Cologne takes a stand against deportation
16.09.2018
Some 12,000 people took to the streets in Cologne, Dortmund and Gelsenkirchen on Sunday to demand the German government cease deportations to countries like Iraq and Afghanistan.
Opponents of the policy say both nations are too dangerous for individuals to be deported to, and that they should be allowed to stay in Germany instead.
Cologne's conservative mayor Henriette Reker, who was famously stabbed by an anti-immigration extremist, was among those who took part in the "Cologne takes a stand!" demonstration.
The marchers also wanted to protest racism and xenophobia in the wake of right-wing violence in the eastern city of Chemnitz earlier in September.
Their signs bore slogans such as "sea rescues are a duty," and "nationalism is a mistake."
The decision by the German government to declare parts of conflict-ridden nations like Aghanistan "safe countries of origin," has proven extremely controversial. This was most recently highlighted by the case of an Afghan man committing suicide upon return to Kabul, one day after conservative Interior Minister Horst Seehofer bragged about having carried out 69 deportations in time for his 69th birthday.
Germans also often protest at airports ahead of deportations being carried out.
"Cologne takes a stand!" was less of a tense political standoff, and more the air of a community festival, in keeping with the peaceful message of the demonstration.

Germans upbeat about immigration, study finds
Sept 17, 2018
Despite gloomy headlines about the asylum policy debate, a majority view life with their immigrant and non-immigrant neighbors positively. The study still noted an East-West split, as well as a divide on headscarves.
People living in Germany continue to view the country's multicultural society positively, according to a new study published by the Expert Council of German Foundations on Integration and Migration (SVR).
The "Integration Barometer 2018" is the first representative study on the matter to come out since the start of the so-called refugee crisis in 2015, which saw hundreds of thousands of people escaping war and poverty in their home countries enter Europe.
Despite refugees and immigration policy dominating the news and politician's speaking points in Germany, the study found that most people still think that life with their immigrant or non-immigrant neighbors is going well.
Main takeaways
- Some 63.8 percent of local Germans — people described as not having an immigrant background — view the integration situation positively, down marginally from the 65.4 percent logged in 2015. Residents with immigrant backgrounds viewed the integration situation even more positively, rating it at 68.9 percent.
- The study found a particular divide between the eastern and western states, with 66 percent of western Germans satisfied with the status of immigration, while eastern Germans rated it at 55 percent.
- The study found that areas where fewer migrants live, such as in the eastern German states, there are more reservations about immigration and integration.
- Men viewed the status of integration in Germany more negatively than women.
Solution to tensions in education
Researchers noted that skepticism about immigrants can be overcome by having more "personal encounters."
"The everyday experiences are significantly better than what the [media] discourse would suggest," researchers wrote in the study.
Germany's integration commissioner, Annette Widmann-Mauz, said the study's results were "a good sign" and that it's important to support schools and other places where people have more opportunities to come into contact with their neighbors. She noted that the attitudes about integration are most positive "wherever there are direct contacts in the neighborhoods, among friends or at work."
Majority want to help refugees
Attitudes towards refugees were largely positive from both people with and without immigrant backgrounds in Germany. Around 60 percent of local Germans support continuing to take in refugees, also if Germany were the only country accepting asylum-seekers in the European Union. However, a majority of them also want to curb refugee arrivals.
Split on headscarf bans
Around 80 percent of Muslims questioned in the study supported women and girls being allowed to wear headscarves to school. Only 41 percent of Christians, on the other hand, thought that headscarves should be allowed in schools. Local Germans were more open to allowing headscarves in public authorities, with 52 percent backing the idea.
Muslim women living in Germany were specifically asked in the SVR study about their opinions on headscarf bans. Out of the 29 percent of women who said they wear a head covering, a majority backed measures for them to be allowed at school and public authorities. Around 66 percent of Muslim women who don't wear head coverings said they should be allowed.

Merkel Ally Loses Vote as Lawmakers Push Back
Leader’s right hand fails to regain leadership of conservatives in parliament
BERLIN—Angela Merkel’s grip on power took a severe blow on Tuesday when her party’s lawmakers ousted a close ally of the German chancellor as their parliamentary leader and replaced him with a candidate she had refused to endorse.
The affront—Ms. Merkel’s protégé had been the conservatives’ parliamentary floor leader for all 13 years of her successive terms—is the latest and most telling sign of the erosion in the chancellor’s authority since she delivered her party’s worst performance in seven decades at last year’s general election.
Volker Kauder, who was voted out as leader of Ms. Merkel’s conservative bloc in parliament, had been a key instrument of the chancellor’s rule. Appointed a day before she first became chancellor in 2005, he was responsible for marshaling majorities ahead of important legislative votes and defusing rebellions among conservative lawmakers, including over the bailouts of Greece during the eurozone crisis and the chancellor’s open-door refugee policy of 2015-16.
As the chancellor shifted toward the center after her first successful election, abolishing compulsory military service, accelerating a phaseout of nuclear power, lowering retirement age for some workers and paving the way for same-sex marriages, Mr. Kauder was the man to keep her troops in line.
“Merkel’s power basis is melting away and she is severely weakened,” said Thorsten Benner, director of the Global Public Policy Institute, a leading Berlin-based political think tank. “Legislators clearly no longer want to be silent supporters of Merkel’s agenda and they have decided to end the consensus.”
Mutti Merkel's influence is getting weaker and weaker...

That's another reason why you need term limits. Merkel has been in power so long that her decisions in her 4th term now become a farce.
Too many bridges burned and political opponents silence that it becomes very stale.
That also applies to Europe. Where can Merkel still go now and start something new?
And that is not really due to the political decisions she has made. Most of those were 50:50 issue.
If she would have closed the borders there would be people blaming her for that.
Or if she would have Greece get bankrupt there would have been as many people criticising her for that decision that are now criticising her for rescuing it.
Many of EU decisions are 50:50. No matter what decisions you take you will have people disliking it.
Now to start a new course you would need a fresh German leader that still has political capital.
After 14 years of difficult decisions that is simply gone.
Especially in Germany. Because German people don't like change. Merkel would probably win another term if she runs again.
Also in her defense, she has done a lot of good as well.
I don't think thats 100% true, the considerable immigration to England from the 50's to maybe the 90's can be seen a somewhat successful, it all turned to shit after that imo, keyword in your post is ''shitty people''Sweden, England and Germany have all but admitted that mass immigration doesn't work. They won't integrate and they won't add to society in any meaningful way. Now you're stuck with shitty people who won't follow the law and won't do anything that helps the country as a whole. Way to go idiots trying to shore up social security
