Dutch town of 700 residents to receive 100 asylum seekers as promised ‘strictest ever asylum policy’ remains unrealized

A shift in Dutch asylum policy is causing unrest in small towns like Doezum, where plans to house 100 refugees in a temporary settlement have sparked local opposition.

With the government ending the automatic priority of status holders — asylum seekers granted residence permits — for social housing, municipalities are now scrambling for alternatives. One such measure, so-called “transfer locations”, is drawing backlash from residents concerned about social tensions and lack of integration.

The village of Doezum, Groningen, home to just 700 residents, has suddenly found itself at the center of a national debate over asylum accommodation. The municipality of Westerkwartier is planning to construct dozens of chalets on an estate at the village’s edge to accommodate 100 status holders.

Local residents, who only found out about the plan through a letter, say they were blindsided by the decision.

“My 25-year-old son has been trying to find a place to live for years, but there’s nothing available,” village resident Sonja told De Telegraaf newspaper. “Yet housing for people from far away appears overnight. How is that fair?”

Others worry that the majority of the new arrivals will be young, single men.

“That’s just asking for trouble,” one concerned villager remarked.

Tensions escalated when a municipal information meeting was abruptly canceled due to overwhelming public interest.

“Of course, the whole village wants answers,” said one elderly resident. “This is the biggest change we’ve seen here in 35 years!”

Under Dutch law, municipalities must house a certain number of status holders every six months. Westerkwartier must find housing for at least 42 refugees by April 1 or risk having the province assign them housing locations elsewhere in the municipality.

However, many local governments are struggling due to the nationwide housing shortage. Last year, around 50 municipalities met their quota, while nearly 300 fell behind. With social housing in short supply, municipalities are forced to find alternatives — including hotel accommodations and temporary “transfer locations” like the one proposed in Doezum.

The Dutch government, which swung considerably to the right after Geert Wilders’ Party for Freedom (PVV) won the most seats in November 2023, has vowed to implement the strictest asylum policy ever seen in the Netherlands, but to date, few radical measures have been implemented after necessary coalition talks with more centrist parties watered down plans.

In attempts to deprioritize asylum seekers from social housing registers, while easing pressure on packed asylum centers, the government announced transitional housing units as a viable short-term solution.

Under plans announced by Asylum Minister Marjolein Faber, local authorities that establish this type of accommodation receive an annual bonus of more than €21,000 per asylum seeker in government funding.

Critics, however, argue that the plan simply moves large cohorts of asylum seekers from one place to another, creating migrant communities in new areas that will not assist with assimilation and will exacerbate social tensions.

“If you put a few hundred people in one place, it starts to feel like a new type of asylum center,” warned Mark Boumans, vice president of the Association of Dutch Municipalities (VNG) and mayor of Doetinchem. “What will the atmosphere be like? Will they learn Dutch, find jobs, or simply remain isolated? What will it mean for nearby communities?”

“I support housing refugees, but not by cramming 100 people together on the edge of the village,” added local Doezum resident, Peter. “In the past, they arrived in smaller numbers and became our neighbors. Now they’ll be stuck together, separated from us.”

Plans remain afoot in the Netherlands for sweeping reforms, and the Dutch government insists this is a short-term measure ahead of widescale changes to the country’s asylum policy.

“I am the minister who is taking concrete measures to really get a grip on migration. We must do whatever it takes,” Faber said in an address to the Dutch parliament in November last year.

Legislation has been proposed to end the automatic transition to permanent residency for asylum seekers after five years, implement stricter family reunification rules, ramp up deportation powers, construct more detention facilities, and scrap dispersal laws regulating the distribution of asylum seekers across Dutch municipalities.

Earlier this month, the plans were criticized by the Council of State advisory body report, but Faber insists she has little intention of making significant adjustments to the legislation.

“Maybe a point and a comma, but that’s it,” the PVV minister states. “I am convinced that my lawyers have made a good proposal. The advice is not binding — I can do what I want with it.”

Don’t Mention Islamism: Deflection and Moral Posturing Rule in Germany

AI generator

It was the most brutal attack on a trade union event in the history of post-war Germany. Last Thursday, just days before the general election, a man drove a car into a group of striking members of the service workers’ union Verdi in Munich. The attack has so far claimed the lives of a mother and her two-year-old daughter, and injured at least 30 others.   

The suspect is a 24-year-old Afghan national who arrived in Germany eight years ago as an unaccompanied minor and was subsequently granted residence status. According to police reports, he had previously shared Islamist content on social media. Upon his arrest, he shouted “Allahu akbar”, leading authorities to classify the incident as “most likely” Islamist-motivated.

Anger is surely the right response to such a barbaric attack on workers and their families who were exercising their democratic right to campaign for better working conditions. Yet, almost immediately after the incident made headlines, the Verdi leadership issued a statement condemning any “misplaced passion” that might arise from the act:  “We stand for solidarity and togetherness. In its darkest hour, ver.di defends itself against the attack on ver.di colleagues during a token strike in Munich being used for division, hatred and incitement,” the statement said. A statement by Frank Werneke, the Verdi leader, which carefully avoided any mention of the word ‘Islamism’, was similarly muddled.

This is no coincidence. Werneke is a member of the ruling SPD, and the brutal attack has intensified pressure on Germany’s coalition government, once again exposing critical failures in security and the asylum system. Just days earlier, following another deadly attack by an Afghan asylum seeker that claimed the lives of a toddler and a man, Chancellor Olaf Scholz (SPD) himself admitted being “fed up with such acts of violence happening here every few weeks.”

Yet now, government allies like Werneke appear determined to silence legitimate concerns, suggesting that anyone who points to specific migration issues is somehow exploiting tragedy. The public messaging, both by the union and sectors of the media, quickly emphasized that the murdered trade unionist, an engineer, had a “migration background” herself (having arrived in Germany at age four from Algeria) and that her family requested “restraint,” noting her advocacy for tolerance.

All this manoeuvring is deeply disingenuous. It shouldn’t matter whether the victims have a migrant background or not—this distraction misses the fundamental point. It’s not about identity; it’s about the basic duty of the state to protect all its citizens. 

In truth, even before last Thursday, migration had become the dominant and most controversial election issue. The growing pressure on the government was reflected in its announcement, after the Aschaffenburg incident, that it would speed up deportations and extend the border controls introduced last September for another six months. 

Polling suggests these measures have failed to restore public confidence. The ruling SPD now struggles below 15%, battling its coalition partner, the Greens, merely for third place.

The public’s distrust of the government on migration issues isn’t hard to comprehend. The reactions to this latest attack have followed a predictable and revealing pattern: despite expressions of shock after each incident, there’s always a coordinated effort from establishment voices to control the public narrative and deflect criticism of migration policies. Their primary concern appears to be containing populist pressure rather than honestly and seriously addressing the underlying issues that fuel it.

For many weeks now, pro-government demonstrations have swept through German cities, directed against the right-populist AfD, and campaigning to exclude both the party and its voters from government participation. There’s a stark and dark irony in the fact that, just days before Thursday’s violence, some 250,000 people gathered at nearly the identical location in Munich, rallying for the “democratic firewall” against the AfD under the slogan “Democracy needs you.” 

Verdi was prominently among the organizers supporting this demonstration, which was triggered after Friedrich Merz (CDU), the opposition leader, introduced bills in Parliament to strengthen immigration controls. Merz’s initiative was sharply attacked by the government, with Scholz declaring, “He can’t be trusted” and the SPD parliamentary group leader hysterically claiming that Merz had “opened the gates to hell“. Maintaining the firewall has become the main election message of the government since then. 

There should be no doubt in most voters’ minds that these demonstrations are essentially pro-government rallies. An investigation by the German newspaper Die Welt revealed that every single NGO mobilizing the demonstrators had received either direct or indirect funding from government ministries—specifically from the Family Ministry under Lisa Paus (Greens), the Interior Ministry under Nancy Faeser (SPD), or Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s own office. Verdi, which represents workers in the public sector, media, health, and finance is also closely linked to the Social Democratic (SPD) and Green or Left parties. Mobilising for the demonstrations, its website states: “ver.di calls for resistance against the AfD. We stand against the enemies of democracy. We are the firewall”.

The fact that the demonstrations continued this weekend shows the extent of the fear on the pro-establishment side. This fear was blatantly expressed a few weeks ago, by one of the organisers, a spokeswoman for a group called Omas Gegen Rechts (Grannies Against the Right): “Never before has the danger been so great that our democratic achievements and thus the basis of our social coexistence could be endangered by new majorities in the Bundestag,” she said.

There were moments of silence for the victims at last this weekend’s demonstrations, but combined with the predictable message that there must be no hate even after Munich. A trade union spokeswoman at the Berlin rally said: “They have the hate, we have the attitude.” Of course, she was not referring to the hatred of the Islamist attacker, but to the alleged hatred of those who would now ‘exploit’ the incident.

It would be wrong to believe that these rallies have no impact. Their aim is to stifle crucial debates on asylum, migration, and Islamism—topics that desperately need open examination. The establishment’s strategy of deflection and moral posturing—showing “attitude” as the activists call it—betrays a deep distrust of voters’ capacity to engage with complex issues. It also reveals a fundamental contempt for ordinary citizens, treating them as potential extremists who must be monitored and managed lest they transform into “crazy racists.”  This Sunday’s election will reveal what voters think of all this.

Germany is arresting people for ‘racist’ cartoons and ‘fake quotes’: 60 Minutes report

A Sunday episode of 60 Minutes highlighted repressive German hate speech laws that have led to the arrests of citizens for posting speech deemed false or “hateful,” such as “racist” cartoons or “fake quotes.”

CBS opened with footage of six state police officers raiding a suspect’s home at 6 a.m. and seizing his laptop and cellphone for “posting a racist cartoon online,” as “more than 50 similar raids” simultaneously played out across Germany, according to the news outlet.

Three German prosecutors explained that hate speech laws target far more than violent threats. “Malicious gossip” and “insults” are deemed hate speech – both in person and online – and “fake quotes” are illegal as well, under the assumption that the government is the arbiter of truth. 

Those found breaking these laws usually face steep fines and sometimes lose their personal devices, including cell phones and laptops. Repeat offenders are threatened with jail time. One prosecutor, Frank-Michael Laue, noted that the seizure of personal devices is considered even worse than the fine. 

Laue, who leads the Lower Saxony prosecution unit, told Alfonsi they work on “about 3,500 cases per year” and receive “hundreds of tips a month from police, watchdog groups and victims.”

Germany’s law against insults traces back 154 years with origins in an 1871 law. Prosecutions against offenders took on teeth in “a precedent-setting 1995 ruling” in which a Schwaebisch Hall court awarded a man 460 euros over “racist comments” against his black wife, according to the Los Angeles Times. 

CBS correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi also noted that it’s illegal in Germany to display Nazi symbolism, such as a Swastika, or to deny the Holocaust, as it has been for 40 years. 

Remarkably, CBS appeared to portray German speech laws in a sympathetic light. No critics of the laws were interviewed, and the anti-free speech laws were framed as attempting to “bring civility” to the internet.

In a statement of stunning irony, Josephine Ballon, a CEO of HateAid, lamented to Alfonsi that half of Germany’s internet users “are afraid to express their political opinion, and they rarely participate in public debates online anymore.” 

Instead of pointing to the country’s chilling anti-free speech laws, Ballon cited fear that they will be attacked online. Her organization is dedicated to supporting victims of online “hate speech.” 

Critics consider Germany’s current laws to be a violation of human rights and acknowledge the role it plays in quashing public discourse. U.S. Vice President JD Vance, who rebuked Europe a few days ago at the Munich Security Conference for their free speech crackdown, reposted the 60 Minutes episode to X on Monday morning, denouncing the laws as “Orwellian.”

Germany has even overstepped its already-oppressive laws by conducting sweeping arrests of protesters, even of those calling for peace. 

German-Israeli activist Iris Hefets told Al Jazeera last year how she was arrested twice for holding a sign that read, “As a Jew and Israeli, stop the genocide in Gaza.” The first time, she was released shortly after, and the second time, she was charged with “inciting racial hatred.” The charge was later dropped. She was arrested a third time for holding a sign that read, “Zionism kills.” She was again released, but her sign was then confiscated.

A former air force programmer remarked on X that “Germany has lost its mind,” screen-shotting a story about the country’s conviction of a woman who insulted a gang rapist and outrageously was sentenced to a weekend in jail while the gang rapist spent no time in prison due to his age.

Non-Binary German “Anti-Fascist” Who Went On Hammer Rampage In Budapest Claims Extradition To Hungary Is “Transphobic”

A German left-wing extremist who attacked multiple innocent people in Budapest after mistaking them for “Nazis” claimed to be “non-binary” in an effort to avoid extradition to Hungary. Simeon Ravi Trux is now demanding to be returned to Germany on the basis that Hungary is “gender-, homo-, and trans-hostile.”

Trux, 23, is a member of a left-wing militant group called “Hammerbande,” which was established in Leipzig, Germany, in 2017. The group is known for assaulting individuals they label as “right wing” with hammers and batons. Often, they have no basis for associating their targets with the “far-right” beyond unconfirmed assumptions.

On February 9, 2023, Trux travelled from his home in Jena, Germany, to participate in an assault on three people in front of a café in Budapest, Hungary. The attackers injured the victims by bludgeoning them with their weapons, causing them to suffer bruises, contusions, and fractures. 

These attacks occurred around the so-called “Day of Honor” in Hungary, when neo-Nazis and right-wing extremist groups from all over Europe travel to glorify the failed breakout attempt by the German Wehrmacht and Waffen-SS from Budapest, besieged by the Red Army in 1945. However, Trux and his associates are said to have assaulted random people who they believed to be far-right simply on the basis of their clothing colors.

Following the attack, Trux fled back to Germany.

Hungarian law enforcement issued a European arrest warrant against Trux for membership in a criminal organization and grievous bodily harm. He was finally apprehended by German law enforcement in December of 2023 and placed in pre-trial detention in Dresden. At that time, public broadcasters like Tagesschau reported him as being a “man” named “Simeon T.”

In February of 2024, the Federal Prosecutor’s Office took over the investigation against “the German national Simeon T.” and obtained an arrest warrant from the Federal Court of Justice against him. The case was taken over by federal prosecutors due to its particular significance, as Trux is a member of a criminal organization which, according to the investigative authorities, promotes a “militant left-wing extremist ideology” that sought to use “violence against members of the political right-wing spectrum.”

However, during his pre-trial detention, Trux began claiming to be a “non-binary person” and using the name “Maja.”

Trux’s lawyers submitted a comprehensive statement arguing that Trux would not receive a fair trial in Hungary due to his gender identity. Trux’s attorney, Maik Elster, obtained an interim injunction from the Federal Constitutional Court in June 2024, preventing Trux’s extradition to the Republic of Hungary, arguing that Hungary has “gender-, homo-, and trans-hostile policies.”

The court responsible for Trux’s extradition to Hungary was urged to not rely on “information provided by the Hungarian authorities,” and stressed that the Hungarian prison system “does not maintain a register of prisoners’ gender identity,” but only records their sex. They argued that Trux would be classified as a male in the system, placing him at risk of harm.

However, the injunction from the Federal Constitutional Court was granted slightly too late, and was imposed just a few hours after Trux had already been transferred to Austria as the first leg of his transport to Hungary.

According to Die Welt, Trux was flown to Austria by helicopter at 2 AM by the State Criminal Police Office because authorities feared attacks by militant left-wing extremists who had threatened to prevent his extradition “by any means.”

As reported by Tagesspiegel, left-wing extremists called for violence against judges and officials following the news Trux had already been sent to Hungary. The activists claimed that “the time for demonstrations was over,” and that no one involved in the process “should be able to sleep peacefully.”

Since Trux was extradited to Hungary, there have been repeated marches by violent left-wing extremists, particularly in strongholds of left-wing autonomists like Hamburg, Berlin, and Leipzig.

They have adopted the chat “Free Maja,” referring to Truss’s newfound “non-binary” identity, and are accusing the German state of putting him in harm’s way by sending him to a country that does not recognize his gender identity.

Trux’s lawyers have also successfully filed a constitutional complaint, claiming that the extradition was a violation of Article 4 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union (CFREU), as determined by the Federal Constitutional Court in its decision on February 6, 2025. According to the ruling, the court did not do enough to assess whether or not Trux would be safe, as a non-binary person, in a Hungarian prison.

The first Hungarian hearing in the Trux case is scheduled for February 21, 2025, and, after a possible conviction, he may be returned to Germany.

When Trux was arrested and extradited to Hungary, the Self-Determination Act had not yet come into force in Germany, meaning he would have been charged under his birth sex and name. But since November 1, the process for changing legal name and sex markers on official documents has been dramatically eased, and even criminals are able to obtain new documents upon request.

Since the implementation of the Act, almost 15.000 individuals in Germany have altered their legal sex, a figure which significantly surpasses the initial estimate of 4,000 total changes per year.

French Mayor faces prison for refusing to marry illegal migrant under expulsion order

Robert Ménard, the Conservative Mayor of Béziers, is looking at a possible prison term for refusing to officiate the marriage of an illegal Algerian migrant subject to deportation.

He was said to face up to five years in prison, a $75,000 fine and a ban from holding office.

The hearing of his case, relocated to the city of Montpellier, has been scheduled for February 18 under a fast-track guilty-plea procedure (CRPC), meaning there will be no full trial. Instead, Ménard will negotiate a sentence directly with the public prosecutor.

On July 7, 2023, Ménard had refused to marry “Mustapha”, an Algerian national under an OQTF order (Obligation to Leave French Territory) and his fiancée Eva.

Days later, Mustapha was arrested and deported to Algeria. Eva has since become a plaintiff in the case against the Mayor.

Despite facing legal consequences, Ménard remained defiant.

“As Mayor, I must officiate marriages. But as a judicial police officer, I must uphold public safety. This man was in an irregular situation and was unfavourably known to the police. I couldn’t marry them — it’s common sense.”

Ménard has argued that he was not in the wrong.

“I’m flabbergasted. I’ve done nothing wrong — I’m just caught in a contradiction,” he said.

Ménard’s refusal was illegal, as marriage was a fundamental right protected under Article 12 of the European Convention on Human Rights.

While he said he initially suspected a sham marriage, an investigation by public authorities found no evidence of fraud.

Ménard’s case has ignited debate over France’s immigration policies. French interior minister Bruno Retailleau said he understood Ménard and hinted at a potential change in the law.

On February 16, Retailleau expressed support for a draft law that would prohibit marriage when one spouse was in France illegally.

“We all know that marriage can be used to give immigrants legal status,” he said, signalling a possible shift in policy.

“I think that when a rule is wrong, it should be changed. The bill will be backed by the government, through the Minister of Justice”, he added.

The French Senate was due to examine this bill, put forward by the Centrist Stéphane Demilly, on February 27.

We Stand with JD Vance Versus Europe’s ‘Enemy Within’

Wikimedia Commons , Gage Skidmore, CC-BY-SA-2.0

Even before I had heard JD Vance’s speech, I knew it must be something special simply from the horrified reactions of the EU elites and their media allies. 

We publish the US Vice President’s speech to the Munich security conference in full on europeanconservative.com, because we recognise that it marks a dividing line in Western politics. And because we agree with pretty much every word of it.

Since the moment he stopped speaking on Friday, Vance has been loudly accused of “attacking Europe”. No, he didn’t. He gave a devastating critique of the EU and UK leaders who have themselves betrayed the foundations of European democracy and Western civilisation. They are the ones who are attacking what Europe should stand for.

As he said, the most worrying threat to Europe now “is not Russia, it’s not China, it’s not any other external actor. What I worry about is the threat from within, the retreat of Europe from some of its most fundamental values, values shared with the United States of America.” 

Vance’s extraordinary speech was aimed against Europe’s ‘enemy within’— the ruling elites who do not believe in their own nations, peoples or history. Far from being “anti-European”, he came down on the side of the millions of people across Europe who are revolting against the bankrupt old political establishment. 

Vance outlined a hit list of the key issues on which Europe’s leaders are betraying Europeans—much the same issues you will find at the top of our agenda.

He slammed official Europe for retreating on free speech and imposing censorship by branding dissident views as “so-called misinformation”. He attacked the EU and European governments for an open borders policy which has exposed their people to the sort of terrorist attack that struck Munich last week. “No voter on this continent went to the ballot box to open the flood gates to millions of unvetted immigrants”. But, he observed to the delight of this veteran Brexiteer, “In England, they voted for Brexit. … And more and more, all over Europe, they’re voting for political leaders who promise to put an end to out-of-control migration.” 

He expressed near-disbelief at the attacks on democracy which mean EU officials can boast of cancelling an election result in Romania, while German politicians demand a ban on the second-most popular party before their general election.

As Vance summed all of this up: 

Now, to many of us on the other side of the Atlantic, it looks more and more like old, entrenched interests hiding behind ugly Soviet era words like misinformation and disinformation, who simply don’t like the idea that somebody with an alternative viewpoint might express a different opinion, or, God forbid, vote a different way, or, even worse, win an election.

Mr Vice President, it looks a lot like that to many of us on this side of the Atlantic, too!

What brings these issues together is the EU elites’ fundamental fear and loathing of the demos—the people. As Vance said, “what no democracy, American, German or European, will survive, is telling millions of voters that their thoughts and concerns, their aspirations, their pleas for relief are invalid or unworthy of even being considered. … To believe in democracy is to understand that each of our citizens has wisdom and has a voice”. 

Five hundred years after NiccolòMachiavelli wrote that “The multitude is wiser and more constant than a prince,” it somehow sounds revolutionary once more to hear a Western leader praise the wisdom of the masses. And how startling to hear that in Europe, at a time when the anti-democratic EU elites prefer to put their faith, not in princes, but in equally unelected judges, commissioners and experts.

Since Munich was a security conference, Vance brought the issue back to the question of defence. “But what has seemed a little bit less clear to me—and certainly I think to many of the citizens of Europe—is what exactly it is that you’re defending yourselves for.” In other words—what is it that Europe’s leaders want to fight for? The answer to that question could decide the future of NATO and much more. 

“Europe faces many challenges, but the crisis this continent faces right now, the crisis I believe we all face together, is one of our own making,” said Vance. “If you’re running in fear of your own voters, there is nothing America can do for you, nor, for that matter, is there anything that you can do for the American people who elected me and elected President Trump. You need democratic mandates to accomplish anything of value. “

Vice President Vance has gone back to face the “many challenges” his own country faces, of course, But in hurling those political grenades at the crumbling walls of fortress Europe, he exploded some history-defining questions that we cannot allow to be swept back under the plush carpets of Brussels. 

At the time of the European elections last year, I wrote a Democracy Watch Column entitled (with reference to U.S. author John Dos Passos), “All Right, We Are Two Europes”. It highlighted the divide between official Europe, where the elites were clinging to power, and the real Europe where millions of ordinary are in revolt against their policies and rule.

All right, now, maybe even more: we are two Wests. The divide is not America versus Europe, nor just Vance versus Von der Leyen. It is the people versus the elites, the oligarchs versus the demos, the cancel culture warriors versus those who believe free speech is the lifeblood of our civilisation. 

We know where we stand. Whose side are you on?

German AfD’s Weidel in Fiery Exchange With BILD: Merz Refusing AfD Alliance for Greens Is ‘Voter Fraud’ – Wants To Have Good Relations With Russia – Mass Deportation of Illegals

Foto: AfD

German AfD leader and Chancellor candidate Alice Weidel had a long interview with German paper BILD.

Needless to say, it was quite adversarial.

But you will not see it below, because I think the real fire was in Weidel’s statements: clear, unambiguous and unafraid.

Hatred towards her has become common-place, as she has to send her family to live in Switzerland, and can’t live in her house, having a high-risk level, can’t even go shopping.

Weidel approached CDU’s Friedrich Merz, supposed favorite for next Chancellor, with ‘an open hand’ and a warning: doing a coalition with current government’s Greens and Olaf Scholz’s SPD is VOTER FRAUD.

Weidel: “We have two large bars in the polls – the black [CDU] and the blue [AfD]. It is the will of the voters that we have a blue-black coalition. Then we would also have stable majorities and could finally make politics for our country and not against it. Since Friedrich Merz has ruled out a coalition with the AfD, he can only work with the Greens and with the SPD. In other words, what he is doing right now is nothing more than voter deception, even voter fraud. (…) Voters simply have to know that if they vote for Friedrich Merz, that they will get the Greens, a Habeck as Minister of Economic Affairs – that’s just part of it.”

The reporter wants to bully her for the common-sense policies of wanting ‘undisturbed trade with Russia’, lifting of the sanctions and repairing the Nord Stream pipelines.

Weidel: “We want to have very good relations with our European neighbors. (…) But we also want to have a very good relationship with the great powers. This includes Russia. (…) Until two years ago, we purchased cheap natural gas from Russia through a Nord Stream consortium. (…) What we want is to end a sanctions policy that is above all one thing: damaging to our country. We have the highest energy prices in the world. We are no longer competitive.”

Reporter insists that she denounces the Russian threats to Germany.

Weidel: “But we did it the other way around all the time. Friedrich Merz has threatened to deliver Taurus. He used it to advertise. […] Donald Trump doesn’t have [a critical word for Russia] either. You have to sit down at the negotiating table. You have to talk to each other. We as the AfD have said nothing else, that we must enter into peace negotiations. And I think that alone is serious politics. And above all, we must end a self-damaging sanctions policy at all costs.”

The reporter wants to talk about ‘remigration’, that for some groups it means to also expel Germans with a migration background.

Weidel: “The term remigration means the implementation of law and order. Since 2015, for ten years, the government has been violating the law here. People can come to our country illegally. They are not deported, even though they are here illegally and/or commit crimes. And we say very clearly: We have to close the borders. We must control our borders and reject illegals. We have to expel criminals. Right away. They are not allowed to be here at all. And so do illegal residents. Nothing else means remigration. There is no talk of [legal migrants turned citizens] at all. (…) People who go to work here, who pay taxes here, are very welcome. We are also happy to give them citizenship.”

One good question: AfD wants more money for the Bundeswehr, more money for pensions. They also want to reduce income, corporate, sales and energy taxes, as well as abolish property tax, acquisition tax, and real estate transfer tax.

How on Earth do you make this work financially? Unfortunately for the reporter Weidel had a good answer.

Weidel: “We also want to abolish the CO₂ levy. Above all, we want to abolish the Renewable Energy Sources Act, the EEG, which has so far cost us around 500 billion euros. That is about 20 billion annually in the budget. Then there is also the fact that the network has to be expanded – according to estimates by institutes, this is around 460 billion euros. That would bring us to almost a trillion euros in subsidy payments for unprofitable renewable energies. If you delete that, you will have almost financed it. If you then no longer pay citizen’s money and social benefits to foreign citizens who have never paid into our coffers, then you come to about 135 billion in savings, then they even have a surplus.”

UK: Prominent LGBT Activist Raped 12-Year-Old Boy, Court Hears

A court has heard that a prominent LGBT activist from Surrey, UK, raped a 12 year old boy after inviting him over to smoke marijuana. Stephen Ireland, who founded Pride in Surrey in 2018, is currently facing a lengthy list of criminal charges related to the sexual abuse of children.

Ireland has been charged alongside his housemate, David Sutton, who also volunteered with his LGBT activist group.

The two men are jointly charged with 15 offenses relating to the sexual abuse of children, including four counts of arranging the commission of a child sex offense, six counts of conspiracy to sexually assault a child, and one count of conspiracy to kidnap a child.

Sutton is also facing five additional counts on charges involving the production of indecent photographs of children. Ireland is facing an additional 20 counts, including raping a child and causing a child to engage in sexual activity. Prosecutors say the offenses occurred between August 2022 and July 2024. Almost all of the children in question were male.

This week, Guildford Crown Court heard that the pair deliberately targeted children “for their sexual proclivities,” an allegation both of them are set to tell jurors was completely “ill-founded” and “untrue.”

During proceedings, it was revealed that in April of 2024, Ireland contacted the 12-year-old victim through gay dating app Grindr. Ireland then met with the child, and took him back to his flat to sexually assault him. According to a police interview conducted with the victim at a later date, pornography had been playing at Ireland’s residence on a laptop.

Following the assault, Ireland began to refer to the child as his “secret underage boy” in an encrypted Telegram chat, saying it was “naughty and kinky” that the victim was just 12 years old. Ireland also reportedly asked the boy if he would have a threesome with him and Sutton; Sutton allegedly received a message from Ireland about the boy later.

As previously reported by Reduxx, prior to his charges, Ireland was an influential and respected figure within the LGBT community. As the founder of a Pride group in Surrey, he was responsible for organizing the annual local Pride festival. His work put him in close contact with regional police, who repeatedly recommended that people follow his group from their official social media accounts.

Ireland was invited to speak by the police multiple times, including at a training day for their LGBT task force.

Disturbingly, Surrey Police visited a local senior school with Pride in Surrey on June 6 last year, shortly before Ireland was arrested on child sexual abuse charges. The timing of the investigation indicates that police were already aware that Ireland would be prosecuted, yet still collaborated with him on the youth-based project.

Ireland also had extensive connections to the education system, having been a patron of the trans activist charity Educate and Celebrate, which created lesson plans and resources for schools in order to “embed gender, gender identity and sexual orientation” into the fabric of educational institutions.

Another patron of the organization is Peter Tatchell, who has repeatedly drawn controversy for making sympathetic comments about child sexual abuse and pedophilia. Ireland once cited Tatchell as an “inspiration” in a glowing social media post from 2023.

In 2017, the charity placed books encouraging children to question their gender on their reading lists for nurseries and primary schools – meaning they would be accessible to children as young as three years old.

The organization ran a PRIDE Youth Network program targeted at children aged 11 – 18 years old, and encouraged youth to “campaign for social justice in their schools” while providing “a particular focus on gender identity and sexual orientation.”

In August of 2024, Reduxx learned that Ireland had further used his influence in the LGBT community to groom and encourage a teen girl to embrace being “transgender.”

In 2018, the 40-year-old communicated with “Julie,” then 16, telling her to come to the Pride in Surrey event that year. One year later, at the August 2019 Pride event, Julie can be seen dressed in “leather pup” fetish gear, a community most associated with gay males that involve sexually submissive partners roleplaying as dogs. In the photo, Ireland can be seen holding a lead fastened around the teenage girl’s neck.

Julie began volunteering with Pride in Surrey when she was just 17, a move that she credited with giving her the backing to take testosterone, and undergo a double mastectomy and hysterectomy. Ireland spent her 18th birthday with her, while she was wearing the pup fetish gear. The alleged child sexual abuser had previously defended minors being involved in the pup community, claiming children “inherently understand everything.”

UK Arrests Man Who Burned Koran, Frees Muslim Who Stabbed Him -“charged with intent to cause against the religious institution of Islam”

Under Islamization, burning a Koran is considered a worse offense than stabbing a man burning a Koran.

A man who is believed to have “burned the Koran outside the Turkish embassy in London” has been charged after he was attacked by a knifeman.

Hamit Coskunhas been charged with intent to cause against the religious institution of Islam, harassment, alarm or distress during an incident near the consulate.

Footage posted on social media show a man burning a book outside its barrier. The same man is then seen lying on the ground as someone kicks him and slashes towards him with a knife before walking away.

Moussa Kadrhas also been charged with causing actual bodily harm and possession of an offensive weapon. He was bailed and will appear at Westminster Magistrates’ Court on Monday.

Note the emphasis of the coverage on the offense of burning a Koran with only a secondary emphasis on assaulting a man with a knife.

In keeping with that, Hamit Coskun, the Kurdish man who burned the Koran, was “remanded in custody”, while the Muslim terrorist who attacked him, Moussa Kadri, “was bailed”.

Burn a Koran and you go to prison. Stab a man for Islam and you get bailed.

But why expect anything else when the UK has adopted “intent to cause against the religious institution of Islam” aka blasphemy as a crime?

This is not British law. This is Sharia Islamic law.
