Spain: A Moroccan man convicted of brutal rape in Les Basses de Alpicat in 2012 obtains permanent residency in La Rioja despite a police report that identified him as a public risk
The Government Delegation in La Rioja issued an expulsion order against SEG, a 19-year-old Moroccan citizen residing in Spain, after a routine check on a public road in 2024.
The National Police prepared a detailed report in which they considered him a public risk, based on his conviction for sexual assault.
However, the Superior Court of Justice of La Rioja (TSJR) overturned that decision, initially endorsed by a judge, and granted him legal residency in the country.
The judges argued that the convicted man is the father of a minor of Spanish nationality, maintains a stable family life with his partner —also Moroccan and a legal resident— and has accumulated more than 15 years of accredited work history, with no record of crimes after the 2014 conviction.
The events date back to October 2012 in Les Basses d’Alpicat (Lleida). According to the ruling of the Provincial Court of Lleida, SEG approached the victim in a shopping center, committed a particularly violent sexual assault, and, once reported, attempted to obstruct justice by offering her 2,000 euros to withdraw the complaint.
When she refused, he threatened that “his friends” would scar her face and ruin her life, which resulted in an additional conviction for violating the restraining order.
The court sentenced him to seven years in prison for sexual assault, an additional year and a half for obstruction of justice, fines of €1,620 and €2,700, and a restraining order prohibiting him from approaching the victim. He served his sentence until October 2019 after being released on bail until the sentence became final.
The TSJR, in its December 2025 ruling to which ABC had access, applied the principle of proportionality provided for in the Immigration Law and in European Directive 2003/109/EC.
The judges considered that, although the sentence exceeded the threshold of one year in prison that allows the expulsion of long-term residents, there was no evidence of a “real, current and sufficiently serious threat” to public order or citizen security at the present time.
They highlighted the more than 19 years of residence in Spain, the family ties and the labor integration, and concluded that the expulsion would directly affect the Spanish minor, born in Spain and with automatic nationality.
SEG’s long-term residence permit, granted in 2013 and periodically renewed until 2024, was kept in effect by court order.
This resolution illustrates a strict application of the criteria of family and temporary ties that prioritizes family unity over serious criminal history, even when the National Police expressly warned of the risk.
The Government Delegation, under the Ministry of the Interior, had acted on the basis of the police report after detecting the pending expulsion order, but the Administrative Court of the TSJR considered that the requirements to execute it were not met.
This is clear evidence of how current legislation, designed to protect the fundamental rights of long-term residents, can leave people convicted of extremely serious crimes against sexual integrity in the country, as long as the court does not find a sufficient “present” threat.
French conservative media mogul Bolloré builds intellectual arsenal ahead of elections
Vincent Bolloré, the French conservative and Christian media magnate, is once again expanding his influence, this time with the launch of a Christian-inspired think-tank that could deepen his role in the political and cultural battles ahead of France’s 2027 presidential election.
The initiative adds a new institutional layer to Bolloré’s already formidable media ecosystem, which spans Europe 1, CNews, publishing giant Hachette, Le Journal du Dimanche and a major position in the post-spin-off Canal+ sphere. In recent years, critics and supporters alike have viewed that network as a vehicle for pushing conservative, identitarian and Christian-inflected themes further into the French mainstream.
Registered in 2025, the Institut de l’Espérance, or Institute of Hope, aims to serve as a platform for Christian-inspired reflection. According to publicly reported registry details, its mission is to bring together like-minded individuals to promote “common-sense solutions” to contemporary challenges, grounded in the common good and driven by what it describes as competent, courageous and determined voices.
Speaking before a French parliamentary inquiry in early April 2026, Bolloré had already signalled the move, stating: “With friends, I’ve created an institute called the Institut de l’Espérance.” The French media tycoon framed the move in personal terms, adding that his focus has increasingly shifted toward “philanthropy and spirituality”, something that naturally becomes “more important with age”.
In a 36-page manifesto reported by Bloomberg, the institute outlines proposals to curb immigration, reserve social housing for French citizens, reduce public spending, introduce business incentives for young people, boost fertility and ultimately raise living standards. That agenda places the new body squarely inside the ideological space now contested by the French Right, where questions of immigration, demography, sovereignty and welfare access are likely to dominate the run-up to 2027.
The idea of prioritising French citizens in access to social welfare, often referred to as “national preference”, was put forward by National Rally during the last general election campaign, notably under the leadership of Jordan Bardella. What makes Bolloré’s intervention significant is that he is not entering politics as a candidate but as a power broker: a businessman with the means to align media, publishing and now think-tank activism around a broader conservative agenda.
The move also comes at a moment when Bolloré’s growing weight in French publishing and broadcasting is under especially intense scrutiny. In April 2026, more than 100 authors resigned from Grasset, part of the Hachette group, amid a widening backlash over what opponents see as ideological encroachment into French cultural life.
Taken together, the launch of the Institut de l’Espérance suggests Bolloré is not merely consolidating a media empire. He is building an intellectual and political infrastructure designed to shape the French Right’s arguments well before voters go to the polls.
Germany: Female students repeatedly harassed by Lebanese men at Leipzig University – security guards stationed outside the ladies’ toilets
There has apparently been a recent spate of sexual assaults and harassment on the University of Leipzig’s city centre campus. The Student Council (StuRa) has publicly urged caution on social media, and the university management has stepped up security measures. On Instagram, the StuRa reports “incidents of sexual harassment in the women’s toilets of the lecture theatre building and the seminar building on the main campus” and is calling on other victims to come forward.
The Equal Opportunities Officer and the university management have also been made aware of incidents said to have taken place on April 14.
According to reports, there have been several verbal and physical assaults in the women’s toilets and in a stairwell in the seminar building on the Augustusplatz campus, university spokesperson Carsten Heckmann explained in response to a TAG24 enquiry.
The police are aware of sexual assaults that took place the previous week. ‘On April 7, an unknown man took photographs of a young woman sitting naked in the toilet at the Paulinum on the University of Leipzig campus,’ reports police spokeswoman Susanne Lübcke.
The man was then able to flee without being identified. The following day, a female student was sexually assaulted in the toilet area of the Humanities Centre. As the 22-year-old immediately dialled the emergency number, the police were able to apprehend the suspect – a 26-year-old Lebanese man – at the scene.
The police are not yet officially aware of the incidents on April 14. “It is therefore important that those affected report the incidents promptly,” said Lübcke.
The university has since stepped up security measures. According to spokesperson Heckmann, the toilet areas are now being patrolled more frequently by security staff.
In addition, from May onwards, stickers displaying the security service’s telephone number will be put up in many locations across the publicly accessible campus.

Austria: Syrian man raped six-year-old girl; sentenced to just four and a half years in prison
A 52-year-old Syrian man was sentenced to four and a half years in prison on Tuesday at the Vienna Regional Court after allegedly luring his six-year-old neighbour’s daughter into his flat and raping her. The verdict on charges of rape, serious sexual abuse of a minor and possession of child abuse material is now final.
The defendant initially denied the offence but confessed during the trial. In court, he finally said: “I admit to everything”, but added that it had “only happened once”. Both he and the prosecutor accepted the sentence. According to the prosecution, the incident took place on July 3, 2025, in a residential complex in Vienna. The man is alleged to have watched the girl playing in the courtyard and lured her into his flat with a lollipop. There, he is said to have partially undressed the child and performed sexual acts on her.
The prosecution stated that the defendant had pushed the child into the flat. The defence presented a different account of events, claiming that the girl had gone with him of her own free will because the man allegedly wanted to bring extra seating into the courtyard. The defendant himself claimed that he had merely touched the child.
Following his arrest, the man’s flat was searched. During the search, investigators seized around 5,500 to 6,000 files containing child abuse material from various storage devices, including images and videos. The man is also alleged to have shared two videos via WhatsApp. In addition, he took more than 160 screenshots of the material.
The proceedings also included a further allegation: the man is alleged to have shown a pornographic film on his mobile phone to another girl in a park and to have urged her to perform sexual acts. He eventually admitted to this as well, or rather no longer contested the allegation in the same way as he had at the outset.
At the start of the trial, the defendant had not yet confessed. It was only after the child had been questioned, in a hearing held in camera, that he admitted his guilt. The defence lawyer referred to a paedophilic disorder and described the offence as “horrific and shocking”.
The court ultimately imposed a four-and-a-half-year prison sentence. As the verdict is final, there will be no further appeal proceedings.
FPÖ Secretary-General and spokesperson on homeland security Michael Schnedlitz described the case as the “horrific result of a completely irresponsible immigration policy”. “This abhorrent case is yet another bloody example of what the ‘welcome culture’ of the establishment parties has brought upon our homeland: imported crime that stops at nothing and no one, and whose victims are our own children,” he stated in a press release.
For him, it is an intolerable situation that a Syrian man living off Austrian social benefits could commit such a brutal act against a child. The Syrian man has forfeited his right to hospitality in the most brutal way imaginable. Instead of discussing whether he should receive therapy here, the only logical consequence must be immediate deportation to his home country of Syria, Schnedlitz demanded. It is unreasonable to expect the Austrian public to foot the bill for the upkeep and, on top of that, the therapy of such criminals. He complained:
Every euro spent on detention, the justice system and therapy for such offenders is a euro wasted. It is a perversion of the system that we use our hard-earned tax money to finance ‘full care’ for criminal foreigners who deeply despise our society and attack our children.
Schnedlitz pointed out that, as soon as this offender begins his prison sentence, he will be treated like a private patient and receive the best medical care, whilst his victim languishes in the system of waiting lists. The fact that thousands of files containing child abuse material were also found in the offender’s possession shows “that we are dealing here with a ticking time bomb, which was only able to arrive in Austria because of the open-borders policy.”
‘Muslim only’ flat rentals illegally advertised by London landlords
“Muslim only” flat rentals have been illegally advertised by landlords across London, an investigation has found.
The listings are a breach of the Equality Act 2010, which prohibits discrimination on the grounds of sexuality, race, gender and religion.
Posts across several listing sites request the potential tenants be specifically Muslim boys, girls or Punjabi speakers.
On the website of real estate agency Roshan Properties, the company advertises rentals for “two Muslim boys” or “two Muslim girls”.
Other listings across Facebook, Gumtree and Telegram demand Punjabi and Gujarati speakers or Kerala and Haryana people, The Telegraph revealed.
The affected listings seeking out religious groups are being advertised across London’s boroughs, including Ilford, Dagenham and Harrow.
Ilford is home to a high Muslim population, with Muslims making up around 41 per cent of the borough’s population, with 45,757 residents.
Meanwhile, Dagenham is home to around 53,389 Muslims and Harrow has around 41,503.
In the listings, some attempted to divide the lines on religious grounds by listing “alcohol and smoke-free” properties in the advertisement.
Landlords, however, are not permitted to seek out specific religious groups or specific ethnicities when seeking tenants.
There is some leeway within the law for a single person renter making the request, who is letting out a room within their home and shared accommodation.
Equally, property owners might highlight specific dietary requirements, including allergies and vegetarianism.
However, seeking out specific racial groups by outlining such requirements is not permitted and could lead to civil action.
Reform UK’s Treasury spokesman Robert Jenrick blasted the “disgusting and anti-British” adverts.
“It goes without saying that there would be a national outrage if the tables were turned,” he told The Telegraph.
The Newark MP declared all forms of racism were “unacceptable” and a religious group should not get a “special exemption to discriminate”.
Under the Renters’ Rights Act, local authorities are able to issue fines of up to £7,000 if a landlord is liable for discrimination, including racial and religious prejudice.
If the fined individual is liable for continuous breaches, a further fine can be issued of up to £7,000. However, if a repeat breach occurs, the fine can be doubled.
GB News has approached Roshan Properties for comment.
Cardinal Marx implements Fiducia Supplicans ‘blessings’ for ‘couples of all gender identities’
Following Pope Francis’ Fiducia Supplicans, Cardinal Reinhard Marx has introduced heterodox guidelines for the “blessing” of homosexual and other “couples” in sinful relationships in his archdiocese.
According to a report by Die Tagespost, Marx has called on priests and full-time staff in the Archdiocese of Munich and Freising to implement the controversial guidelines “Segen gibt der Liebe Kraft,” which allows the “blessing” of homosexuals, as well as other “couples” who cannot enter into sacramental marriage, like the divorced and civilly “remarried” and even “couples” “of all gender identities and sexual orientations.”
The guidelines are to become the “foundation of pastoral care,” Marx wrote in an internal letter seen by Die Tagespost. The cardinal ordered the guidelines to be published in parishes and said the “theological meaning” of the controversial text is to be explained to all “who still struggle with this blessing.”
According to Marx, the guidelines make it clear “that the blessing is not a celebration of a sacramental marriage.” However, the cardinal notes, this does not mean “that the blessing of a non-sacramental union—which in many cases is already a civil marriage solemnized by a civil registrar—pushes the couple to the margins of the parish and the Church.” Those in sinful relationships should be welcomed at the heart of the parish, he said. The cardinal expressly pointed out that no “couple” should be turned away.
Marx wants to elevate the role of “queer pastoral care” in his diocese by offering courses for full-time pastoral workers (priests and laity) on how to conduct these “blessing” ceremonies. Those who do not wish to preside over heterodox ceremonies are expected to refer the requesting “couples” to others willing to do so.
The guidelines “Segen gibt der Liebe Kraft” were first published by the German Bishops Conference (DBK) last year and have since been implemented in several dioceses.
The “blessings” are meant to be an offer for “divorced and remarried couples, [so-called] couples of all gender identities and sexual orientations, as well as couples who do not want to or cannot receive the sacrament of marriage for other reasons.”
The guidelines state that the “blessings” can be performed by clerics as well as by laypeople with an episcopal assignment. The ceremony for the “blessings” should be marked by “greater spontaneity and freedom with regard to the life situation of those who ask for the blessing,” according to the guidelines.
“For this reason, no approved liturgical celebrations and prayers are planned for the blessings,” the document states.
Despite contrary suggestions from the then-head of the DBK, Bishop Georg Bätzing, the German guidelines were not approved by the Vatican because they exceed what was prescribed in Pope Francis’ controversial document on homosexual “blessings,” Fiducia Supplicans, which numerous prelates and bishops’ conferences also condemned as heterodox.
Majority of French Think Country Experiencing ‘Great Replacement’ by Non-European Migrants
Six in ten adults in France believe that their country is facing a “great replacement” with the mass importation of non-European immigrants.
A survey conducted by the Institut français d’opinion publique (Ifop) research firm has found that 60 per cent of French people believe that their country is experiencing a “profound demographic transformation” and that the French are being “progressively replaced by non-European populations, primarily from the African continent.”
Of those who agreed with the statement, 66 per cent said the development was entirely bad, compared with 21 per cent who felt it was neither good nor bad, and 9 per cent who felt it was a positive development.
Opinions on the matter were divided largely along party lines, with supporters of Marine Le Pen’s National Rally being the most concerned about demographic displacement at 81 per cent, compared to 76 per cent of Les Républicains voters, 37 per cent of Macron supporters, and just 30 per cent of far-left La France Insoumise voters.
Intriguingly, 64 per cent of Socialist Party voters expressed concerns about the country’s transformation through mass migration. Conversely, just 4 per cent — a Lizardman’s Constant — of National Rally voters felt it was entirely a good thing, compared to 39 per cent of Green Party voters and 32 per cent of LFI supporters.
LFI leader Jean-Luc Mélenchon has begun to frequently invoke the phrase “great replacement”, originally coined by French philosopher Renaud Camus to describe the attitude of Western liberal elites who view their populations as mere economic units which can be exchanged with no consequence.
While the far-left former presidential candidate appeared to initially make reference to the phenomenon in ironic jest, he and his cohort of radicals have increasingly cast the political battle between “new” and “old” France, comparing their multicultural support base with “ugly” white France.
Perhaps giving the game away, Mélenchon was quoted earlier this month as saying that the far-left cannot rely on the white Catholic working class of rural France to usher in socialism.
This may explain his party’s focus on courting urban ethnic minority voting blocs, particularly the Muslim vote, with LFI having increasingly focused on issues like Palestine. This has coincided with the leftist party facing accusations of cosying up to Islamist groups like the Muslim Brotherhood.
According to the French government’s National Institute of Statistics and Economic Studies (INSEE), there were approximately six million foreign nationals living in France in 2024, or around 8.8 per cent of the population. This does not include migrants who obtained citizenship or people who were born to migrant parents.
INSEE noted that there has been a significant change in the backgrounds of foreigners living in France, with three-quarters of migrants in 1968 coming from other European nations, compared to around half of migrants currently hailing from Africa.

Germany: Young German father Sebastian stabbed to death in Pulheim, 2 Syrians under arrest but they refuse to speak to police
After two Syrians were accused of stabbing a 28-year-old father to death in the German city of Pulheim, police have confirmed the victim was German national Sebastian H., who leaves behind a 4-year-old daughter, but also has a partner who is four months pregnant with what would have been his second child.
The incident occurred just before midnight in a parking lot at the city park in Pulheim, North Rhine-Westphalia. Five men engaged in a physical confrontation, but three individuals were reportedly armed with baseball bats and knives.
This encounter proved fatal for Sebastian H., who suffered multiple stab wounds and died at the scene. His 35-year-old companion was transported to a hospital with serious injuries. While the attackers were arrested, they have remained silent.
According to Bild newspaper sources, two brothers from Syria who were previously known to police are among the three suspects, ages 20, 24, and 28.
The trio is currently being investigated on suspicion of joint manslaughter and grievous bodily harm. Arrest warrants have been issued, and the men are in pre-trial detention.
Because the suspects have not commented, the exact motive for the confrontation on April 12, 2026, remains unclear. The Public Prosecutor’s Office received information that indicated the trio arrived at the parking lot armed specifically to meet the two victims. Reportedly, the sum the Syrians killed the man over was as small as €250.
“There was an immediate physical altercation in the parking lot. It may have been the dispute about outstanding financial claims,” said Cologne’s senior public prosecutor Ulrich Bremer upon request.
Following the stabbing, Basti H. managed to move through the park despite his critical injuries before collapsing on the lawn, where he died.
Bild reported that bloodstains are still present at the location, along with objects left by mourners, including photos, candles, and flowers for the murdered father.
Sebastian, known as “Basti,” leaves behind his young family. Christof Miseré, the lawyer representing the victim’s family, stated, “Relatives and friends are stunned. There is no justification for such acts.”
The murder came shortly before German federal police (BKA) released PKS statistics this week, highlighting a massive overrepresentation of foreigners in the crime data, including in knife attacks. Germany experienced nearly 30,000 knife-related crimes last year, 2025, equalling 80 per day.
Despite being only 15 percent of the population, foreigners are responsible for 41 percent of the violent crime in the country. Syrians, in particular, are 10 times more likely to be involved in violent crime than Germans.
Data released last year found that Syrians committed 135,000 crimes against Germans over a period of 10 years, equaling a crime against a German every 39 minutes for every single day.
Amazon U.S. Bans Raspail’s Bestseller The Camp of the Saints
On Friday, April 17th, the conservative publisher Vauban Books, which publishes the latest English edition of Jean Raspail’s seminal novel The Camp of the Saints, was informed that Amazon was removing the book from sale in the United States. The e-commerce giant is acting as a censor towards a leading author who has been recognised and established in the French and international literary landscape for decades.
The new translation of the 1973 novel, produced by the publisher, Ethan Rundell, has been available on Amazon since the summer of 2025 and has been a resounding success there. Since it went on sale, the publisher states, no fewer than 20,000 copies have been sold, with an average reader rating of 4.8.
Raspail’s book, now over fifty years old, has become a benchmark for its uncompromising portrayal of a Europe sinking under a tidal wave of migration that nothing seems able to stop. The book, which was initially shared only by a circle of happy few French conservatives, is now recognised as a major literary work—a dystopian novel that deciphers, with uncommon narrative and dramatic intensity, the material and moral collapse of our civilisation wallowing in resignation in the face of the arrival of ‘the other,’ adorned with every virtue.
Certain iconic quotes are now widely shared on social media—in French, but also in English. The book had been available in translation for several years already, but Rundell’s work has given it new visibility.
Amazon deemed the novel’s content to be “offensive.” Yet there is nothing shocking in these lines, written in a lively style that is at once tragic and epic. A shiver is bound to run down the spine of anyone who loses themselves in this work of speculative fiction—just as when reading the most poignant pages of Huxley or Orwell.
“Your universe has no meaning to them. They will not try to understand. They will be tired, they will be cold, they will make a fire with your beautiful oak doors.”

Let the reader rest assured. They can still purchase, for a few dollars and with priority delivery, Mao’s Little Red Book or even, in a different vein, the complete collection of Hitler’s speeches from 1922 to 1945. Far be it from us to take offence at this: after all, these are also historical documents whose study is highly instructive. But to censor Raspail?
Faced with the scale of the controversy, Amazon eventually, a few hours after Vauban Books’ announcement, made the novel available online again. As is often the case in such situations, the announcement of Amazon’s censorship gave sales a new boost. Within a few hours, the book was topping the sales charts in several categories. For a brief moment, Raspail even outstripped Hugo and Zola, Balzac and Proust, in the French literature category.
And it’s the Streisand Effect for the win…

Somewhere, Jean Raspail is smiling. pic.twitter.com/X0VC7EWLF6
One has to be cautious for the future. Some readers note in the comments that they have placed massive orders for Raspail’s novel. How right they are! After all, he is the brilliant inventor of the Kingdom of Patagonia, the last refuge of a world in peril. The best you can do when the world is about to collapse is to read books.
