Globalist Games: They Play, We Pay

Canada’s Liberal Party selected central banker Mark Carney to lead the country as prime minister.  He only recently became a politician, but already he’s sitting at the head of the class!  No worries, though.  He has the kind of résumé all globalists in good standing with Klaus Schwab’s World Economic Forum would envy.  He ran not only the Bank of Canada, but also the Bank of England.  He’s a central banker extraordinaire!  He loves printing funny money and manipulating markets.  Artificially created inflation is his jam, man!

Carney is the most recent iteration of the World Economic Forum’s standard operating procedure for captured governments (and Canada is most definitely WEF-captured): Whenever possible, put bankers in charge of those pesky territorial designations nostalgically known as nation-states.  France’s petit fromage, Emmanuel Macron, was a Rothschild & Co. investment banker.  Former U.K. prime minister Rishi Sunak was a Goldman Sachs and hedge fund guy.  Don’t be surprised when more transnational bankers seemingly come out of nowhere and immediately dominate the politics of other pseudo-sovereign countries.  Investment banking — and more specifically, central banking — is the lifeblood of globalism.  Why?  Because once a bank is big enough, it gambles with the futures of entire nations (and the millions of individual lives therein) as if they were mere poker chips.

So the globalist cabal claims another section of the world map!  Or retains its claim over Canada, I should say.  Everyone knows that soy-boy Justin Castreau (he cried during his farewell press conference, for Pete’s sake!) and his former deputy prime minister, Chrystia Freeland, call Herr Schwab “Daddy.”  Germany’s Dr. Evil makes a natural father figure for both Canucks.

Kooky Chrystia is that crazy-eyed woke-tard who promised to use nuclear weapons against the United States if President Trump imposes reciprocal tariffs and turns off the American money spigots that have long subsidized Canada’s socialist system.  She is a Canadian Karen not likely to go away.  I’m sure Daddy Klaus will give her another chance to scream, “I am womyn, hear me roar!” after central banker Mark Carney completes Canada’s transition to a “green energy”–reliant vassal state of the international money-printing guild.  When the draft dodgers, hippies, and Chinadians up north have gorged on enough of Carney’s WEF-style globalism for Reichsführer Schwab to deem the peasants sufficiently subjugated, he can install Chrystia as prime minister without any resistance.  Once in place and empowered to finish off what’s left of Trudeau and Carney’s castrated Canada, she will probably rename her censorship-loving slave state “Not-so-Freeland-ia” in honor of her favorite grandpa’s fascist proclivities.  

No wonder President Trump remains worried about the U.S.-Canada border.  King Charles III’s North American refuge has become a hornet’s nest of globalists, communists, and woke Nazis.  Perhaps after the southern wall is finished, the builders should hightail it up to the 49th parallel and get busy.  Forget the “global warming” malarkey.  A WEF-engineered winter is most definitely coming.

Of course, Canada is but one territory being pursued in the globalists’ board game of central bank Risk.  The WEF-ers are rolling the dice and capturing lands all over the planet.  

For three years, the United Kingdom, the European Union, and America’s very own CIA have all been yelling, “Ukraine!  Ukraine!  Ukraine!”  Hoity-toity Davos dandies demand in unison that non-Ukrainians die for the sacred honor of a country known for its vicious gangsters.  Given the Western euphoria for the place that spawned the noxious Tweedle-Vindmans, a naïve observer would erroneously assume that Ukraine must be a bastion of civic virtue and human rights — and not a nation that has outlawed opposition parties, free speech, dissent, religious freedom, and democratic elections.  How jolting it must be for the uninitiated to discover that Volodymyr Zelensky’s fiefdom is not renowned for its “democratic” norms, but is instead considered one of the most irredeemably corrupt crime dens in all of Europe.  If you’ve ever found yourself near any of Europe’s other troubled conflict zones, you know that a reputation for being the continent’s premier destination for depravity is not an easy distinction to claim.  Ukraine had to work hard for its deserved notoriety. 

No matter.  Klaus Schwab’s globalists are good at rebranding.  When money-printing central bankers fund USAID, and USAID pays Western journalists to run stories about the glorious nobility of Ukraine’s system of government, then the less informed among us eventually start spouting the same thing: Ukraine good.  Russia bad.  We make nuclear war now?  It’s not our fault that we humans can be programmed so easily.  We are biologically wired to trust people in positions of authority.

Here’s the problem: When all the people in positions of authority are either money-printing central bankers or propaganda-spewing espionage chiefs, then the people who die in wars (both soldiers and civilians) do so at the behest of thieves and liars.  Families should not sacrifice their children based on the promises of money-launderers and spies. 

For the jet-set crowd of Davos elites, preserving other people’s freedom is of no concern.  Creating debt slaves is good for their respective family businesses; liberating serfs so that the riffraff can express their low-class opinions is not.  Does anybody believe that the same European countries that regularly censor their own citizens and prevent unapproved political parties from holding power would have any interest in safeguarding the liberties of poor Ukrainians?  European elites (and American warmongers) see Ukrainians as cannon-fodder — which is why they say nothing as Zelensky’s goons abduct men off the street, press-gang them into service, and condemn them to be ripped to shreds.  

War is first and foremost about making money and expanding power.  Elites treat it like a “game” because they risk nothing.  Regular people pray for it to end because they risk everything.  

If the WEF-ers can’t prolong the War in Ukraine long enough to win back some valuable Black Sea coastline, they’ll just stir up trouble in one of the neighboring nations.  Take a look at the board game’s map.  Besides Russia, Ukraine, and Turkey, the region includes Moldova, Romania, Bulgaria, Greece, Armenia, and Georgia.  That’s strange.  Every country either on or near the Black Sea has recently experienced a spate of domestic conflicts, political rebellions, or outright civil wars.  In Romania, globalists not only annulled last year’s presidential election when the “wrong” candidate won, but also threw the winning candidate off this year’s ballot to prevent his repeat victory — all in the name of “protecting democracy”!  

Is there something toxic in the rivers draining into the Black Sea?  Or could it be that the West’s one-world-government zealots and intelligence agents/saboteurs are desperate to maintain influence over territories that could limit Russia’s strategic control of Black Sea trade routes and close off Russia’s access to the wider Mediterranean Sea?  

Perhaps disassembling Russia into a dozen separate WEF-conducive nations first requires WEF-enthusiasts to isolate Russia from half the world.  If they can avoid paying for the mess themselves by tricking the United States into sacrificing Americans in an unnecessary third world war, then all the better.  As they like to ask in Klaus Schwab’s neck of the woods, why fight the Russians or the Americans when you can get them to fight each other?  Cannon fodder does not discriminate by nationality.

If Western-style “democracy” means that central bankers control domestic policy, stifle dissent, and decide when war is “profitable,” then perhaps citizens should start asking who the hell put them in charge.  It certainly wasn’t the people.

Major German-language anti-globalist TV station debanked, faces shutdown

Stefan Magnet, founder of AUF1 YouTube screenshot

One of the largest German-language anti-globalist TV stations has been debanked and is at risk of being shut down.

The TV and news outlet AUF1 had its bank account in Hungary shut down after it had already been debanked in Germany and in Austria.

AUF1 founder and editor-in-chief Stefan Magnet asked his viewers for help in a video message.

Magnet said this most recent censorship attack “could mean the end of Auf1” since its only remaining bank account in Hungary will be closed on May 1, and it may not be able to afford to be without an account to receive donations for several weeks.

“ The attacks against Auf1 are part of an overarching globalist agenda,” Magnet stated, adding that the globalists just waited for the elections in the U.S., Austria, and Germany to pass in order to launch this assault.

“Since those in power know that they are ruling against a relevant part of their own people and trampling on democracy – keyword Romania and EU dictatorship – they have to get rid of all those critics who expose their machinations.”

”AUF1 reaches millions of people with its program; over 300,000 follow us on Telegram alone. The system knows our reach, and they have not forgotten that we, together with the street resistance, overturned the coronavirus vaccination mandate in Austria and thus prevented worse things from happening in Germany and Switzerland,” he continued.

Magnet cited WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, who said in a speech in 2024 that the public health establishment needs to be “more aggressive in pushing back on anti-vaxxers,” as proof that the deep state is going after them.

“ New health emergency states are coming. They need them to sell their dozens of new mRNA vaccine products. Does anyone still believe that the pharmaceutical industry will create gigantic production facilities without already preparing the sales market for them?” he warned.

“There is the threat of the Great Reset expropriation and, above all, the threat of war,” the AUF1 founder said.

“ Because they cannot compete with us legally or professionally, they want to cut off our funding by constantly closing our bank accounts.”

He said that AUF1 tried to open other bank accounts, but “dozens of banks have systematically turned us down.”

“And so it is almost impossible that we will have a new alternative account for our donations by the beginning of May,” Magnet continued. “Being without a donation account for a few weeks could very quickly spell the end for us because, as you know, unlike the state-funded media, which always agitates so passionately against AUF1, we do not receive any corporate or state funding.”

“As of May 1, we will be without a donations account.”

“After that, the Hungarian account will be closed for good with a short grace period. By supporting us now, you will help us to parry this unexpected attack until we have regrouped.”

“According to the globalists’ schedule, AUF1 should no longer exist this summer. If AUF1 falls, many other alternative media outlets will also fall,” he warned. “Then they will go after the political parties that can’t be brought back in line. And then they will come directly after you.”

AUF1 is an anti-globalist online TV and news station founded by Magnet in 2021 in Austria during the height of the COVID crisis. In short order, AUF1 garnered substantial reach and viewership in the German-speaking market. Financed by donations, AUF1 has grown its enterprise despite numerous attacks and attempts to shut down its operation.

Left-wing crimes can serve the common good, but right-wing crimes should always be punished, claims Germany’s Left Party leader

Germany’s Left Party leader Jan van Aken has sparked controversy after suggesting that politically left-wing crimes can be justified if they serve the public good, whereas right-wing crimes cannot.

In an interview with Swiss newspaper Neue Zürcher Zeitung (NZZ), Van Aken defended his own past breach of secrecy laws, arguing that “sometimes you have to cross borders to protect the general public.”

Van Aken was questioned about his role in leaking confidential government documents in 2016 related to the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) negotiations between the United States and the European Commission. At the time, as a member of the Bundestag, he smuggled a hidden camera into a classified reading room, filmed the documents, and handed them over to Greenpeace. The disclosure helped turn public opinion against TTIP, which was later abandoned.

With the offenses now statute-barred, meaning time has run out for legal proceedings to be brought, van Aken openly admitted to his actions, defending them as necessary to prevent what he saw as a threat to consumer protection and workers’ rights. When asked whether a right-wing politician, such as a member of the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, should also be allowed to break the law for reasons of conscience, van Aken firmly rejected the idea.

“Anyone who excludes others and steps down does not serve the common good,” he stated, implying that left-wing offenses could be morally justified while right-wing ones could not. When pressed on whether criminal law applies differently to leftists and right-wingers, he insisted, “The law applies equally to everyone. Only sometimes you have to cross borders to protect the general public.”

Beyond his stance on political crimes, van Aken also weighed in on Germany’s immigration policies, arguing that the arrival of over two million refugees in the past decade is entirely manageable if municipalities receive adequate funding.

“Germany has already taken in more than one million refugees twice. Certainly, there were also problems, but the core issue is underfunded municipalities,” he said.

He also made controversial remarks about billionaires, calling them a “danger to democracy” and claiming that no one earns immense wealth fairly.

“No one works so hard or is so smart that he would have earned a million an hour. They only have the money because they have taken it away from others — either by paying wages that were too low or charging prices that were too high,” van Aken stated.

Additionally, he accused Elon Musk of buying X to help bring right-wing parties to power, adding to a long-running debate about the influence of billionaires in politics. He didn’t, however, make any reference to billionaires like George Soros who have spent a considerable amount of their wealth on funding left-wing NGOs and left-wing parties across the Western world under the guise of “defending democracy.”

Trans Activist Demanding Access to Female-Only Nude Sauna Is “High Risk” Registered Sex Offender

Reduxx has learned that a registered sex offender was amongst a small group of trans activists who recently protested outside of a San Francisco spa and demanded access to clothing-optional female-only events. Dwight Austin, who began calling himself Dakota Rose Austin in 2022, was interviewed sympathetically by the media as a victim of the spa’s “discriminatory” policies.

As previously reported by Reduxx, a group of trans activists gathered at the entrance of a Russian-style bathhouse on the shores of the San Francisco Bay to protest their sex-segregated events. The spa holds nights where only males or only females are allowed into the clothing-optional facility on the basis that practitioners of certain religions prohibit the unclothed mixing of the sexes.

The demonstration was organized after one trans-identified male who calls himself Breath Mormorer claimed he was a victim of “transphobia.” Mormorer said Archimedes’ staff told him he would have to remain clothed at all times if he wanted to attend the female-only night.

The protest was featured on local news, where Austin was interviewed by reporter Kelsi Thorud.

“As Latinos, as trans, as queer, as African American, the fear is turned now. If you weaponize DEI and affirmative action and all these other things that were a benefit of everyone in America and you weaponize them against us, now I’m in fear,” Austin said. He was also featured in a number of other articles, quoted as being a trans activist.

However, despite professing to be living in “fear,” Reduxx has learned that Austin is listed on California’s state registry as a level 4 sex offender, according to a 2022 risk assessment. The ranking positions Austin as a moderate to high risk, with an “above average risk” of reoffending. The crime which saw Austin placed on the registry: rape by force or fear.

Within the same year as his sex offender high risk designation, Dwight Austin began calling himself Dakota Rose and utilizing multiple social media accounts in a bid to become a prominent trans activist, and quickly racked up like-minded followers.

Facebook profile belonging to Dwight Austin

One high profile account to have followed Austin on Instagram is another trans-identified male, Suzanne Ford, the Executive Director of San Francisco Pride.

According to his most recent Facebook profile, Austin has been canvassing for the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU). In recent years the ACLU has filed dozens of lawsuits across the United States in defense of male criminals who claim to be transgender. In many cases, trans-identified male convicts represented by the ACLU in human rights complaints have been sex offenders and violent killers.

After the initial boycott started, Archimedes Banya issued a statement claiming that they stood by the “diversity of the Bay Area,” and wanted to respect both their “commitment to inclusivity” and the needs of religious and cultural communities who require sex-segregated spaces.

As such, they announced the introduction of two different events: an Inclusive Women’s Night, which they described as “open to all individuals who identify as women,” and a Cultural and Religious Women’s Night, which they state is “designed to provide a space that aligns with the needs of women from religious or cultural backgrounds who observe practices requiring a female-only environment based on sex assigned at birth.”

In response to criticism, Archimedes Banya posted a statement to social media which argued that women are entitled to a “phallus-free” environment.

“We have seen messages claiming that cis women don’t deserve space, that asking for a phallus-free environment is inherently hateful, and that any separation is an act of exclusion. That is categorically not true,” read the statement.

“The request for a phallic-free space is not about exclusion, it is about recognizing that some members of our community experience a different reaction to that part of the human body. Whether that reaction is based on personal history, trauma, cultural or religious beliefs, or simply comfort, it is valid.”

However, trans activists continued to demand full access to spa facilities where women are undressing or in the nude, and the facility was inundated with one-star reviews online, leading to Yelp suspending users’ ability to rate the spa.

In a statement, the Human Rights Commission said it recognized that the bathhouse’s policy change came “at a time when transgender and non-binary people are facing a barrage of attacks, and we want to be clear that the City and County of San Francisco is committed to ensuring that transgender people are protected from unlawful discrimination.”

As a result, Archimedes Banya had no choice but to comply with their demands or engage in a litigation. In California, it is against the law to discriminate based on self-declared “gender identity,” and this extends to access to sex-segregated facilities, such as restrooms, locker rooms, and showers.

On social media, Mormorer, who led the demonstration against Archimedes Banya alongside Austin, has been boasting about forcing the spa to comply with their demands.

If the trans contingent including Austin is permitted to participate in the female-only events, it will represent the second time a sex offender was granted access to the women’s section of a nude spa.

In 2021, a Korean spa in California made international headlines after a trans-identified sex offender had been granted access to the women’s facilities in accordance with California state law.

Wi Spa, a jjimjilbang-style establishment in Los Angeles was the subject of viral attention after a video recorded by a female patron began circulating on social media. In the video, the woman confronts spa staff because of a nude male who was exposing himself in front of women and girls in the women’s changing room.

The incident was initially dismissed as a “transphobic” hoax by progressive commentators, but would later be verified by police who issued a warrant for the arrest of Darren Agee Merager, a registered sex offender. Merager was arrested in December of 2022.

France: An Islamist youth taken into police custody for plotting an attack during Ramadan; he was caught with a knife in front of his school

A 17-year-old minor was taken into police custody on Tuesday by police officers from the General Directorate of Internal Security (DGSI). As a Daech fanatic, he is said to have planned to attack various religious or diplomatic targets related to Israel or the USA.

This is the first foiled attack plan in 2025, and it is potentially worrying. According to our information, confirmed by the National Anti-Terrorism Prosecutor’s Office (PNAT), a 17-year-old youth was taken into police custody on Tuesday by police officers from the General Directorate of Internal Security (DGSI) as part of a preliminary investigation into ‘criminal terrorist organisation’. The young man from Vesoul (Haute-Saône) is suspected of having planned a violent attack in France during Ramadan, the month of fasting for the Muslim community, which began on March 1st. This was done in the name of the Islamic State (IS) organisation, to which he claimed allegiance.

The case first came to light on Monday when the minor was caught with a knife outside his school in the Haute-Saône department during a gendarmerie check. He was initially taken into police custody for ‘carrying a prohibited category D weapon’ and briefly questioned by the local gendarmerie. The next day, however, he was taken back into custody by DGSI investigators, who feared that the offence was imminent. The man, described as highly radicalised, had been prosecuted by the territorial intelligence service in 2024 for proselytising and glorifying terrorist acts on social networks.

South Tyrolean pupils are also forced to take part in Ramadan

Another example of a misguided integration policy can be seen in the recent event at the Noldinhaus in Salurn,’ said the Freedom Party. While it is apparently ‘unreasonable’ to teach immigrants about our own traditions and values, it is taken for granted that our children have to deal with foreign religions and abstruse world views.


At the so-called ‘Iftar of Friendship’, schoolchildren were brought in to deal with the Islamic fasting month of Ramadan. ‘So while Muslim traditions are being promoted and integrated into the everyday lives of schoolchildren, we have been experiencing a worrying development in South Tyrol for years: out of a misguided sense of tolerance, traditional Christian festivals and celebrations – such as the St. Martin parade, St. Nicholas celebrations and Christmas parties – are increasingly being cancelled or watered down in kindergartens and schools,’ criticised Roland Stauder, Chairman of the Freedom Party, in a press release.

The Freedom Party sees a worrying imbalance in this development: ‘Integration is the responsibility of those who come to the country – not the native population’. It is unacceptable that we have to give up our own customs and traditions in order to accommodate immigrants, while they are not required to adapt to our culture. Integration that demands that only the native population shows consideration is not integration, but a deliberate undermining of our identity, the Freedom Party states. The fact that there is now an Islamist organisation in Salurn that is considering political activity is also particularly critical. A development that raises serious questions about the coordinate system of our values.

‘It is unacceptable that our children are being instrumentalised for political purposes and subjected to religious brainwashing. Integration that is based on one-sided adaptation and represses our own culture is not integration, but ideological re-education,’ says Stauder. The Freedom Party is therefore calling for a return to our values and traditions and an end to this one-sided favouring of foreign customs in our education system.

Deported Afghan rapist seeks re-entry into Germany under human rights laws

Screengrab youtube

A convicted Afghan asylum seeker, deported for his involvement in the drugging and gang rape of a 14-year-old girl, is seeking to return to Germany, citing family ties.

The Afghan, identified as Mukthar N., was part of a group that drugged and raped a 14-year-old girl for hours in Illerkirchberg. His case caused national outrage, particularly when it emerged that after serving a 26-month prison sentence, he was briefly placed back in the community without warning to residents.

Police classified him as a high-risk offender with the potential to commit further sexual crimes, and he was even placed under police protection for a short time. After considerable backlash, the man was deported back to Afghanistan in August 2024.

His lawyer is now actively appealing for his re-entry under human rights laws protecting his right to life with his family — he has a wife and child in Baden-Württemberg.

Bild reported how he recently made an emotional plea in a TV report in which he said tearfully, “I want to see my child, I want to be there for my wife.”

When he was deported, the child rapist was barred from re-entry to Germany for six years, but just months later in November 2024, he attempted to appeal his deportation in order to return — a request that was denied in January.

His eventual deportation in August 2024 was part of a collective flight carrying 28 Afghan criminals back to their home country — the first such repatriation since the Taliban took power in 2021.

Illerkirchberg Mayor Markus Häußler described the deportation as the removal of a “thorn in the flesh,” expressing relief on behalf of local residents.

Human rights laws are frequently misused to launch legal challenges and thwart legal challenges to deportations from Europe, with thousands of Afghan criminals still residing in Germany.

Following a brief pause during the election campaign, flights relocating Afghan refugees from a German-managed reception center in Islamabad, Pakistan, have resumed, with over 3,000 individuals expected to be brought to Europe in the coming weeks. This is despite previous concerns about lax security checks.

In 2021, then-Federal Minister of the Interior Horst Seehofer (CSU) revealed that at least 20 of the Afghans evacuated by the Bundeswehr had failed security screenings. Among them were convicted rapists and individuals previously deported from Germany due to security concerns. Reports also indicated that some evacuees had ties to counter-terrorism watchlists.

The political landscape has further complicated the issue. Chancellor-in-waiting Friedrich Merz, who previously promised sweeping immigration reforms during the election campaign, has softened his stance. After the possibility of forming a “Grand Coalition” with the Social Democrats (SPD) emerged, Merz stated that “no one has any desire to close the borders.”

Any agreement with the SPD is likely to see the culture of mass immigration into Germany continue with reports on Wednesday that the far-left party’s Migration and Diversity Working Group wants to reject the hypothetical hardline course set by the CDU.

The group argues that Germany needs 500,000 legal migrants every year on top of asylum seekers who usually enter the country illegally, which it argues would help replace retiring workers.

Police raid Munich immigration office over suspected asylum bribery

German police have searched the immigration office in Munich on suspicions that employees there took bribes in exchange for positive asylum decisions.

The raid on on March 11 came after Munich prosecutors had launched an investigation into five current and one former employee of the city’s administration.

They are suspected of making illegal decisions “in numerous cases” related to immigration law, the public prosecutor’s office confirmed to the media.

The organisation itself contacted the police after irregularities in residence permits were found during an internal audit at the office.

In the first half of 2024, an employee had allegedly observed a man approaching people at the immigration facility and offering assistance in exchange for payment.

After the man returned to the premises, despite being banned, the authority initiated the internal audit.

It revealed that this individual’s clients consistently had appointments with the same set of clerks. Since then, evidence has been systematically collected regarding this matter.

Five suspects are currently in custody, while Süddeutsche Zeitung reported a total of seven under investigation.

Investigators also searched private apartments related to the suspects.

Authorities said they suspected bribery and forgery of documents took place between May 2022 and January 2024. One of the suspects allegedly facilitated contacts with foreigners, forged documents and arranged payments to city administration employees.

Since 2022, the Munich immigration office, which employs around 3,800 people, has been headed by Hanna Sammüller-Gradl, of The Greens party.

In February 2024, she told the media she wanted to make the authority more friendly to migrants and described the debate about deportations as a “sham”.

Sammüller-Gradl complained that “generalising slogans against certain groups of people are no longer only uttered by the parties on the far-right, but also by those who actually locate themselves in the middle of society”.

On March 12, the parliamentary group leader of The Greens, Rosa List, Mona Fuchs, said: “There must be no taking advantage, from any municipal employee. This zero-tolerance policy with regard to corruption and taking advantage of it naturally also applies to the district administration department.”

She stressed that it was the organisation itself that pushed ahead with the internal investigations over its suspicions and informed the investigating authorities.

Manuel Pretzl, chairman of the parliamentary group of the Christian Social Union and Free Voters in the Munich City Council, has demanded “complete” transparency on the matter.

Migrants Terrorize Spanish Town Over Imam’s Eviction

The historic Catalan town of Salt has suffered two consecutive nights of riots following the arrest of a sub-Saharan imam. He had been evicted from a house he had illegally occupied for five years without paying rent. In response, immigrant groups and radical left-wing activists have vandalised property, attacked the police, set fire to dumpsters, and damaged urban infrastructure.

The first episode of violence occurred when around 200 people gathered in front of a local police station, throwing stones and eggs at the officers. The police deployed riot units to control the situation. The second night was even more intense, with hooded individuals attacking law enforcement, setting urban infrastructure on fire, and spreading chaos in the streets. The incidents resulted in six arrested, three of them minors, and one officer sustaining minor injuries.

The disturbances have affected public safety and heightened the sense of disorder in the municipality. Residents worry about these incidents becoming normal and the lack of effective deterrents. Rioters have openly boasted about their actions without fear of legal consequences.

Salt City Council, led by the separatist party Esquerra Republicana de Catalunya (ERC), has granted the evicted imam a social housing unit despite him failing to meet the established vulnerability requirements. The council defended the decision, claiming they wanted to avoid “fueling the far right,” but the move has sparked outrage among residents and criticism from the political opposition.

The local government, instead of condemning the riots, focussed on criticising evictions carried out by banks and investment funds. Many see this as siding with the rioters rather than supporting law enforcement and restoring order.

The decision has also raised concerns about fairness in allocating social housing, as many families in similar situations do not receive the same preferential treatment as the imam. People also worry that this concession could set a precedent, encouraging future violent demonstrations to pressure institutions into granting special benefits.

Salt residents have expressed their concerns about the increasing crime and violence in the municipality. Testimonies from some rioters have revealed the level of impunity with which certain groups act. “We are in Salt. Look at everything we’ve destroyed; we’ve shut down the streets, and no one can leave Salt,” one participant boasted.

The situation in Salt reflects a broader issue in Catalonia, where a combination of unintegrated immigration, radical activism, and political permissiveness creates an increasingly volatile situation. 

But it is just a symptom of a broader trend spreading across Europe. The welfare system cannot sustain the constant arrival of millions of immigrants across the continent. There is no political, social, or economic capacity to absorb such a large influx of people, leading to poverty, crime, and violent outbreaks like this one.
