Allah's Willing Executioners

The controversy surrounding the banquets organised by Le Canon français shows no sign of abating. The initiative, launched by two young entrepreneurs to revive traditional banquets centred on culinary specialities from across France, has come under fire from the press and the Left on the grounds that it perpetuates an ideology of exclusion and promotes far-right ideas. The rector of the Paris Mosque has spoken out publicly to, in turn, attack these festive gatherings which bring together several thousand enthusiastic guests in towns and cities across France.

In a video dated April 29th, Chems-Eddine Haffiz, rector of the Paris Mosque—who, given his official position, is regarded as a kind of spokesman for Islam in France—lashed out at the Canon français and its banquets: the fact that it celebrates a cuisine featuring pork, he claimed, is proof of a logic of exclusion. He condemns the “4,000 guests gathered around a spit-roasted pig” and accuses them of “symbolically” excluding those who do not share this cuisine—that is to say, Muslims.

His statement was met with outraged reactions from right-wing politicians, as well as from ordinary “canonniers”, as the participants in these popular feasts are known.

The conservative mayor of Chalon-sur-Saône, Gilles Platret, took offence at Haffiz’s statement, describing the rector’s outburst as “delusional.” “We have the right to celebrate without being accused of exclusion,” he pointed out, whilst announcing his intention to host a banquet in his Burgundy town soon. On social media, Platret accuses Haffiz of being “a mouthpiece for the dictator Tebboune” and questions the rector’s true motives:

What is he after? To ban banquets where the food served isn’t halal? This is a dangerous trend that I would describe as seditious, as it is likely to accelerate the process of communal conflict. Which, incidentally, would not be unwelcome in Algiers.

On May 5th, MEP Marion Maréchal also reacted on X, pointing out that there is nothing exclusive about eating pork, but that it is one of the oldest and most fundamental ingredients in French cuisine, throughout the country:

We are in France: here, we eat pork in all its forms, always and everywhere. If that doesn’t suit you, you’re free to go and live elsewhere, for example, in a country that applies Sharia law.

Much to the chagrin of the organisers, who refuse to be politicised against their will, the banquets are now at the heart of an intense political battle—not to say a clash of civilisations.

It is a fact that French cuisine has celebrated pork in all its forms for centuries: sausages and saucissons, boudin, sauerkraut, terrines and pâtés have reigned supreme on French tables since time immemorial and are an integral part of the national consciousness. A saying well known to gourmets and peasants alike proudly declares that “everything in the pig is good” (tout est bon dans le cochon). Not a single region, from north to south, from Brittany to Alsace, lacks a pork-based recipe among its specialities. Since the Middle Ages, the motif of the pig has been omnipresent in both sacred and secular iconography, proof of the royal status it holds in the French imagination. We see it being reared in oak forests; we delight in the folk festival honouring its slaughter, a promise of culinary delights once the animal has been prepared.

It is not just in cinema that it takes centre stage in plots, as in a masterpiece such as La Traversée de Paris, whose story revolves around the perilous transport of a freshly slaughtered pig through the German-occupied city.

With all due respect to the rector of the Paris Mosque, a ‘pig-themed’ festival excludes no one. Those who do not eat it are simply not obliged to come, just as no one is obliged to attend a rock concert if they only like baroque music (or the reverse). The fact that the consumption of pork is now perceived as a factor of exclusion speaks volumes about the mental confusion and the militancy of some.

A trans-identified male freshman from an elite school in California won the Women’s Varsity 400-meter race at the Prep League Championship Finals last week, defeating a number of more experienced female athletes to the title, including his own sister.

Paul Haaga, also known as “Lina,” won the girls’ final with a time of 59.45 seconds. His older sister, Sienna, finished second with 60.03 seconds.

Haaga attends the elite Polytechnic School in Pasadena, where tuition fees can reach $48,000 or more per year, while his sister attends the neighboring Flintridge Preparatory School. Haaga also helped his team take gold in the Women’s Varsity 4 x 400 relay to clinch first place by just under a second, once again pushing his sister into second place.

Despite only being a 14-year-old freshman, Haaga has already established himself as a strong competitor within multiple girls’ athletic disciplines.

Along with competing in track, he was described as “one of the key singles players” for the school in girls tennis, and has also tried his hand at basketball, swimming, lacrosse, and water polo. Haaga has participated on female teams and in female sports since his earliest years due to being transitioned at a very young age.

Haaga has been vocal about his demands to be included in girls’ sports. Speaking to The Guardian in January, when the debate around trans-identified athletes competing at the school or college level reached the Supreme Court, Haaga said that sports was his “life,” functioning as not just “a release and an escape, but also a way to connect with other people and make new friends.”

He claimed that any ban on trans-identified male athletes in female sports would make him “uncomfortable” and that it would result in him being “robbed” of the friends and opportunities he’s made in girl’s athletics.

Haaga claimed that the “political climate” on the trans sports question means that he now has to “worry every time [he steps] on the track or the court that somebody might disagree with [his] participation,” which he described as “really scary,” as he would have a “moment of bliss” stolen from him.

“We’re not trying to be monsters, or predators, or anything malevolent, we’re just trying to enjoy what we do, and we’re just trying to enjoy that release, and we’re just trying to find connection and a team and a community to support us,” he continued.

Despite Haaga positioning himself as belonging to an oppressed minority, he comes from a well-connected and wealthy family. His grandfather, Paul Haaga Jr., was at one time the acting President and CEO of NPR, which often takes a strong pro-trans line in their coverage, and is also a former trustee of the Facebook Oversight Board.

In a statement to Reduxx, a representative from HeCheated, an independent platform that tracks male participation in female sports, expressed frustration and disbelief that Haaga displaced his own sister in a girls competition.

“In instances where girls are denied fair competition and consequently lose titles and opportunities to boys, they should be able to rely on their families for support, even if the school administration opposes them,” the representative said. “While it is not uncommon for parents to favor a son over a daughter, this case presents an especially nightmarish situation in which the daughter has no familial support and no one to stand up for her right to be recognized as a deserving champion.”

In April of last year, Reduxx reported on the case of Charlie Rothenberger, a then 17-year-old student at Champlin Park High School in Minnesota, who, like Haaga, was transitioned by his parents at an extremely early age. Rothenberger, known as Marissa, was credited with helping his school’s team dominate at softball, playing as a starting pitcher for their fastpitch team.

Unlike Haaga, Rothenberger attempted to conceal his transgender status and many of his teammates and competitors were completely unaware that he was a boy.

One former teammate told Reduxx she thought he was just an “awkward” girl for many years, and that looking back on the fact that Rothenberger shared female facilities and bathrooms with them, “disgusted” her. 

“Many players and I work so hard to achieve something through this sport and we find it unfair that our spot can be stolen from us,” the girl said. “This shouldn’t be allowed and boys can stay in boys sports and leave us girls alone.”

This February, 16-year-old sophomore student Kallie Keeler alleged that she was unknowingly matched up against a biological male in a girls’ wrestling competition in Washington, who proceeded to sexually assault her during the course of the match. In a video taken by her mother, Keeler’s face can be seen quickly twisting into an expression of panic and confusion. At one point, Keeler is visibly attempting to communicate something to her mother, who couldn’t initially understand her. Keeler later clarified that she had been saying: “Her fingers are in my (vagina).” Keeler let her opponent win the bout quickly to just get it over.

Her opponent, Taufa’ase’e Tei, also known as Trixie Tei, wrote on Instagram that it was “exhausting” to have to “constantly defend” his existence as a trans-identified man. “I didn’t choose to be different, I chose to be honest. I deserve respect, safety, and love just like any other girl. Even when the world feels harsh, my life still has value, and my voice still deserves to be heard,” Tei said on his now-deleted account.

Nurseries in Wales have been instructed to report incidents of toddlers engaging in “racist” behaviour to the police in accordance to taxpayer-funded guidelines backed by the Welsh Labour-run British government.

The guidelines are reported to contain a extensive list of instructions for childcare workers to respond to “racist incidents” involving babies, toddlers, and children bellow the age of 12 and assess if an event would constitute a “hate crime” before reporting the case to the British police. It is stated the instructions’ ultimate goals is to turn childcare centres into “anti-racist” environments in accordance to a series of woke initiatives and precepts spearheaded by the leftist government in the devolved Welsh regional parliament.

The Telegraph detailed that some of the “anti-racist” instructions listed in the guidelines include calling the UK’s 999 emergency number or speaking to the police about the “racist” incident and taking actions alongside law enforcement while ensuring that all records of the incident are detailed. Should an event not be deemed as a “hate crime” the childcare workers are instead urged to take other actions, such as offering “age-appropriate learning support opportunities for the perpetrator” or refer to a flow chart to explore disciplinary routes should the toddlers involved exhibit “resistance.”

The text asks workers to question how much they “understand what unconscious biases are” and how competent they perceive themselves on addressing or reporting “racism among children/adults.” A risk assessment may be undertaken against the ‘threat of racism,” within the context of what the guidelines reportedly define as a “changing political context” and “racist demonstrations taking place across the UK.”

The guidelines reportedly state that, since the Welsh childcare workforce is overwhelmingly white, nearly all of the staff will have have “the privilege of not having to think about the day-to-day microaggressions and systemic and institutional racism.”

The document also contains a series of woke diversity-related directives, and suggests that childcare staff ask themselves how well do they understand “what white privilege is” and how it can affect their lives and that of others.

Childcare staff is instructed to ensure that child spaces contain books, dolls, posters, and other items that are “suitably diverse” and which make their “anti-racist” stance visible all the way — down to even what available snacks there are at the centre. Additionally, it suggests to workers that “toileting practices vary across cultures,” asserting, “These practices may be very different from your own, but it does not make them unsanitary or incorrect.”

“Use this range of resources daily to give children the opportunity to explore diversity in a positive, supportive and playful way,” the guidelines reportedly read, per The Telegraph.

The guidelines are part of the broader ongoing efforts of Wales’ leftist government to achieve an “anti-racist nation” by 2030. Launched in 2024, the programme says it is moving Wales towards building an “inclusive and equitable society for all our Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic people and communities in Wales.”

In that same year, the Welsh government funded and launched an “anti-racist” set of guidelines for local child care centres developed by organisations including the Diversity and Anti-Racist Professional Learning organization (DARPL).

Since 2021, DARLP has reportedly received more than £1.3m from the Welsh Government. Former Welsh Mental Health and Early Years leader Jayne Briant praised DARLP and CWLWM’s work to progress the Welsh government’s anti-racist plan goals during a 2024 conference, where she stressed that her work included “embedding” anti-racist principles the curriculum and provision, training educators and practitioners to “recognize and challenge their own biases, and creating environments that celebrate diversity and promote inclusion.”

The 37-year-old stateless Palestinian man, who is alleged to have murdered a 14-year-old boy in Memmingen, Bavaria, may have posted Islamist content on TikTok prior to the crime. In several videos currently circulating on social media, a man believed to be the suspect poses with his index finger extended, in the so-called Tawhid salute. Islamic chants, known as nasheeds, can also be heard in the background of several videos. A Palestinian flag is displayed in the profile description.

The Memmingen public prosecutor’s office declined to comment to the newspaper JUNGEN FREIHEIT on the ongoing investigation. It was unable to either confirm or deny whether the TikTok channel actually belongs to the suspect.

Most of the videos posted online show the alleged suspect exercising at an outdoor sports facility on Saarlandstraße in Memmingen. He is frequently seen practising martial arts techniques such as kicks. One of the videos – although it only shows him doing pull-ups – has the words ‘Free Palestine’ as its thumbnail.

The suspect is alleged to have killed 14-year-old German Jermaine B. on Sunday. Police officers found the lifeless body in the early hours of Monday morning in an empty, dilapidated house. During the search for the perpetrator, they came across the rejected asylum seeker on Monday evening. When they attempted to arrest the man, he lunged at the officers with a knife. A police officer then opened fire and killed the 37-year-old.

According to the public prosecutor’s office, the suspect was born in Abu Qash, a town in the Israeli-occupied West Bank. However, the authorities were unable to determine the asylum seeker’s nationality. The migrant did not have a passport. For this reason, they granted him temporary leave to remain and did not deport him. Yet the 37-year-old was already known to the police and had previously been convicted twice and fined: recently for unlawful residence and previously for criminal damage.

Catholic AfD politician Nicole Höchst has said that her party is “grounded in the Christian faith and Christian values of Catholic social teaching.”

In an exclusive interview with LifeSiteNews, Höchst discussed whether the Alternative for Germany (AfD) is a Christian party, her view of the Synodal Way of the German Catholic bishops, and her personal faith journey.

Höchst is a member of the German Parliament, or Bundestag, and the AfD’s spokesperson for religious affairs. She is also a practicing Catholic.

Regarding the AfD’s policy positions, Höchst said, “We are, after all, grounded in the Christian faith – specifically, in the Christian values of Catholic social teaching, as one might say – and this is clearly articulated, above all, in our party platform; consequently, we base many of our political positions on this Christian theological foundation. ”

However, many AfD politicians are not practicing Christians, and one of the party’s leaders, Alice Weidel, is in an openly lesbian relationship. Asked about this apparent discrepancy, Höchst said, “For one thing, we’re not a cult, so we’re not some kind of ‘superior’ group compared to the German Church[es]; rather, we’re a cross-section of society as a whole, so to speak, and we practice the tolerance and neighborly love necessary for successful coexistence.”

“Look, I’m not exactly the ideal image of a spokesperson on religious policy either,” she said, noting that she is officially divorced, by law. However, “I haven’t ‘remarried,’ because according to the Catholic faith, marriage lasts until death. I respect that and live accordingly, but in a civil sense, I am divorced, which isn’t ideal either.”

The AfD positions itself as pro-life and pro-family, stating that they want to reduce the number of abortions, support and strengthen the traditional family, and raise birth rates.

While the AfD is being demonized and branded as “right-wing extremist” by the mainstream media and the political establishment, Höchst said that she gets attacked most when she posts Christian content on social media.

”I post a lot – I’m very active on social media – but I get the most death threats when I post in Christian contexts. And that’s something that really unsettled me at first,” she stated.

“Of course, some people don’t like it when someone who’s a member of the AfD posts something Christian, because we’re portrayed as the Antichrist himself,” Höchst added.

Addressing the growing hostility against faithful Christians in her country, she said: “Desecrations of churches have increased, and Christian children are being bullied in schoolyards – so I think there’s already a general decline in Christianity in Germany.”

“For us [the AfD], religious freedom in Germany also means that we’re allowed to openly profess our faith in Christianity,” Höchst said.

Personal faith journey

The AfD politician recalled her own journey back to the Catholic faith: “I was baptized Roman Catholic, of course, and grew up that way, and starting around age 16, the longer I went to school, and the longer I studied [at university], the further I initially drifted away from the Christian faith.”

“Like all the other students, I eventually became secularized and felt superior, and to make a long story short, I had some life-changing experiences where I was very grateful that I could pray to Jesus Christ and to God.”

She said that two of her four children were in intensive care and almost died when they were very little.

She said her firstborn son had “a severe quadruple heart defect” and had to have open-heart surgery “for several hours” when he was only nine months old.

“He survived it. There were several very tense moments afterward as well, and he is still alive today, thank God, in the truest sense of the word.”

“And then my second-born had severe encephalitis. I almost lost my daughter,” she recalled.

“That still affects me deeply. And thankfully, I really, really had that support then.”

“You’re truly left completely exposed, utterly helpless and powerless, and nothing that helps in everyday life can be done there,” she stated. “And when you’re thrown back like that to your very essence, I think you feel much the same as if you were standing before your Creator and could do nothing but humbly ask for help.”

Criticism of the German Synodal Way

Asked about the heretical German Synodal Way, Höchst said, “I believe this [Synodal] Way is [an] effort to found a separate sect with elements that are decidedly not Roman Catholic, such as the ceremonial blessing of same-sex unions” or “ordination of women.”

“And that leads to a schism, in my opinion, if it isn’t already in open schism.”

The heterodox German bishops have distanced themselves from the AfD and frequently criticize the party for being “right-wing extremist” and even “anti-Christian.”

Responding to the criticism that AfD’s use of the term “remigration” would be “extreme,” Höchst said that the party “wants to deport criminals.”

“We want people without valid residence permits to leave this country. And it’s also completely incomprehensible why people known to be Islamists who don’t have German citizenship are still in Germany.”

Referencing the ordo amoris, a theological framework of the “order of love” laid out by saints and Doctors of the Church such as St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, Höchst said that there is “a hierarchy of charity” where one has to take care of their own family and nation first before caring for foreigners.

“And of course, as a Christian, my first duty is to keep my own home and my family in order and safe,” she stated.

“I am not obligated to sacrifice myself, my family, and everything I have,” for the supposed benefits of mass immigration, Höchst explained.

Surrogacy debate

Höchst also addressed the debate around surrogacy, which is currently illegal in Germany. The topic gained media attention when a prominent politician from the Christian Democrats (CDU) had a child via a surrogate, together with his homosexual partner.

“Of course, I take a very critical view of surrogacy,” she said. “I also take a very critical view of the so-called ‘right to a child.’ For me, that doesn’t exist.”

“To me, a child is a gift from God – a being with its own dignity from the very beginning – and this dignity is taken away from this little being, this developing child, when it is turned into a commodity.”

She said that homosexual couples would have to accept that they cannot have children.

“And this tendency to bear one’s own life, one’s own fate, as one’s own cross – that is something the many egomaniacs in Germany have truly lost,” she stated.

“I find the decision to place one’s own lifestyle choices above this divine order of the family to be difficult, if not questionable, and it is also not in accordance with German law.”

Current polls show the AfD could receive around 27 percent of the votes nationally, leading all other parties, including the Christian Democrats (CDU/CSU), who lead the government coalition and are polling at 23 percent.

Nigel Farage leads the field of party leaders in Britain in terms of who the public feels best understands the problems facing the country, a poll released on the eve of local elections in the UK found.

A survey from IPSOS released this week found that 38 per cent of the public believe that Reform UK leader Nigel Farage has the best understanding of the issues facing the country.

The Brexit champion was followed by Conservative Party leader Kemi Badenoch at 33 per cent, Labour Party Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer and Liberal Democrat Ed Davey at 32 per cent, and Green Party leader Zack Polanski at just 28 per cent. Yet, concerningly for the Prime Minister, 52 per cent of the public said they do not believe that Starmer fully understands Britain’s problems.

Mr Farage was seen as having the right plans for Britain at 28 per cent, followed by Badenoch and Starmer at 24 per cent, Polanski and Davey at 22 per cent and 21 per cent, respectively. Another majority of 55 per cent said they do not believe Prime Minister Starmer has the right plans for the country.

The Reform UK boss also leads the field as the most capable leader at 30 per cent, a strong leader at 35 per cent, someone who shares their values at 25 per cent, and someone who gets the “big decisions right” at 22 per cent.

According to IPSOS, Farage came out on top in seven of the most important qualities considered by voters when choosing a leader, while only trailing significantly in terms of who is seen as the most honest person, with Ed Davey leading the way at 32 per cent, Badenoch at 26 per cent, Polanski and Starmer at 24 per cent, and Farage at 20. While 55 per cent said they did not believe Farage was honest, 52 per cent said the same of Prime Minsiter Starmer.

Meanwhile, separate polling from YouGov found that Farage’s Reform UK continues to hold a commanding lead in overall Westminster voting intention at 25 per cent, compared to Labour at 18 per cent, the Tories at 17 per cent, the Greens at 15 per cent, Restore at four per cent, the Scottish National Party (SNP) at three per cent, the Welsh Plaid Cymru at one per cent, and Jeremy Corbyn’s Your Party at zero per cent.

Reform’s lead was even more stark in a survey from Deltapoll for the Daily Mirror newspaper. According to the poll, Reform currently has the support of 29 per cent of the public, compared to Labour at 21 per cent, the Tories at 19 per cent, and the Greens at 12 per cent.

Mr Farage has cast the election as a referendum on Prime Minister Starmer’s leadership, with Thursday’s elections being the first chance most voters have had a chance to weigh in on the government’s performance since Labour came to power just over two years ago.

At a final campaign rally on Tuesday in Wales, the Reform leader accused the Labour Party of abandoning its working-class roots in favour of metropolitan elites and those living off the state, saying: “This is not a Labour party. It’s a welfare party.”

“I chose to come here this evening for my last big speech of the campaign rally because what is about to happen here is that the party that has been able to take Wales for granted for over a 100 years, on Thursday will deservedly get smashed to smithereens by the electorate.”

While the local Welsh government has long been in the hands of the Labour Party, a series of mistakes by the Starmer government, including nearly allowing the Chinese to shut down the UK’s largest steelworks in Port Talbot, have seen their support in the country erode, leaving room for a potential victory by Reform.

Overall, Reform is projected to win around 1,500 council seats across the UK on Thursday, in what the party hopes will provide a springboard base to launch a campaign to confront the Westminster establishment and take control of Downing Street.

The Islamisation of Vienna’s public school system is progressing rapidly.

Latest numbers from the city’s education authority – published today by newspaper Die Presse – show that Muslims now make up 42 per cent of the 114,000 pupils in Vienna’s state schools.

The main other groups are children without a religious affiliation (23 per cent), Catholics (17 per cent) and Orthodox Christians (14 per cent).

In public, middle and polytechnical schools almost half the students (49 per cent) adhere to Islam. These are schools for children aged 10 to 15 who typically learn a trade after school.

In public primary schools for kids aged six to 10, Muslims account for 39 per cent of all students.

Integration expert Kenan Güngör said the proportion of Muslims in Austria had risen especially rapidly since 2015 when large-scale immigration from Arab countries and other Muslim countries to Austria started:

“This is having an impact on schools – because the birth rate is higher among immigrants from Syria, Afghanistan, Iraq, and similar places,”  he said.

Güngör added that, while in the past most Muslims in Austria were of Turkish origin, the recent wave of immigration has brought a shift towards Arab Muslims.

This has led to a change in Muslim attitudes: “In Turkey, there was a traditional form of everyday Islam that allowed for much greater diversity. This is not the case with Arab Islam. Arab Islam is more homogeneous, more fixated on the Quran, and consequently more rigid and radical.

“This also has an impact on how Islam is practised by the pupils in Vienna. This is because this understanding of Islam goes hand in hand with significantly more traditional values and gender roles for women.”

Austrian newspapers regularly report on non-Muslim students being bullied by their Islamist classmates, in some cases allegedly being forced to wear Muslim niqabs to escape victimisation.

Most immigrants from Muslim countries choose to settle in Vienna – where  generous social welfare policies act like a magnet for mostly poorly qualified and unemployed immigrants.

In May 2025, the case of a Syrian family of 13 in Vienna who received €9,000 in (tax-free) welfare per month made headlines. The news caused a wave of anger as a regular family with working parents and 11 children could never receive even close to this amount.

In 2025, the City of Vienna spent more than €1.2 billion on welfare payments, most of which (67 per cent) was paid out to non-Austrians.

Until recently, the visible consequences of Pedro Sánchez’ reckless and criminal mass regularisation had been mostly limited to enormous queues and gridlock in all public immigration offices. In these queues, repeated in every city, numerous riots and fights have broken out, while officials complain that they lack the resources to process paperwork properly, and an extensive network of NGOs has become government collaborators in issuing ‘vulnerability certificates.’ But now, in addition, a wave of stabbings has swept across different parts of Spain over 48 hours, leaving a provisional toll of three homicides and several wounded.

This past Saturday, around 11:00 a.m., a Moroccan man repeatedly stabbed and slit the throat of a girl about 16 years old after attacking several neighbours with knives and stones. The assailant shouted “Allahu Akbar” and walked freely for more than half an hour until he was arrested by the Mossos d’Esquadra on Diagonal Avenue in Barcelona. Neighbours reported that the assailant had been in the neighbourhood for several days exhibiting nervous and aggressive behaviour.

Initially, the mainstream press claimed it was a case of gender-based violence against a woman. As soon as it was established that the assailant was North African, the victim a girl, and that he invoked the name of Allah, the police sealed the assailant’s identity, and the story ceased to be of interest to media outlets aligned with the government. Public television dedicated barely a couple of minutes to the crime, and at no point was it treated as a jihadist attack.

The girl, who was taking a peaceful walk in broad daylight, bled to death in the arms of a neighbour who tried to help her while waiting for the ambulance. It is also scandalous that, despite the knife-wielding assailant having killed one person and injured several others, the Catalan police pursued him for several minutes without shooting him, risking further attacks and further victims. 

That same Saturday evening, an unaccompanied foreign minor (MENA) stabbed a man to death in the centre of Barcelona. Furthermore, numerous residents are reporting a new increase in robberies and assaults in recent days in the Raval neighbourhood of Barcelona—a lawless neighbourhood teeming with immigrants, where attempted robberies, assaults, and sexual assaults against women by Africans are well-known to the police. On Sunday afternoon, again in broad daylight, a man stabbed another man outside a bar in downtown Barcelona. Police have refused to release the nationalities of the two men involved, which is standard practice when immigrants are involved.

In addition, a fourth stabbing occurred in Catalonia that same weekend: on Friday afternoon, a group of young people engaged in a knife fight at the April Fair in Tarragona. According to local reports, the incident began after the victim, a man of North African origin, allegedly tried to rob them at the festival. And at dawn on Monday, a shooting occurred in the street in the Barcelona metropolitan area, outside an illegal after-hours pub. Although no injuries have been reported, several of those involved in the shooting are Dominican.

All of this happened while Spaniards were still reeling from the events of April 27, when a 25-year-old Moroccan man carried out three attempted robberies in Almería in a matter of minutes, attacking his victims with a large knife. Among them was a 17-year-old girl who tried to flee but was knocked down, dragged by her hair, repeatedly kicked, and stabbed in the thigh. During his escape, the assailant had time to kick another woman who was waiting on her motorcycle at a red light. In Almería, the Unified Police Union has denounced several pro-immigrant organisations that collaborate with the government on the regularization process for issuing ‘vulnerability certificates’ without any verification, in exchange for fees ranging between 80 and 100 euros.

On April 23, Spain’s new multicultural normal brought another scene of terror to Palma de Mallorca, where a fight following a robbery left several injured and arrested, all of Romanian, Bolivian, and Moroccan origin. That same day, also in Palma, two illegal immigrants of Algerian origin were arrested for the violent robbery of two delivery women; both had arrived in Spain illegally by boat less than a year earlier. Completing the grim chronicle of mid-April was the news of the arrest in Barcelona of an immigrant for raping and attempting to murder a woman he had deceived through a dating app, as well as a large brawl in a Valencia neighbourhood in which six young immigrants were arrested, two of them undocumented. All of them had extensive criminal records.

And moments before finishing this report, in Valencia, on Monday afternoon, a Colombian immigrant stabbed a man to death in a barbershop.

Meanwhile, as revealed by Ok Diario, Sánchez’s PSOE is encouraging undocumented immigrants to request receipts for their supermarket purchases made before 2026, thus instructing them how to use this to prove their presence in Spain before January 1 of this year and qualify for regularisation. This tactic, according to a video obtained by the Spanish newspaper, was explained by a Socialist MP last Tuesday during an informational session on regularization in Madrid.

Although it is not possible to corroborate this with data at this time, the start of the regularisation process is resulting in an unprecedented, subjective increase in the number of immigrants on the streets in every city. There are countless testimonies on social media explaining that their neighbourhoods have suddenly filled with Moroccans and other Africans, leading them to suspect that the regularization process has created an almost immediate pull factor and that not only those already in Spain will take advantage of it, but also others who have managed to enter in recent weeks to find some loophole to falsely prove their presence in the country before January 1.

Finally, this Monday, the situation surrounding the regularization plan that has outraged Spaniards was illustrated in several TikTok videos, in which young Latinas dance sensually, laugh, and shout with joy while holding their vulnerability certificates. Twitter users have identified the Instagram account of one of them, revealing a lifestyle of luxury that has not prevented the Spanish government from granting her the certificate of ‘vulnerable person,’ which now allows her to join the more than 3.5 million citizens who receive the Minimum Vital Income—between 700 and 1,600 euros a month, paid by Spanish taxpayers.

The only party openly opposing Pedro Sánchez’s disastrous immigration policies is VOX, which has also included the so-called national priority in its regional agreements with the PP. This principle is intended to ensure that Spaniards have priority over foreigners when it comes to access to social assistance and housing. While the PP accepted this agreement where it needed VOX’s support to govern, in the context of the Andalusian election campaign, the PP candidate distanced himself from the national priority this week and instead promised “integration and social advancement” programmes for immigrants.

Three out of four tuberculosis patients in Germany were born abroad, according to data from the Robert Koch Institute as of March 1, 2026. This information was released in response to a parliamentary question from Alternative for Germany (AfD) MP Martin Sichert.

In 2025, a total of 4,070 cases were reported, with 3,036 of those involving individuals born in a foreign country, which represents 74.6 percent of all cases. Furthermore, 2,718 cases involved a combination of a foreign country of birth and a foreign nationality, reported Nius news outlet.

This has been an ongoing issue for years. In 2015, the rate of tuberculosis patients with a foreign background was 70 percent, and by 2023, it reached 75.6 percent. The figure has remained above 69.8 percent since 2015 and has consistently exceeded 74 percent since 2022.

It is also unclear how many of the other approximately 25 percent are German citizens with a foreign background.

However, this is far from the only disease suffered by high rates of foreigners.

Here’s what the RKI and related data show on diseases in Germany where foreigners or people born abroad are heavily overrepresented:

Diphtheria: Virtually 100% linked to refugees and migrants in recent outbreaks

Diphtheria had been extremely rare in Germany for decades, but the picture “changed abruptly” in July 2022, when a significant number of imported cases appeared among refugees primarily from Afghanistan and Syria.

As of March 2023, at least 167 confirmed cases among recently arrived refugees had been reported to the RKI. The outbreak continued through 2025, with 125 confirmed cases in Germany within a single strain cluster alone — the vast majority linked to newly arrived migrants.

Hepatitis B: Over half of infections among migrants

An RKI-affiliated study estimated that more than half of hepatitis B-infected individuals in Germany were migrants. The RKI’s 2022 annual report noted a significant increase in reported hepatitis B and C cases.

HIV: Significant share linked to migration

The number of new HIV diagnoses reported in Germany rose significantly in 2022, primarily due to Ukrainian refugees entering the country. Neighboring countries like Poland have also suffered from soaring HIV rates, tripling in five years due to Ukrainian migration.

Beyond these diseases, German health authorities also report that approximately 30 percent of asylum seekers have mental illness. Many of these individuals have gone on to attack Germans, including murdering them, in high-profile attacks.

Labour expected to suffer electoral humiliation.

From scandal to crisis and back, failing British Prime Minister Keir Starmer keeps dragging himself through the motions of a pretend leadership – always involved in the most pointless summits and meetings.

But tomorrow (7), something may fundamentally change.

As British voters cast ballots in local elections, they could be sealing the end of Starmer’s premiership.

🚨Keir Starmer is heading for a historic meltdown: potentially the worst council election losses for any sitting UK government in modern history.

Up to 1,850 seats could vanish.

His leadership is a total catastrophe.

Associated Press reported:

“Starmer’s center-left Labour Party is expected to take a battering in elections for local authorities across England and for semiautonomous legislatures in Scotland and Wales.

With the prime minister’s popularity in the doldrums from a weak economy and repeated questions about his judgment, rival parties are framing Thursday’s votes as a referendum on Starmer and his 2-year-old government. ‘Vote Reform, Get Starmer Out’ is the campaign slogan of the hard-right party Reform UK.”

🚨'Starmer will fight to the death'

Dan Hodges says Starmer will cling on to power for as long as he can and that Angela Rayner's leadership hopes are fading and the time to move against Starmer has gone.

Britain’s next national election is set for 2029, but there are widespread concerns that the magnitude of Labour’s defeat tomorrow may throw the party into disarray.

“Less than two years after winning a landslide election victory, ‘Keir Starmer has become a vessel for people’s disappointment (and) disillusionment’, said Luke Tryl of pollster More in Common.

Starmer’s popularity has plunged after repeated missteps since he became prime minister in July 2024. His government has struggled to deliver promised economic growth, repair tattered public services and ease the cost of living.”

"They just have a visceral dislike of Keir Starmer"

"I've absolutely picked that up on the doorstep"
