In Düsseldorf, an 18-year-old young Ukrainian woman, who had just been granted refuge in the Federal Republic of Germany as a war refugee, was allegedly raped jointly by a Tunisian and a Nigerian. Now the woman has fled from Germany to Poland – because she no longer feels safe in Germany.
They flee from the war to the supposedly safe, cosmopolitan, peaceful West – only to find that another kind of war has long since begun here: Shortly after their arrival in Germany, more and more Ukrainian women are having unpleasant experiences with the special legal conditions that have been created since 2015 in favour of African-Arab trouble migration – and which have often turned women in particular into a kind of fair game: Just a few days after the German government opened the German borders without any controls for (actual and alleged) refugees from Ukraine, the “intercultural exchange” of a special kind has now taken place.
The 18-year-old had been accommodated together with the two 37- and 26-year-old suspects on the hotel ship “Oscar Wilde” in Düsseldorf, which serves as refugee accommodation. There, both men allegedly brutally raped her. The suspects are currently in pre-trial detention; how little the authorities in Germany know about the identity of their taken-in protégés is shown by the fact that the Tunisian was originally thought to be an Iraqi. Both men, bizarrely, are also said to be in possession of Ukrainian citizenship. In the meantime, the Düsseldorf victim fled from the ” diverse ” Germany to Poland – for fear of further assaults.
Already last week, young Ukrainian women were harassed immediately after their arrival in Berlin; some were stalked, others were offered “sleeping places” in exchange for sexual favours. According to eyewitnesses, the pushy men were also “with a migration background”.
Once again, the disastrous consequences of unchecked, unrestrained and uncontrolled mass immigration, in which the socialisation and cultural background of the so-called refugees and the resulting potential for conflict are not taken into account at all, are revealed here. Ironically, the sex crime in Düsseldorf happened on the same day that Federal Minister of the Interior Nancy Faeser ( Social Democratic Party of Germany) had stated in an interview: “The very largest part of the refugees are Ukrainians. People from other countries who already had a permanent right of residence in Ukraine bring this status with them. They also do not have to undergo an elaborate asylum procedure”.
Heiko Teggatz, head of the federal police union, said about the Düsseldorf case: “Politicians should now do everything to ensure that such terrible cases of rape, as on the hotel boat in Düsseldorf, do not become more frequent. Harsh and swift punishment followed by deportation as a consequence is the only way of dealing with such perpetrators.” He also renewed the criticism of quite a few German police authorities and the Federal Police of the irresponsible renewed mass admission with the de facto undermining of any border control: “Smuggling, trafficking in human beings and the promotion of prostitution belong to the same delinquency category. If these criminal networks are not decisively countered at the point of arrival in Europe and Germany, criminal gangs will shamelessly exploit the plight of people from Ukraine. Young women from Ukraine are the focus of these criminals.”
Ukrainian women are now threatened not only by rape: Oliver Malchow, Federal Chairman of the Police Trade Union, warned that they could also become victims of human traffickers: “These crimes are primarily committed by Eastern European criminals. They target women at railway stations in larger cities, but also near the border.” This involves illegal employment in prostitution, but also in the care of the elderly or as cleaners.
For Federal Minister of the Interior Faeser, none of this should be anything new. She was warned early on by the authorities under her authority that further migration flows to Germany were threatening in the slipstream of the Ukraine crisis. Last Friday, in a detailed interview, Teggatz had also already forcefully pointed out the numerous failures of German migration policy, which had learned nothing from the loss of control in 2015. In particular, he had called for “stationary border controls” in which “the respective EU member state” announces “that entry and exit can only take place via certain border crossings.” Only in this way could the federal police “channel the flow of refugees and almost completely control who enters our country”.
Teggatz also rejected Faeser’s unfounded claim that people from other countries who have a permanent right of residence in Ukraine do not have to undergo an elaborate asylum procedure in Germany. The minister is wrong. If, for example, an Iraqi is studying in Kiev, his Ukrainian residence permit does not entitle him to enter the Schengen area. A separate visa is needed for that.”
He took a similar approach to Faeser’s statement that the “vast majority of the refugees” are Ukrainians: “A large proportion of the refugees from Ukraine do not have Ukrainian citizenship. They are third-country nationals from regions outside the EU with a residence permit for Ukraine. These people actually have to undergo the asylum procedure, including identity determination.”
So the problems and inadequacies of the policy she advocates have been known to the Minister of the Interior from the very beginning. Now they have caused their first (known) victim. Unfortunately, it will certainly not be the last.
