred rioters” at the rear of the authorized march attacked officers with projectiles, including at least one Molotov cocktail, as the demonstration arrived at Porte de Charenton.

Masked individuals dressed in black used hammers to pry up paving stones and hurl them at police, while others launched fireworks.

Officers responded with tear gas and baton charges.

French media outlets, including BFMTV and Entrevue, aired footage of the incendiary device exploding near officers, with reports that at least one officer’s leg was injured by the flames.

The Sun reported that one officer’s left leg burned for roughly 30 seconds after a petrol bomb was thrown over him.

Authorities have estimated roughly 320,000 people protested and rioted across France on Saturday, including about 70,000 in Paris.

Many of the protests remained peaceful, but violence broke out in Paris, Lyon, and other cities.

At Place de la République, trash bins, a kiosk, and a car were set on fire.

Poland has been plunged into a fresh constitutional crisis after riot police were deployed around the Constitutional Tribunal in Warsaw following the suspension of its president, Bogdan Święczkowski, and deputy president Bartłomiej Sochański. Protesters gathered outside the court and three people were detained, while President Karol Nawrocki abandoned a trip to Senegal and returned to Warsaw as the confrontation escalated.

The dispute is part of a long-running battle over Poland’s judiciary. Prime Minister Donald Tusk says his government is trying to restore the rule of law after controversial judicial changes made under the previous Law and Justice government. His opponents accuse the government of trying to seize control of the court, while the Tribunal’s official social-media account described events as a “coup d’état”. Legal experts remain divided over the legitimacy of the suspension.

Emma Trimble and Alex Phillips discuss whether the confrontation represents something much bigger, questioning the EU’s influence over Poland and arguing that countries which resist Brussels on migration and sovereignty are being punished.

On today’s show host Rafe Heydel-Mankoo and panellists Connie Shaw of the Free Speech Union, David Oldroyd-Bolt of the International Reagan Thatcher Centre & independent journalist Jack Hadfield discuss:

• Burnham accuses other British political parties of “Islamophobia” whilst considering appointment of an Islamophobia Tsar
• The Economist acknowledges ethnic crime rate disparity but tries to play it down.
• Caribbean nations seek to exploit naive Western guilt to get reparations for slavery

The mayor of the German city of Frankfurt (Oder), Axel Strasser, has called on residents to demonstrate greater civic courage after bystanders did nothing as a group of teenagers repeatedly punched and kicked a 14-year-old student, including to the head, while he lay on the ground outside a high school earlier this month. Now, critics are calling his statement a recognition of the failure of state authority.

After a security conference with police, prosecutors, schools, youth welfare, and immigration authorities, Strasser, an independent, said it was unacceptable that people stood by without intervening. “We truly appeal to this urban society to show civic courage,” he said.

The attack occurred on Oct. 14 outside the Heinrich-von-Kleist High School. Video of the assault, which circulated widely on social media, showed roughly 10 teenagers surrounding the victim, striking him and continuing the assault after he fell.

The German government implemented a policy of mass migration, which has resulted in mob beatings and bullying of German students across the country. Now, government officials are calling on citizens to put their lives on the line and intervene in these mob beatings, including in this latest case in Frankfurt (Oder).

A commentary published by Lennart Zielke in Ostdeutsche Allgemeine, titled “Youth Violence in Brandenburg: The State Gives Up – The Citizen Is Supposed to Put Himself in Mortal Danger,” calls the appeal an admission of state failure. The piece argues that urging ordinary bystanders to intervene shifts the risk onto unarmed civilians who lack training, protection, or backup in confrontations with groups of attackers.

“You just have to imagine the scene in concrete terms. A group of violent youths, the perpetrators outnumbered the witnesses, the situation is confusing, and there are possibly knives or firearms involved. And now the average citizen is supposed to intervene – without training, without protection, without support. Anyone who intervenes is highly likely to end up in the hospital,” wrote Zielke.

Individuals on social media also highlighted the absurdity of asking the general public to step in to perform law enforcement actions.

“Since politics is failing—or, better said, has no desire to change anything—Mayor Strasser from Frankfurt/Oder is calling for more civic courage to be expected. He can go ahead and stand up to a horde of 20 migrants if he feels like it. I won’t!” wrote one user.

Remix News broadly covered the beating video, including police statements threatening prosecution for publishing the video.

Authorities are investigating nine suspects, ages 13 to 15, who hold Polish, Russian, Syrian, and German nationality. They face allegations of dangerous bodily harm; earlier reports also referenced robbery. Police have spoken with the suspects and their families.

Strasser described the incident as “the first case of this dimension” in the city and said everyone immediately recognized the drama of the situation. Unlike recent group attacks in Potsdam that involved more entrenched youth structures, this case does not, according to officials.

The city and police plan heightened presence near schools after the autumn holidays, parent conferences, and anti-bullying efforts. An investigative team is active. The victim is receiving intensive support through the school and relevant authorities; youth welfare is examining further measures. “Offers of help are available and will be accepted,” Strasser said.

Residence-law options are under review, but Strasser said he sees little prospect of success. He added that there will be no simple solutions to rising youth violence in Germany or the influence of social media.

Brandenburg Integration Minister René Wilke (SPD) is pressing for accelerated reviews of protection status for Syrian suspects. He said 16 cases linked to violence incidents in Potsdam and Frankfurt (Oder) — including five minors in the latter — have been reported to the Federal Office for Migration and Refugees so their status can be checked more quickly. “We have asked that the examination be brought forward,” Wilke said. Revocation of protected status can lead to deportation but does not automatically do so; each case requires individual assessment that can take months.

“If a child is out of control and the family shows no integration efforts, it can become tight,” he noted.

Interior Minister Jan Redmann (CDU) has spoken of influence from the “gangster-rapper milieu” and people who boast about their acts online. Redmann has also pointed to integration shortfalls in some cases and said authorities will use available tools of criminal and residence law, while stressing rapid action to stop the violence.

The attack prompted an AfD demonstration that drew up to a thousand people. The party pointed to migrant violence and called for deportations, including the families of perpetrators.

Strasser has said the city will not simply return to business as usual. He has also emphasized that protection granted in Germany is not deserved by those who abuse it so brutally, while stressing coordinated action by security authorities regardless of the origin of the suspect.

As Remix News has reported in the past, 40 percent of all violent crime suspects in German schools are foreigners.

Here’s the latest on the coup-d-etat by leftist President Donald Tusk in Poland.

Hero Polish President Karol Nawrocki turned the presidential plane around over Spain and flew back to Poland during the crisis. He fought through lines of police outside the Constitutional Tribunal and went INSIDE the country’s highest constitutional court to restore order!

🚨 JUST IN: Polish President Karol Nawrocki just went INSIDE the country's highest constitutional court and told the pro-EU tyrants to SHOVE IT, they are NOT the legitimate judges and their takeover is DONE

A political and constitutional crisis unfolded at Poland’s Constitutional Tribunal (Trybunał Konstytucyjny) in Warsaw on Friday evening. Judge Anna Korwin-Piotrowska (aligned with the government of Prime Minister Donald Tusk) announced the suspension of the tribunal’s president, Bogdan Święczkowski, and his deputy, and claimed interim control. The existing leadership and the right-wing opposition (including Law and Justice/PiS) rejected this, calling it a “coup d’état.”

According to reports, Anna Korwin-Piotrowska did not have the legal authority to do this.

Critics (including lawyers quoted in Polish media such as Rzeczpospolita) argued this lacks a clear legal basis: the proper procedure for suspending the TK president is reserved to the General Assembly of TK judges, a single judge cannot unilaterally do so, and the ordinary-courts provision does not cleanly transfer to the Constitutional Tribunal.

That’s why the event was labeled a coup by the Polish people.

On Friday night, Polish people sang “Rota,” a historic Polish patriotic anthem, outside the Constitutional Tribunal.

The people are rising up against the globalist President Donald Tusk.

🇵🇱 BREAKING FROM POLAND! Right now, Poles are singing “Rota,” a historic Polish patriotic anthem, outside the Constitutional Tribunal. Their voices rise into the cold night: “So help us God!”!

Excellent synopsis by Matt Van Swol.

“Imagine if Democrats won Congress, declared the Supreme Court didn’t count anymore, ignored its rulings for 3 years, and then, a year before the next election, picked 8 new justices of their own, including a man their leader called his “right-hand man,” and when the Republican president refused to swear them in, they swore themselves in and mailed him the paperwork, and when the Chief Justice said that wasn’t legal and wouldn’t seat them, they waited for a Friday night when the president was on a plane to Africa and had federal security officers who answer to a Democratic cabinet member walk 7 of them into the court through a back gate connected to the Democratic leader’s own offices, where one of them announced she had “suspended” the Chief Justice, a move that even a law professor who openly can’t stand him said had no legal basis, and then riot police blocked the Chief Justice from entering his own court, the court’s website was taken over, the Attorney General moved that same night to strip his immunity so he could be prosecuted, the president had to turn his plane around mid-flight to come home, and the same people who spent years lecturing everyone about respecting the courts went online to say this was the rule of law, that it was painful, and that there was “no other way,” which is roughly where Poland is tonight.”

The BBC has sparked fury after penning a “pathetic” biography of Adolf Hitler, which fails to address the Holocaust.

Key events and figures from the dictator’s regime were excluded from the broadcaster’s narrative of Adolf Hitler: From Childhood to Dictator, which was designed as a learning resource for GCSE pupils.

The short biography attempts to draw a comprehensive timeline of events of the Nazi’s life, from birth, to the rise of the Nazis, to his rule over Germany until his death – but appears to omit a number of atrocities committed against the Jews.

As a result, the corporation has been urged to revise the “woefully inadequate” resource, stressing that combatting antisemitism begins at school.

A spokesman for Campaign Against Antisemitism told GB News: “How can the BBC teach about Nazi Germany with no meaningful reference to the Holocaust?

“This pathetic attempt at educating students is so alarmingly vacant of key historical references that it almost reads as a whitewash of the Nazi dictator’s brutality.

“At a time when antisemitism in schools is at a record heigh, how can we expect the situation to improve if our resources even on Holocaust education – let alone contemporary antisemitism – are so woefully inadequate Combatting antisemitism starts with education, and the BBC must urgently revise this resource.”

The document stresses the Austrian “was not born a brutal tyrant”, urging readers to “explore Hitler’s life and discover the road that led to destruction”.

The biography also excludes any mention of Kristallnacht (the Night of Broken Glass), the night the Nazis ordered violent riots against European Jews.

Overnight, the SS, the SA and Hitler Youth destroyed around 1,400 synagogues and prayer rooms, murdering 100 Jews as rioters smashed windows of around 7,500 Jewish-owned stores.

The police and SS arrested roughly 30,000 Jewish men, deporting them to concentration camps such as Dachau, Buchenwald, and Sachsenhausen.

But the BBC Bitesize depiction of Hitler’s life opted to sweep over the night altogether.

The document says that the Nazis “tried” to exclude Jews and other groups from public life since 1933, when the Nuremberg Laws were in place.

It adds: “Hitler characterised the laws as an effort to ‘achieve the legislative regulation of a problem which, if it breaks down again, will then have to be transferred by law to the National Socialist Party for final solution’.”

In its entirety, the page mentions “Jews” or “Jewish” on five occasions, none of which relate to the Holocaust.

It then goes on to omit that Hitler’s invasion of the USSR led to the systematic shooting of more than a million Jewish men, women and children in 1941.

Nor is there any mention of the Wannsee Conference which took place the following year where senior Nazi officials planned the logistics of the “Final Solution to the Jewish Question” – as well as a number of other key events.

High-ranking Nazi officials responsible for the Holocaust were ommitted from the learning resource, including Heinrich Himmler, Reinhard Heydrich, Hermann Göring and Joseph Goebbels.

A BBC spokesman claimed the timeline of Hitler’s life was not a biography – despite the 2,400 document appearing to cover events from the failed artist’s childhood, adolescence and military career up until his death.

They added: “It is a single page, which includes reference to the horror of the Holocaust, and is designed for teachers to be used alongside extensive materials covering the Second World War, Hitler’s rise to power and a range of resources on the Holocaust.”

French authorities have blocked a high-profile gathering dedicated to the concept of “remigration”, issuing blanket bans on a weekend symposium and a street demonstration in the Paris region.

The intervention was spearheaded by Minister of the Interior Laurent Nuñez, targeting events organised by the Objectif Remigration (Objective Remigration) collective and the Polémia think tank.

The bans were issued on October 29 by the prefect of Hauts-de-Seine and the Paris police prefecture, which said it had acted at the minister’s request.

Officials cited acute risks to public order, referencing local security concerns and widespread tensions following recent incidents, notably the October 23 attack in Trappes and La Verrière, in the Yvelines department west of Paris.

One man, Pengo Bossio Wangi, was killed and seven people were injured in the shooting. French media have reported that the suspect, identified as Kevin T., admitted to targeting Muslims and Africans.

According to Bondy Blog, the Hauts-de-Seine order also stated that the concept of remigration seriously undermined human dignity and cited past convictions of several speakers for hate speech offences.

The weekend agenda was set to feature a colloquium titled “Remigration: Let’s open the debate” on October 31 at the Maison des Arts in Le Plessis-Robinson, Hauts-de-Seine, alongside a planned nationalist protest in the capital on November 1.

Prominent figures associated with the European identitarian movement — including French essayist Renaud Camus, former National Front MEP Jean-Yves Le Gallou and high-profile Austrian activist Martin Sellner — were slated to speak or host book-signing sessions.

Le Figaro reported that Reconquête party leader Éric Zemmour was also expected to take part. Sellner, author of the book Remigration, had been due to sign copies at a bookshop in Paris’ 7th arrondissement on October 30.

Instead, local prefectural decrees barred the gatherings and Sellner was stopped on arrival at Beauvais-Tillé airport, in the Oise department north of Paris, on October 29 and served with an administrative ban from French territory.

Critics were quick to point out the irony of the situation as a movement explicitly built around campaigning for the mass expulsion and repatriation of foreign nationals found a leading international figure locked out at the border and its organisers grounded by state decree.

Something European governments often claim is impossible to do with illegal migrants turns out to be very easy to use against nationalists, they argued.

The swift executive clampdown drew sharp rebukes from the event organisers, who announced their intention to challenge the prefectural bans in court, denouncing what they termed an infringement on freedom of assembly and speech.

Le Gallou, president of Polémia, took to X to denounce what he termed a “government in disarray” and a “liberticidal delusion”.

He announced that they had instructed lawyer Jérôme Triomphe to file an emergency fast-track legal challenge (référé-liberté) to overturn the prohibitions. The administrative court in Cergy-Pontoise was due to hear the case at 2pm today.

Objectif Remigration spokesman Stanislas Tyl said the collective would lodge its own urgent appeal against the ban on the Paris march.

“You can stop people but not ideas,” Sellner wrote on X, announcing what he described as his arrest. “Remigration will happen in spite of that.” He said he expected to be sent back to Austria today.

Fellow activist and Dutch commentator Eva Vlaardingerbroek argued that Sellner broke no law and was persecuted for political reasons. She added that he was travelling as an Austrian citizen within the Schengen zone, meaning there should not even be border checks.

In May 2024, an administrative court in Potsdam blocked a German entry ban on Sellner, ruling the city had failed to show he posed a sufficiently serious threat to justify restricting his EU free movement rights.

In November 2025, Switzerland’s Federal Administrative Court declared unlawful a separate 18-day entry ban imposed on him by the country’s federal police.

Figures from La France Insoumise (LFI) had lobbied for the shutdown. LFI parliamentary group leader Mathilde Panot posted on X ahead of the ban, declaring: “After the tragedy in Trappes, authorising an event inciting racial hatred is unacceptable and dangerous. Racists must be neutralised. The gathering planned for Saturday in Le Plessis-Robinson must be banned quickly.”

She celebrated the actions of the French Government.

A transgender pedophile in Virginia has been sentenced to 25 years in federal prison for the production of child sexual abuse material. Joseph Downing Barnes Jr., also known as Junior or Jada Barnes, coerced young boys to perform sexual acts on webcam in order to record the sessions and save the screen recordings as child pornography.

According to court records filed in the Eastern District of Virginia, Barnes first came to the attention of authorities last year after Google became aware that he had been uploading what its system flagged as child sexual abuse material to his cloud storage. Gathering his account details, Google submitted a report to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, who then forwarded the information to the Virginia Beach Police Department (VBPD) based on the account details Google had identified.

In October of 2025, the VBPD obtained a search warrant for Barnes’ Google account, enabling them to search through the files he had uploaded using his Google email. Within the accounts, they found numerous files containing screen recordings of Barnes engaged in online sexual discussions with boys aged approximately 10-15 years old.

Investigators found Barnes would chat with young boys over a webcam-based platform, and expose his breasts to the children. He would then coerce the boys, who believed him to be a woman, to expose their genitals to him and masturbate for him. Barnes would record the sick sessions and save the files to his Google account.

During the course of the investigation, police learned that Barnes was already a registered sex offender, having been convicted of distributing child sexual abuse material in 2016.

Reduxx obtained the court filings from that conviction, which reveal Barnes had been active in sharing child sexual abuse material with other pedophiles. Some of the videos included prepubescent girls as young as 5 years of age being anally raped by adult men.

Barnes was ultimately sentenced to 108 months in prison in that case, and was subjected to the sex offender registry.

For the latest charges, Barnes entered a plea of guilty, waving his right to a trial.

On September 8, his lawyer submitted a position statement offering potential mitigating factors to be considered in the determination of his sentence. Among those factors was a claim that Barnes had been sexually abused as a child, grew up in poverty, had disordered sexual development, and had an IQ of 73. The position statement refers to him using feminine pronouns.

On October 23, the court handed down a sentence of 25 years, with a requirement that Barnes be subject to lifetime monitoring and registration after his release.
