A leading British MP has demanded that justice be done on behalf of those who suffered during the so-called COVID emergency.
Rupert Lowe, a member of British Parliament and founder of “Restore Britain,” a party founded to protect British culture and restore Christian principles, argued this week that “those who forced the COVID vaccine on our healthy population must finally be held accountable.”
“The COVID lockdowns with the darkest period in recent British history, bar none,” said Lowe.
“Our freedoms were stripped away in ways most of us never imagined possible, and alongside all that came extraordinary pressure on millions of people to take the COVID vaccine — pressure from politicians, employers, media institutions, everything everywhere.”

Lowe said that he is particularly concerned about how the required COVID jab impacted children and young adults.
“COVID posed very different risks to different people. An elderly vulnerable person faced a very different calculation from a healthy 25-year-old. In fact, they could not have been more different,” he stated.
“The 25-year-old was at no risk whatsoever. They were more likely to drown to death than have serious issues with COVID, yet so much of the messaging treated vaccination as though it were the same decision for everyone.”
“Why? Why were people asking questions treated with such hostility?” he asked. “Why were people who refused a medical intervention made to feel like social pariahs?”
“For the overwhelming majority, the risk of severe COVID illness was non-existent. It was a cold. There was no threat at all,” Lowe noted.
“The facts are quite clear. We do know that cases of myocarditis and pericarditis occurred following COVID vaccinations, particularly amongst adolescent and young adult males. Millions of healthy young men and women should never have been forced to take that vaccination, and those responsible for that decision must be held accountable,” he declared.
Lowe pointed a finger at Nadeem Zahawi, the Conservative government’s vaccine minister at the time . Zahawi is now with Reform UK.
“He stated that children 12 to 15 could receive the COVID vaccine even where their parents objected. A 12-year-old could take this vaccine against their parents’ wishes,” said Lowe. “Think about that. 12-years-old.”
“And then came vaccine passports, again forced through Reform Zahawi,” he added.
“I found the entire concept morally repugnant. It was criminal,” said Lowe. “The idea that the state could make access to ordinary parts of life dependent on disclosing your medical status — that is not how a free country should operate.”
“This cannot end with another speech about how badly things were handled. We all know that,” he continued. “There must be accountability.”
“There must be a full honest reckoning,” he continued. “Questions about pandemic censorship and conflicts of interest demand answers, too. Who decided which questions the public was allowed to ask? Who profited from the answers? These are questions any healthy democracy should ask.”
“The government has accepted that the reform is needed, but it has offered no timetable and no detail. Those who have been injured by these vaccines cannot be left waiting any longer.”
“The scheme needs an overhaul,” said Lowe. “Nobody can be above the law.”
Lowe has also led the charge in Parliament to stem the tide against mass immigration and to hold the UK’s infamous “rape gang” members — disproportionately Muslim males of Pakistani heritage — and those in law enforcement who looked the other way, accountable.
“Restore Britain” aims to turn the ship of state around before the United Kingdom meets the same fate as the Titanic.

Police said the alleged attack took place in the St Peter’s Road area of Wallsend | GOOGLE
A man who identifies himself as being from Western Sahara has been charged with attempted rape, sexual assault and theft following an alleged attack on a woman in Tyneside.
Yassim Ahmed, 27, of no fixed abode, was arrested on Wednesday evening, October 28, after police received a report that a woman had been threatened and sexually assaulted in Wallsend.
The alleged incident took place in the St Peter’s Road area at around 8.45pm on Tuesday, October 27.
Ahmed was charged on Saturday and is due to appear at South East Northumberland Magistrates’ Court on Monday, November 2.
The woman is continuing to receive support from specially trained officers.
Police have urged the public not to speculate about the case or share unverified information online, warning that rumours could cause distress to those affected and potentially jeopardise court proceedings.
Western Sahara is a disputed territory in north-west Africa, bordering Morocco, Algeria and Mauritania.
It covers around 266,000 square kilometres but has a population of approximately 600,000 people, according to UN estimates for 2025.
The population of Western Sahara is predominantly Sahrawi, an Arab-Berber people.
Formerly a Spanish colony, Western Sahara has been the subject of a decades-long dispute between Morocco, which controls most of the territory, and the pro-independence Polisario Front, which seeks to establish an independent Sahrawi state.
The conflict has also displaced large numbers of Sahrawis, many of whom live in refugee camps in neighbouring Algeria.
A former school bus driver in Ontario, Canada, has filed a human rights complaint after being dismissed from his job for wearing a pink schoolgirl uniform while on duty and calling his bus “the Lolita Line.” The driver, who has only been identified by his initials – L.Z. – filed for a publication ban to protect his identity because he claims he is concerned about transphobic backlash.
The incident with the driver first came to light in June of last year when a video taken by local parents began circulating on social media, which Reduxx traced back to St. Michael the Archangel Elementary in Woodbridge, Ontario. In the video, L.Z. was being confronted by a small group of parents who were concerned about his conduct while on duty. Throughout the interaction, L.Z. was standing half-inside of his bus, and was seen wearing a pink-and-white version of a stereotypical Japanese schoolgirl uniform, complete with an exposed midriff, short skirt, and long white stockings.
But it was more than just L.Z.’s attire that raised parents’ eyebrows. In the video, a man can be heard asking the driver “why do you call your bus the Lolita Line,” referencing a piece of paper L.Z. had stuck to his windshield declaring the name of his bus as “Lolita Line.”
The term “Lolita” is associated with a Japanese subculture inspired by Victorian dress and doll-like femininity, but also carries broader cultural associations with the sexualization of young girls. The controversy stems partly from its namesake, Vladimir Nabokov’s novel Lolita, which depicts the sexual exploitation and abuse of a young girl by an adult man. The term has also become associated with certain forms of Japanese anime and manga that portray young female characters in highly sexualized, sometimes pornographic ways, and has raised concerns about the normalization of child sexual objectification.

Reduxx can confirm the video was taken at St. Michael the Archangel Elementary in Woodbridge. pic.twitter.com/HmF8Vevaqn
Following widespread outrage, the York Catholic District School Board issued an apology to parents and notified the public that L.Z. had been removed from the route.
“Dear Families of St. Michael the Archangel CES, We are aware of a social media video showing an interaction that occurred last Friday at our school between a bus driver and parents,” the e-mail read. “Third-party companies provide school busing in Ontario. YCDSB staff quickly brought this matter to the bus driver’s employer, and the company has informed us that this driver will no longer be providing student transportation to St. Michael the Archangel CES. The safety and well-being of our students and staff is the top priority of St. Michael the Archangel CES, so we wanted to provide you with this information. If your child has any questions or would like to discuss this matter, please let us know or encourage them to come to the office.”
But the story did not end after it faded from the news cycle. L.Z. is apparently pursuing a human rights complaint against the York Catholic District School Board and his former employer Landmark Bus Lines, claiming his dismissal was the result of anti-trans discrimination.
L.Z. filed the complaint on March 16, 2026, at the Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario, alleging “discrimination with respect to employment because of ethnic origin, gender identity, and sex contrary to the Human Rights Code.”
According to a new column from Jamie Sarkonak at the National Post, L.Z.’s complaint only came to light because he also pushed for a publication ban. Sarkonak notes that unlike some other Canadian provinces, the Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario does not publish information on its upcoming hearings on its website, so had L.Z. not pursued this publication ban, his case would have largely slipped under the radar completely.
Last year in Ontario, a male bus driver showed up to work like this — mini skirt, frilly blouse, and nylons — and called his bus the "Lolita Line." He was dismissed. Now, he's pursuing a human rights complaint for anti-trans discrimination. My column:https://t.co/p00mWdhnJh
However, the Tribunal granted L.Z. his requested publication ban on October 13 and published its decision online, alerting journalists like Sarkonak of the case’s existence.
In the decision, the Tribunal confirms L.Z. identifies as a “transgender woman,” a detail that had previously been contested by some trans activists after the video first went viral last year.
“The basis for the applicant’s request for anonymization is that she is a transgender woman. The applicant pleads that the events in the Application have garnered negative media attention, and the applicant has faced threats to her safety and discriminatory labels due to transphobic stereotypes,” the Tribunal’s decision reads, granting L.Z. anonymity and a partial sealing order related to his “… name, address, date of birth, social insurance number, and … city/town of residence.”
While it is currently unclear what L.Z. is demanding from the York Catholic District School Board and Landmark Bus Lines, the Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario is known for its particularly liberal stances, even by Canadian standards.
If the tribunal finds that an employer discriminated against a former employee, it can order financial compensation for lost wages, employment benefits, bonuses and other expenses resulting from the discrimination, as well as damages for injury to the person’s dignity, feelings and self-respect. Beyond monetary compensation, the tribunal can also order other remedies, potentially including reinstatement to the former position, changes to workplace policies and mandatory human rights training.

Polish President Karol Nawrocki aborted a state visit to Senegal mid-flight on Friday and, by 1 a.m. Saturday, had pushed past police and a cordon of judges into Poland’s Constitutional Tribunal. Hours earlier, a judge elected by Prime Minister Donald Tusk’s parliamentary majority, one the president never swore in, had declared herself head of the court, suspended its president and vice president, and brought in riot police to secure the building. The court’s own leadership called it a coup d’état. It happened with Donald Tusk’s justice minister calling in the police and Tusk’s public blessing, and by the plain text of Poland’s Constitution, it was unlawful.
VIDEO: The chief justice’s side cuts through the chains on the Tribunal gate. Watch on X (NEXTA)
Riot police ringing a state institution, an unsworn judge proclaiming herself in charge, the ousted chief justice cutting through the chains on his own court’s gate: it reads like a dispatch from a coup in Africa, not from a NATO ally and EU member state in the heart of Europe.
What this would look like in America
Imagine the President is overseas when a judge, one whose appointment the President never finalized, walks into the Supreme Court and declares herself Chief Justice. She suspends the sitting Chief Justice and his deputy, and police called in by her and the Attorney General ring the building. The Chief Justice finds the gate chained shut, cuts his way onto his own court’s grounds, and is turned back by riot police. That same night, the Attorney General moves to strip the Chief Justice and his deputy of their immunity from prosecution, and hands the paperwork to the judge who just ousted them. The President flies home and has to push past her to get into the building.
Americans would call that a constitutional crisis. Tusk calls it “restoring the rule of law.” Poland’s Constitution says otherwise.
The president Poles chose
Nawrocki is no accidental head of state. Polish voters elected him directly in June 2025, defeating Tusk’s own hand-picked candidate, Warsaw mayor Rafał Trzaskowski, with 50.89% of the vote in the runoff. (CNN via Yahoo)
He is now Poland’s most trusted politician. In September’s CBOS poll, 53% of Poles said they trust him; only 37% said the same of Tusk. (Rzeczpospolita)
The head of state the Polish people elected, and still back, flew home to defend the court. The prime minister whom most Poles distrust stood behind the police who locked it down.
Friday night: the court is seized
On Friday evening, seven judges chosen by the current Sejm entered the Tribunal. Judge Anna Korwin-Piotrowska announced that, as the longest-serving among them, she was now acting head of the court, and suspended Chief Justice Bogdan Święczkowski and his deputy, Bartłomiej Sochański, for one month. Police removed the court’s own security and deployed riot units, citing letters from Korwin-Piotrowska and from Prosecutor General Waldemar Żurek, who is also Tusk’s justice minister. (Notes from Poland, GB News)
That same evening, Żurek filed motions to strip Święczkowski and Sochański of their immunity from prosecution, and delivered them to the court’s “longest-serving judge”: Korwin-Piotrowska. (Notes from Poland)
Święczkowski arrived to find the gate chained shut behind a police cordon. PiS MP Mariusz Gosek went at the chain with bolt cutters, then a protester who said he was a locksmith cut through the fastening with a power tool, sparks flying, on Święczkowski’s orders. The chief justice walked up to the riot line holding his official ID and demanded to be let into his own court. Refused, he told the crowd they would not fight the police and promised to return with the president. (natemat.pl, Bankier.pl)
Hundreds of protesters gathered through the night, some chanting “Tusk traitor,” as Jarosław Kaczyński called it a coup against the Tribunal. Former Justice Minister Zbigniew Ziobro called it “a blatant, criminal attack on the constitutional order.” Police detained three people after demonstrators breached the fence. U.S. Ambassador Tom Rose called the events “very serious indeed.” (RTÉ, Yahoo News/AP, Fox News)
The president turns his plane around
Nawrocki was over southern Spain when the news broke. “At such a moment, the President must be in Poland,” he posted on X. Around 1 a.m., with Supreme Court First President Zbigniew Kapiński at his side, he arrived at the Tribunal escorting Sochański. Police barred his way but did not stop the head of state, and video shows him pushing past Korwin-Piotrowska and Judge Krystian Markiewicz at the door. (Anadolu, bne IntelliNews)
Inside, the cameras kept rolling. “We are judges of the Constitutional Tribunal,” Korwin-Piotrowska told him. “You are not judges of the Constitutional Tribunal,” Nawrocki answered.
Tusk’s camp tells it differently. Maciej Berek, a close Tusk ally also elected to the Tribunal, claimed the president “physically attacked” the judges, and Żurek called for prosecutors to examine his conduct. (Newsy Today, Saudi Gazette)
At dawn, Nawrocki declared that the constitutional order had been violated by “a forcible takeover of a constitutional body of the state.” He demanded that the forces the government had sent leave the Tribunal and summoned party leaders to emergency talks, citing a threat to Poland’s internal security. (Türkiye Today)
A judge the president never swore in
Under Article 4 of Poland’s Act on the Status of Constitutional Tribunal Judges, new judges must take their oath before the President. In March, the Sejm elected six. Nawrocki accepted two and refused four, Korwin-Piotrowska among them. Parliament swore them in at its own ceremony on April 9, which the president’s office says has no legal basis. (Greek City Times, Euronews)
You wouldn’t learn that from the Associated Press. AP reported only that the Tribunal’s website “announced the suspension” of the court’s president, as if the court itself had acted. It never says who issued the order, never names Korwin-Piotrowska, never mentions the refused oath, and leaves out the Tribunal’s statement that its website had been seized. What AP does give readers is the government’s claim that Święczkowski “repeatedly broke the law,” with no specifics and no mention that no court has found him guilty of anything. (Yahoo News/AP)
Why the court matters to the presidency
Whoever controls the Tribunal referees every clash between the president and the government, from vetoes to pardons to appointments. It settles disputes over powers between the state’s constitutional bodies. (Constitution, Article 189)
It also holds a key to the presidency itself. Under Article 131 of the Constitution, if the president cannot notify the Speaker of the Sejm that he is unable to serve, the Tribunal, at the Speaker’s request, decides whether he is impeded, and the Speaker takes over his duties. The Speaker is a member of Tusk’s coalition. (Adam Mickiewicz University)
PiS MEP Dominik Tarczyński argues in a video circulating on X that the coalition also wants a friendly court to clear the way for replacing the złoty with the euro, a change that would require amending the Constitution. (Brussels Signal)
A familiar playbook
Tusk has done this before. He promised on the campaign trail to dismantle state television and said public media in its current form did not deserve taxpayer money. (Financial Times via Today in the Markets) Within days of taking office in December 2023, his Culture Minister, Bartłomiej Sienkiewicz, fired the leadership of public broadcaster TVP, Polish Radio and the PAP news agency and installed new management the same day. TVP Info went dark minutes later, and Tusk’s Civic Platform celebrated on X: “The end of TVPiS.” (TVN24)
Dozens of reporters were fired, and when President Andrzej Duda vetoed the funding, the government put the broadcasters into liquidation to keep its managers in place. Morawiecki and Kaczyński called that a coup, too. (NPR/GPB, Notes from Poland)
Tusk is breaking Poland’s Constitution
Tusk defended Friday’s move on X, saying that after years of PiS lawlessness, restoring the rule of law requires decisive action. “There is no other way,” he wrote. In August he had promised to restaff the court, admitting his methods might not be to everyone’s liking. (Yahoo News/AP, Washington Times/AP)
That defense collapses the moment you open Poland’s Constitution. Tusk is not restoring the rule of law. He is breaking it, on four counts.
The Tribunal’s leadership is the President’s to appoint. Article 194 gives the President of the Republic the power to appoint the Tribunal’s president and vice president. It gives no single judge the power to depose them, least of all a judge the head of state never swore in. (Constitution, Chapter VIII)
The oath is the law. Statute requires new Tribunal judges to swear their oath before the President, and parliament cannot rewrite that by staging its own ceremony. Even Poland’s human rights commissioner, Marcin Wiącek, no PiS loyalist, has said the law requires the president to swear in Tribunal judges. (Notes from Poland)
The Tribunal’s rulings are binding. Article 190 makes its judgments final and universally binding, and requires them to be published immediately. Tusk’s government has refused to publish them since 2024, including the ruling that the president is under no obligation to swear in parliament’s picks. (Notes from Poland, Parapolitika)
The government must act within the law. Article 7 binds every public authority to act on the basis of and within the limits of the law. A government that disagrees with a court can legislate or wait for terms to expire. It cannot send riot police to install its own leadership.
Tusk’s camp leans heavily on an opinion from the Venice Commission, an advisory body in Strasbourg that says the president’s role in the oath should be ceremonial. (Euronews) Its opinions bind no one in Poland; the Polish Constitution does. By that text, what happened on Friday night was not a restoration of the rule of law. It was a government seizing a court it could not lawfully control, and Donald Tusk owns every step of it: the judges his majority installed without the president’s oath, the police his justice minister summoned, and the takeover he defended within hours.
Nawrocki’s emergency talks with party leaders began Saturday afternoon, and the first through the door came from Tusk’s own coalition: Deputy Prime Minister Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz and Szymon Hołownia, who said the court needed fixing but force was the wrong way to do it. (TVN24, Goniec)
The talks were still underway at the time of publication. For now, Poland has two rival groups each claiming to be its highest court, police holding the building, and a year until the parliamentary elections that will decide who keeps it.
French-inspired leftist riots have broken out in Germany, with police coming under attack in cities including Frankfurt and Hamburg as darkness descended on the country.
A disparate group of leftist organisations staged “Gen Z Takes Charge” protests in around 30 cities throughout Germany on Saturday. According to public broadcaster NDR, groups who took part in the demonstrations included animal rights activists, communist and socialist organisations, vegans, and pro-Palestine campaigners, among others.
The protests, which were held in a bid to emulate the youth revolt that has thrown France into chaos in recent weeks, were staged against the prospect of a return to military conscription, as well as to protest against various left-wing causes including climate change, to demand more educational funding, to show displeasure with Chancellor Friedrich Merz, and to show displeasure at rising living costs.
While police in Hamburg ordered the demonstration to end at 5 pm local time, many refused to go home and began clashing with police.

The broadcaster reported that rioters gathered around the central bus station in Hamburg, with agitators throwing glass bottles, fireworks, and paving stones at officers. They also built makeshift barricades and set them on fire. Many of those engaged in battle with the police were seen dressed in black and wearing masks.
Meanwhile, a truck following the demonstrators urged them to continue to clash with police from a loudspeaker, which proclaimed that they were against the system, police, and the state.
“We are still patrolling the area because small groups are still out trying to throw small items into the street and set them on fire. And we are preventing that,” a police spokesman told NDR.
In Hamburg hat sich die Menge immer noch nicht aufgelöst. Die Polizei fährt mit gepanzerten Wagen vor, auch ein Wasserwerfer ist im Einsatz. Ein großer Polenböller soll in einer Menschenmenge explodiert sein. Es gibt Festnahmen. pic.twitter.com/WNO6dq0ylH
The Hamburg State Office for the Protection of the Constitution and the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution both warned prior to the demonstration that there was a strong likelihood of far-left groups seeking to exploit the protests for violent ends, including the Open Antifascist Meeting Hamburg, the Red Construction, the Interventionist Left, and Thawra Hamburg.
This has also been the case in neighbouring France, where intelligence services have estimated that there are around 5,000 far-left trained Antifa agitators who infiltrate left-wing protests.
Their aim has apparently been to spark unrest by attacking police or government buildings, while the less organised multicultural youth served as the main looting force. This pattern was also replicated in Milan, Italy earlier this month.
Separately, multiple police officers were injured during a demonstration in Frankfurt, with the Hesse Interior Ministry saying that “one officer may have sustained more serious injuries, but this still requires further investigation.”
The local ministry said that they “estimate there were approximately 100 left-wing extremist perpetrators. They launched a massive attack on the police with bottles, stones, and pyrotechnics.”
The far-left protests in France have also started to turn violent, with rioters being filmed throwing Molotov cocktails at police officers.
The government deployed some 70,000 officers and gendarmes to help police the Halloween demonstrations in Paris and elsewhere.
Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez claimed that the operation had been a success overall, but admitted that “as expected, in each procession groups of vandals and looters led by the radical far-left movement attacked the security forces.” He said that at the time of this reporting there had been 422 arrests.
A violent rioter in Paris hurled a firebomb directly into a line of French riot police on Saturday afternoon, with the device exploding on an officer and covering his shield, helmet, and body in flames as the officer beside him fell backward to the ground.
The rioters have claimed they are protesting the cost of living and school conditions.
The shocking incident unfolded on a city street in the 12th arrondissement near Porte de Charenton during the third consecutive weekend of nationwide riots.
French journalist Luc Auffret captured the attack on video and posted it to X.
WATCH (VIEWER DISCRETION ADVISED):
Plusieurs cocktails molotov jetés contre les forces de l'ordre à Paris.
The Paris police prefecture confirmed that a “hard core of several hundred rioters” at the rear of the authorized march attacked officers with projectiles, including at least one Molotov cocktail, as the demonstration arrived at Porte de Charenton.
Masked individuals dressed in black used hammers to pry up paving stones and hurl them at police, while others launched fireworks.
Officers responded with tear gas and baton charges.
French media outlets, including BFMTV and Entrevue, aired footage of the incendiary device exploding near officers, with reports that at least one officer’s leg was injured by the flames.
The Sun reported that one officer’s left leg burned for roughly 30 seconds after a petrol bomb was thrown over him.
Authorities have estimated roughly 320,000 people protested and rioted across France on Saturday, including about 70,000 in Paris.
Many of the protests remained peaceful, but violence broke out in Paris, Lyon, and other cities.
At Place de la République, trash bins, a kiosk, and a car were set on fire.
Poland has been plunged into a fresh constitutional crisis after riot police were deployed around the Constitutional Tribunal in Warsaw following the suspension of its president, Bogdan Święczkowski, and deputy president Bartłomiej Sochański. Protesters gathered outside the court and three people were detained, while President Karol Nawrocki abandoned a trip to Senegal and returned to Warsaw as the confrontation escalated.
The dispute is part of a long-running battle over Poland’s judiciary. Prime Minister Donald Tusk says his government is trying to restore the rule of law after controversial judicial changes made under the previous Law and Justice government. His opponents accuse the government of trying to seize control of the court, while the Tribunal’s official social-media account described events as a “coup d’état”. Legal experts remain divided over the legitimacy of the suspension.
Emma Trimble and Alex Phillips discuss whether the confrontation represents something much bigger, questioning the EU’s influence over Poland and arguing that countries which resist Brussels on migration and sovereignty are being punished.

The mayor of the German city of Frankfurt (Oder), Axel Strasser, is calling for citizens to stand up to large mobs of migrant youths while they are in the middle of assaulting lone victims.
The mayor of the German city of Frankfurt (Oder), Axel Strasser, has called on residents to demonstrate greater civic courage after bystanders did nothing as a group of teenagers repeatedly punched and kicked a 14-year-old student, including to the head, while he lay on the ground outside a high school earlier this month. Now, critics are calling his statement a recognition of the failure of state authority.
After a security conference with police, prosecutors, schools, youth welfare, and immigration authorities, Strasser, an independent, said it was unacceptable that people stood by without intervening. “We truly appeal to this urban society to show civic courage,” he said.
The attack occurred on Oct. 14 outside the Heinrich-von-Kleist High School. Video of the assault, which circulated widely on social media, showed roughly 10 teenagers surrounding the victim, striking him and continuing the assault after he fell.
The German government implemented a policy of mass migration, which has resulted in mob beatings and bullying of German students across the country. Now, government officials are calling on citizens to put their lives on the line and intervene in these mob beatings, including in this latest case in Frankfurt (Oder).
“You just have to imagine the scene in concrete terms. A group of violent youths, the perpetrators outnumbered the witnesses, the situation is confusing, and there are possibly knives or firearms involved. And now the average citizen is supposed to intervene – without training, without protection, without support. Anyone who intervenes is highly likely to end up in the hospital,” wrote Zielke.
Individuals on social media also highlighted the absurdity of asking the general public to step in to perform law enforcement actions.
“Since politics is failing—or, better said, has no desire to change anything—Mayor Strasser from Frankfurt/Oder is calling for more civic courage to be expected. He can go ahead and stand up to a horde of 20 migrants if he feels like it. I won’t!” wrote one user.
Authorities are investigating nine suspects, ages 13 to 15, who hold Polish, Russian, Syrian, and German nationality. They face allegations of dangerous bodily harm; earlier reports also referenced robbery. Police have spoken with the suspects and their families.
Strasser described the incident as “the first case of this dimension” in the city and said everyone immediately recognized the drama of the situation. Unlike recent group attacks in Potsdam that involved more entrenched youth structures, this case does not, according to officials.
The city and police plan heightened presence near schools after the autumn holidays, parent conferences, and anti-bullying efforts. An investigative team is active. The victim is receiving intensive support through the school and relevant authorities; youth welfare is examining further measures. “Offers of help are available and will be accepted,” Strasser said.
Residence-law options are under review, but Strasser said he sees little prospect of success. He added that there will be no simple solutions to rising youth violence in Germany or the influence of social media.
Brandenburg Integration Minister René Wilke (SPD) is pressing for accelerated reviews of protection status for Syrian suspects. He said 16 cases linked to violence incidents in Potsdam and Frankfurt (Oder) — including five minors in the latter — have been reported to the Federal Office for Migration and Refugees so their status can be checked more quickly. “We have asked that the examination be brought forward,” Wilke said. Revocation of protected status can lead to deportation but does not automatically do so; each case requires individual assessment that can take months.
“If a child is out of control and the family shows no integration efforts, it can become tight,” he noted.
Interior Minister Jan Redmann (CDU) has spoken of influence from the “gangster-rapper milieu” and people who boast about their acts online. Redmann has also pointed to integration shortfalls in some cases and said authorities will use available tools of criminal and residence law, while stressing rapid action to stop the violence.
Strasser has said the city will not simply return to business as usual. He has also emphasized that protection granted in Germany is not deserved by those who abuse it so brutally, while stressing coordinated action by security authorities regardless of the origin of the suspect.

"You are not judges of the Constitutional Tribunal!"
A political and constitutional crisis unfolded at Poland’s Constitutional Tribunal (Trybunał Konstytucyjny) in Warsaw on Friday evening. Judge Anna Korwin-Piotrowska (aligned with the government of Prime Minister Donald Tusk) announced the suspension of the tribunal’s president, Bogdan Święczkowski, and his deputy, and claimed interim control. The existing leadership and the right-wing opposition (including Law and Justice/PiS) rejected this, calling it a “coup d’état.”
According to reports, Anna Korwin-Piotrowska did not have the legal authority to do this.
Critics (including lawyers quoted in Polish media such as Rzeczpospolita) argued this lacks a clear legal basis: the proper procedure for suspending the TK president is reserved to the General Assembly of TK judges, a single judge cannot unilaterally do so, and the ordinary-courts provision does not cleanly transfer to the Constitutional Tribunal.
That’s why the event was labeled a coup by the Polish people.
On Friday night, Polish people sang “Rota,” a historic Polish patriotic anthem, outside the Constitutional Tribunal.
The people are rising up against the globalist President Donald Tusk.

MP Jablonski called out to the free world saying, “What is happening in Poland tonight, may soon be happening also in other countries – this left-wing liberal globalists, they want to do it the same in France in Italy, in USA, in the UK in Germany – all across the world, so please, remain with us, stay with us.”

“Imagine if Democrats won Congress, declared the Supreme Court didn’t count anymore, ignored its rulings for 3 years, and then, a year before the next election, picked 8 new justices of their own, including a man their leader called his “right-hand man,” and when the Republican president refused to swear them in, they swore themselves in and mailed him the paperwork, and when the Chief Justice said that wasn’t legal and wouldn’t seat them, they waited for a Friday night when the president was on a plane to Africa and had federal security officers who answer to a Democratic cabinet member walk 7 of them into the court through a back gate connected to the Democratic leader’s own offices, where one of them announced she had “suspended” the Chief Justice, a move that even a law professor who openly can’t stand him said had no legal basis, and then riot police blocked the Chief Justice from entering his own court, the court’s website was taken over, the Attorney General moved that same night to strip his immunity so he could be prosecuted, the president had to turn his plane around mid-flight to come home, and the same people who spent years lecturing everyone about respecting the courts went online to say this was the rule of law, that it was painful, and that there was “no other way,” which is roughly where Poland is tonight.”
For those confused as to what’s happening in Poland right now…
Imagine if Democrats won Congress, declared the Supreme Court didn't count anymore, ignored its rulings for 3 years, and then, a year before the next election, picked 8 new justices of their own, including a man…
