Germany is now proof Farage's deportation flights pledge can work

 


Joseph is hiding from Germany's deportation police. He is living in a small room borrowed from a friend, only daring to go out once a week for a secret visit to church.

Even then, he gets a lift from a fellow worshipper rather than braving public transport. 'I am driven to the church and back,' he whispers down the phone to me. 'I cannot go on the tram, the train or the bus because the police may see me. They want to take me to the airport and deport me back to Nigeria.'

Joseph, a talented musician, appears to be a decent man, but he is unlikely to get much sympathy in Germany. The country has turned its back on mass immigration as the economy falters, crime soars and the government shells out 'refugee-related expenses', including benefits, of £25 billion a year.

He is among the millions who entered after Chancellor Angela Merkel's momentous decision in 2015 to open Germany's borders to Syrian refugees – and, as it turned out, those of any country who knocked.

One in five of the migrants claim benefits. Nearly half of those who arrived never went to school in their home country or left before passing any exams, so they can only find menial jobs. Two out of three of the female arrivals are unemployed. In schools, teachers are faced with teenagers (some of whom have been here since they were babies) who struggle with the most basic German.

Today, Joseph finds the tables have turned on him. Germany has had a 'seine Meinung andern' – a change of mind – after letting in so many migrants. And, like many others, he has gone to ground.

Chancellor Friedrich Merz announced this week that the German welfare state is no longer sustainable for either its own people or the millions of Merkel newcomers. The welcome is over and deportations come top of the political agenda.

Every week, the authorities put migrants on flights to their home countries, some of them the very people greeted by Merkel's supporters waving banners and balloons ten years ago.

The Mail has been shown details of recent deportation flight lists. Earlier this month, at 7am, a group of migrants was put on a government-chartered aircraft leaving Frankfurt for Nigeria and Ghana. A day later, another plane left for Serbia and North Macedonia. There have been multiple flights from various German airports to Iraq, Georgia, Bulgaria, Croatia, Serbia, and Moldova.

In August last year came the first flight to Afghanistan carrying away violent criminals, offenders, and terror supporters. Each received £850 in cash to go. The German government used Middle East intermediaries to arrange the deportation with the Taliban. A further 15,000 Afghanis are now listed for deportation, some of them suspected of terror-linked offences.

Our informant added bitterly: 'They also hope to deport Syrians despite their country being in turmoil after the recent coup and the fact they were being invited in first. Germany has become a wolf in sheep's clothing.' In truth, the deportations are mired in legal red tape. The German government this week, showing frustration, threatened to strip asylum seekers' of the right to an immigration lawyer in an effort to remove more – and faster. Alexander Throm, a senior MP in the Chancellor's Christian Democrats party said: 'Many deportations fail due to various legal obstacles.

'Also, if people go into hiding or can't be found, the police may give up trying to arrest them.' German state TV recently aired a compelling documentary on the reality of deportations by following a team from the Foreigners' Authority based in Brandenburg, north-east Germany.
The aim of the film was to assure Germans that action is being taken. However, it also revealed a system that is creaking under the weight of the work.

O Português não é a língua materna de 3 em cada 10 alunos migrantes.

 


Em cinco anos, o número de alunos estrangeiros nos Ensino Básico e Secundário aumentou mais de 160 por cento. São hoje 140 mil os estudantes inscritos na escola pública, de mais de 187  nacionalidades. No ano letivo 2018/2019 eram 53 mil, representando 5,3% do total de alunos matriculados. Em 2023/2024 já representavam 13,9% do total de alunos do Ensino Básico e Secundário. E para este ano, o ME estima a chegada de mais 20 mil.

Mais de metade dos alunos com nacionalidade estrangeira são brasileiros (52%) e cerca de 7 em cada 10 são da CPLP (72%) - 59 % do total. Brasil, Angola, São Tomé e Príncipe, Índia, Venezuela, Paquistão, Bangladesh, Colômbia, Argentina e Rússia são as nacionalidades com maior aumento de número e percentagem de alunos entre 2018/19 e 2023/24. Em média, as escolas têm alunos de 19 nacionalidades (eram 11 em 2018/2019) e há estabelecimentos com estudantes de 46 nacionalidades. O Português não é a língua materna de 3 em cada 10 alunos migrantes.

Para fazer face a esse “aumento acentuado” de crianças e jovens estrangeiros nas escolas, o ME anunciou várias medidas de “Integração e Sucesso dos Alunos Migrantes”.  A grande novidade face aos anos letivos anteriores é a contratação de mediadores linguísticos e culturais, cujo  impacto orçamental está calculado em 9,5 milhões (45% financiado pelo PESSOAS2030). Assim, chegarão às escolas que recebem mais alunos migrantes 272 mediadores. Será atribuído um mediador por cada 20 alunos (valor para crédito horário ou equivalente financeiro). O foco está nos estudantes recém-chegados ao sistema educativo português, com nacionalidade estrangeira e origem não-CPLP.

PS: Com cerca de 500 mil pedidos de reagrupamento familiar pendentes, e admitindo que cada agregado familiar se compõe apenas da mulher e um filho, será mais um imigrantes em idade escolar. Como é o Ministério da Educação vai conseguir "encaixar" um total de 640 mil estudantes estrangeiros - arranjar professores, salas de aulas, mediadores culturais (3 % dos alunos estrangeiros não falam português)?

Austrian court allows use of Islamic Sharia law in private contracts

 

In a controversial decision, an Austrian court has ruled Islamic law (Sharia) can be used for arbitration purposes in the European country if the contract parties agree on it.

In the case in question two men had signed a contract which mandated that in case of conflicts an arbitration tribunal would decide “based on Islamic law (Ahlus-Sunnah wal-Jamaah) in accordance with equity in the matter to the best knowledge and belief.”

The term Ahlus-Sunnah wal-Jamaah denotes the Sunni Islamic community. 

After a conflict between the two men arose the arbitration tribunal decided against the plaintiff and required him to pay €320,000. The plaintiff then brought suit before the Vienna Regional Court for Civil Matters. He argued that the application of the Islamic law was arbitrary as scholars interpreted Sharia law differently. Furthermore, invoking Sharia law violated the fundamental values of Austrian law.

The (secular) court, however, found that the decision of the arbitration tribunal was lawful. Whether or not Islamic legal rules were applied here could not be verified, according to the Regional Court. The result of the arbitration tribunal did not contradict Austrian fundamental values, and that was all that mattered. Islamic legal provisions, the Regional Court emphasised, could be “effectively agreed upon in an arbitration agreement” for property claims.

The court ruling has caused a storm of criticism about the supposed further “Islamisation” of Austria.

“This opens the door even wider for political Islam”, Michael Schilchegger, an MP and speaker on constitutional law for the right-wing Austrian Freedom Party (FPÖ) wrote in a press statement. “The ruling elevates Islamic parallel societies in Austria and weakens those forces that do not want to submit to Islam. A sad day for the secular constitutional state.”

His party colleague Manfred Haimbuchner echoed the sentiment, writing: “Sharia law is incompatible with the Austrian understanding of law and violates all moral standards that I am familiar with. Unfortunately, our constitutional state is currently powerless against this form of Islam.” 

It is not only right-wingers who are enraged with the court’s ruling. The Turkish Cultural Community (TKG), an association of secular Turks in Austria, protested the decision to recognize the Sharia “as law” and called to attention that the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) had decided in 2003 that Sharia law and the resulting introduction of a parallel legal system were forbidden in Europe.

“The Vienna court’s decision is a major intervention, today in the secular economy, tomorrow perhaps in production, service, and sales regulations”, wrote Melissa Günes, the TKG’s general secretary.

Europe: The Great Replacement


 

Knife Crime in Germany Surges 17 % in The First Half of 2025. Foreigners Accounted for 36 % Of Crime Suspects

 


The number of violent knife crimes in Germany has risen sharply once again, with newly released Federal Police figures confirming a worsening trend.

In the first half of 2025, 730 cases were recorded under Federal Police jurisdiction, a 17 percent increase compared to the same period last year. The data, provided by the German government in response to a parliamentary query from Alternative for Germany (AfD) domestic affairs spokesman Martin Hess and obtained by Junge Freiheit, show a marked overrepresentation of foreign suspects.

Out of the recorded offenses, 278 involved German suspects and 270 involved non-Germans. While foreigners make up just under 15 percent of Germany’s population, they accounted for over 36 percent of knife crime suspects. Among them, Syrians formed the largest group with 29 cases, followed by Afghans with 23 and Poles with 20. Algerian and Afghan suspects were among the most likely to use a knife rather than merely carry one, with 83 percent of cases involving actual use.
