Surge in anti-migrant violence in Eastern Germany

Jump to newest

A dramatic rise in assaults on refugees and the spread of xenophobic sentiment in the eastern German states that previously formed the German Democratic Republic pose a threat to their economic and social well-being

.

Compared to the western German states, where an average of 10.5 attacks inspired by right-wing sentiments were committed per 1 million citizens, the numbers are some five times higher in the east.

In Mecklenburg-West Pomerania the German domestic intelligence agency reported a staggering rate of 58.7 attacks per million citizens, while in Brandenburg and Saxony, 51.9 and 49.6 cases were registered respectively

.

The tensions triggered by German Chancellor Angela Merkel’s open-door policy towards migrants have been running high in Germany, which took over 1 million refugees last year.

The public distaste with the policy, inflamed by media reports of alleged sex assaults by migrants on German women, has resulted in numerous attacks on refugees, including arsons and attacks on shelters. In one of the most recent incidents of the kind, 40 people, including eight children, were pepper-sprayed in a refugee housing facility by an employee of a building company working at the site of the shelter.

.

So? was German Chancellor Angela Merkel’s open-door policy the right thing to do? or should it have been more carefully thought out.

A Remainer will say it was the right thing to do.

A Brexiter will say it should have been better thought out.

And the answer is obvious.

Even Merkel now admits it was a mistake and is looking to deport as many as she can

It was pure folly in the first place to just throw open the doors without first asking juts how is the country going to deal with so many at one time.

A case of an epic grandstanding gone wrong

Why bring Brexit into this?

As a remainer it should have been thought out. But my brexiter side says I think it's their problem.

Sorry that was a generalisation too. I won't say what I vote in the referendum... That's my business.

It's a migration issue that should have better managed. The media had a blast about the migration. The number of social media from Germany against the migrants surged. This may be a factor. But it's Merkel's responsibility to integrate them.

Agree. Just not sure how. And it depends on what you need. What is successful free movement? Integration? Adding value to a nation, I.e. tax paid? Or fulfilling a demand in skills?

I wouldn't migrate to a country to have benefits. They're crap and too low to live on. I moved to the Netherlands for better pay and more opportunities in my job. Here there are not many good dutch IT people. So we're competitive and have really high pay.

Now I can't go home without a pay cut. So I'm screwed until I find a sugar mama.

well thats pretty much all that most Brexiters are asking for. And the reason I mentioned Brexit was that it was stupid decisions like this by Merkel, who is lets face it the leader of the EU, and her riding roughshod over the wishes and concerns of the people of Europe, that brought about Brexit in the first place

It was done a bit quickly and led to a lot of people drowning in the rush to 'get there', can see why Merkel did it given the demographics of the ageing population she presides over but its been badly handled..

also well before she announced it there was a higher number of attacks on migrants in the East as compared to the West of the country..

I notice there are no comments from CLCC they could have blamed it on Brexit.

True. But will Brexit resolve the issue? I believe in incentives for the skills we need and benefit system that is fairer and harder to take advantage for immigrants and residents. An integration program for those who come in. I'm sounding like a lefty . Or a righty. Wait what's the difference?

Let's see the figures in the next few years. Send your predictions to mixedbcouple for your brier score.

We really need to sort out the difference between asylum and economic migration. We must continue to help those fleeing war and other disasters but this seems to have got completely muddled up with arguments about cheap foreign labour etc. It is difficult because is a young man fleeing Afghanistan an economic migrant or an asylum seeker?

Merkel only did what Blair and Brown had already done here before her open door policy in Germany, maybe on a grander scale and definitely much faster.

Doing the damage is a lot easier than undoing it, which could lead to terrorism, even war.

They always said that the clowns were in charge of every circus.

What did any sane thinking person expect to happen,how can polititions be so out of touch with the human race.

Ideals are for short sighted idiots and politions,thwy should get real.

Merkel will not only lose power but she has destroyed the EU with her polocies on immigration,Greece etc.

According to the BBC World Service after 25 years of re-unification East Germans are STILL second class citizens in their own country!? Astonishingly Merkel herself an East German, has prioritised the interests of political correctness and foreigners over and above those of her fellow East Germans... many of whom would now rightly in my view consider her to be a traitor.
