Murder on the open street: What is the guilt of the Green Minister?


Translated from “Mord auf offener Straße: Welche Schuld trägt der grüne Minister?

Junge Freiheit, September 11, 2023

WIESLOCH/STUTTGART. The African Ahmad N. escaped from the forensic psychiatric hospital in Wiesloch and shortly afterwards killed a 30-year-old saleswoman. The murder is now bringing criticism to the Baden-Württemberg Social Minister Manfred Lucha (Greens).

On Friday, the 33-year-old man, who came to Germany as an asylum seeker, used the opportunity to go to “work therapy” to escape from the Nordbaden Psychiatric Center. He ran from the clinic grounds into downtown Wiesloch. His companions lost sight of him. Even the police who were called couldn’t prevent what happened next.

The violent criminal, known to the police, apparently stabbed the saleswoman Lisa S at random at 1 p.m. The 30-year-old was working in the “Tedi” discount store. The store is located in the “Kubus am Adenauer” shopping center. The man, who had been declared not guilty by a court for assault, coercion and insult, had apparently stolen the knife from a bakery beforehand.

The city of 26,000 inhabitants, located 13 kilometers south of Heidelberg, is in shock. Many residents laid flowers and lit candles at the crime scene. The conditions in the prison system are considered unacceptable for the employees. The AfD parliamentary group spoke of “scandalous underfunding of the enforcement of measures.” Social Minister Manfred Lucha (Greens) must “explain to the state parliament how such a disastrous incident could have occurred.”

There is a “massive shortage of staff and space,” said Baden-Württemberg SPD MP Florian Wahl. There are also structural defects. The politician made serious allegations against Lucha. He has known about the untenable conditions for years and has not changed the situation. The SPD is calling for a special session of the state parliament to enforce measures.

The police arrested Ahmad N. shortly after the murder under the “threat of using firearms.” Once again he was not taken into custody, but sent back to the psychiatric clinic. The district judge justified the decision by saying that he assumed that the man was incapable of crime.

Whaaaat? It seems the judge is more insane than the murderer.




France: Three Muslim teens arrested, were ‘considering

Indre-et-Loire: three radicalized minors suspected of violent plans indicted


Translated from “Indre-et-Loire : trois mineurs radicalisés soupçonnés de projets violents mis en examen,” la Nouvelle République, September 15, 2023 


Arrested at the end of August and beginning of September in Joué-lès-Tours (Indre-et-Loire), they were indicted in Paris by an anti-terrorism judge.

Three minors aged 15 and 16, “radicalized” and suspected of “violent plans” or of wanting to go to Syria, were arrested at the end of August and beginning of September in Joué-lès-Tours (Indre-et-Loire) and placed in custody. examination in Paris by an anti-terrorism judge, AFP learned Friday from a source close to the case.

They were arrested by the General Directorate of Internal Security (DGSI) after being spotted “testing homemade explosives”, detailed this source.

The three were indicted in Paris, two of them having been imprisoned and the third placed under judicial supervision, it was specified.

A “home visit confirmed their radicalization, their attraction to Islamist ideology,” this source said.

The three teenagers manifested themselves “through fairly strong online activity” and they “consumed and relayed propaganda on a number of platforms,” including “a video game platform and a Telegram channel.”

One of the teenagers “had pledged allegiance to the Islamic State” and wanted to “join the IS in the area,” in Syria, it was further specified.

The others were “considering a plan for violent action.” They had created “groups on encrypted messaging,” but “were not about to take action,” said the source, also indicating that they had “recognized their ideology quite widely.”

As in recent arrests of radicalized young people, these are “once again young profiles, undoubtedly with an element of immaturity, of adolescent discontent,” detailed the source close to the case.

But there are “tangible elements of propaganda dissemination, allegiance and a level of radicalism” in this file.

It is these radicals who belong in an asylum, segregated from society that they hate so much.

EU pledges return of migrants from overwhelmed Italian island

amid call for naval blockade


Nearly 7,000 migrants arrived on Lampedusa on boats from Tunisia in single day

European Union Commission President Ursula von der Leyen pledged the swift return of "irregular" migrants and a crackdown on the "brutal business" of migrant smuggling on Sunday during a visit with Italy's prime minister to a tiny fishing island overwhelmed with nearly 7,000 arrivals in a single day this week.

Tensions have spiked on Lampedusa, an island closer to Tunisia than the Italian mainland, with residents expressing impatience with the constant flow of migrants trying to reach Europe from North Africa arriving on their shores — not just this week but for decades.

Have they considered giving Lampedusa to Tunisia? 

Migrants who spoke to CBC News said they were fleeing sectarian violence and domestic abuse, among other issues, and with little resources to support them on Lampedusa, they must rely on the benevolence of locals for food and water.

Of course, they know they have to say that in order to qualify for asylum.

"We will decide who comes to the European Union, and under what circumstances. Not the smugglers," von der Leyen declared after touring the island's hot spot. The Red Cross said 1,500 migrants remained in the centre built to accommodate 400 people. With no space at the centre, many migrants have been sleeping in cots on the side of the road.

In the face of the new crisis on Lampedusa, far-right Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has pledged tougher measures and is calling for a naval blockade of North Africa to prevent migrants on smugglers' boats from departing.

Von der Leyen's vow to crack down on migrant smuggling and help Italy cope with the spike in arrivals as part of a 10-point plan appeared to stop short of a naval blockade. She instead offered support for "exploring options to expand existing naval missions in the Mediterranean, or to work on new ones."

The plan also includes speeding funds to Tunisia as part of a deal with the EU to block departures in exchange for aid, helping Italy accelerate asylum requests and setting up humanitarian corridors in countries of origin to discourage illegal routes.

This tiny Italian island isn't equipped to keep up with the thousands of migrants arriving from North Africa. An estimated 8,000 people have flooded Lampedusa in the past week, doubling the island's population and straining resources.

She also pledged the Frontex border agency's support in ensuring "the swift return of migrants to their country of origin" who don't qualify to stay in the EU, working with the countries of origin.

Von der Leyen also called on European nations to accept voluntary transfers — a frequent source of discord — as the EU dispatches experts to help manage and register the high number of migrants arriving in Italy.

"It is very important for me [to be here] because irregular migration is a European challenge and it needs a European answer. So we are in this together," she said.

Visit called 'gesture of responsibility'


Meloni, who has softened her once-combative stance against the EU since coming to power last year, framed von der Leyen's visit as a "gesture of responsibility of Europe toward itself," and not just a sign of solidarity with Italy.

"If we don't work seriously all together to fight the illegal departures, the numbers of this phenomenon will not only overwhelm the border countries, but all of the others," Meloni said.

She continued to press for an "efficient" naval blockade, noting that previous EU missions were not properly carried out, resulting in a Mediterranean deployment that Meloni alleges encouraged smuggler departures — a contention that is disputed by migrant experts.

The Italian government intends to quickly activate a system for repatriating migrants who are not eligible to stay in Europe as part of measures to be decided by Monday, Meloni said.

Save the Children, an international NGO, expressed hopes that the visit by the two leaders would bring concrete responses, and it called for a European structure to search for and rescue migrants in danger at sea.

Televised images showed Meloni speaking to islanders expressing their frustrations, telling them the government was working on a robust response, including more than $70 million Cdn to help the island. 

New arrivals have also chafed at the long wait to be transferred to the mainland. TV footage on Saturday showed hundreds surging toward the gate as police used shields to hold them back. In other shots, individual migrants climbed over the fence of the migrant centre.

The crisis is challenging unity within the EU and also Meloni's government.

Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini, head of the populist, right-wing League, has challenged the efficacy of an EU-Tunisia deal that was meant to halt departures in exchange for economic aid. He hosted French right-wing leader Marine Le Pen at an annual League rally in northern Italy later Sunday.

In her remarks, Le Pen lashed out at "those leaders who don't realize there are signs of alarm and danger from the massive arrival of migrants on Lampedusa," which she said created "trouble for the population when leaders don't take action immediately to face this giant challenge."

Most of the migrants arriving this week departed from Tunisia on small, unseaworthy boats.

The number of migrants making the perilous sea journey to Italy has nearly doubled from last year and is on pace to reach the record numbers of 2016, when most migrants left from Libya.

Thanks to NATO countries taking of Moammar Ghaddafi, almost like it was planned.
