'Germans want a vote on the EU too' Merkel hell as Germany calls for UK-style referendum

GERMANY must have a UK-style referendum on its membership of the EU, the political party which gave Angela Merkel a bloody nose over the migrant crisis insists.

Alternative fur Deutschland, formed in 2013, shocked the German establishment last week with huge gains in state elections.

The results have placed it in prime position to challenge Mrs Merkel’s CDU/CSU coalition in next year’s general election.

Speaking exclusively to the Sunday Express last night, party leaders shared their envy of Britain’s forthcoming EU referendum on June 23, and confirmed they would be pushing for a similar move in Germany.

“I want every member state to decide what is better for them, and the only way we can really do that is to have a referendum, like the UK.” said deputy chairman Beatrix von Storch MEP.

“Schengen has collapsed already. Under Schengen Europe’s borders are supposed to be protected. They’re not.

“A referendum is the only way German people can truly express if they want to stay in the EU, if they want to stay in the Euro, if they want to reform border controls to deal with the migrant crisis. They should be given a voice. They must be asked what they want."

Angela Merkel last week refused to back down on her policy not to cap the number of refugees given asylum in Germany. Over the last 12 months, more than 1.1 migrants have crossed Germany’s borders with 300,000 granted asylum. The policy will cost German taxpayers £36bn by 2017, according to a recent report.

AfD won an extraordinary 61 seats in 3 regional parliaments last week, coming second with 24 per cent of the votes in Saxony-Anhalt.

“We’re still a very young party so it’s a huge success," said Ms von Storch.

“What’s even more important is the result in Baden-Wuertemberg, where we overtook the SDP, a ruling coalition party, to gain 15 per cent of the votes.

“Our success shows that the people are no longer supporting the politics of our Chancellor and all the other parties who back her.

“We are the only ones arguing that the only way for Germany to fight the refugee and migrant crisis is to close our borders.”

She rejected claims that AfD was an extreme right-wing party, describing its views as “social conservatives and fiscal liberals”.

Its core demographic, she said, was in the 18-40 year old group.

“Most of our supporters are young and well educated,” she added.

“In fact, our weakest group is the over-60s. And that’s good because we want our supporters to grow with us.”

She said attempts to lump AfD in with the right wing anti-Islamic movement Pegida had failed.

“Our political rivals have tried to damage us by linking us to Pegida – it’s the easiest way to damage a political party, especially here in Germany. But the people saw through this,” she said.

“The truth is that the ruling CDU is so left-wing that anyone who holds a position to its right is actually still in the centre. And that’s were we are, right of centre.

“We want to help people, of course, but we can’t have them all in Germany.

“When it comes to economic migration from within the EU, we think the free movement of labour is okay as long as people are working. We don’t think they should be allowed to come to Germany just to take advantage of our generous benefits system.”

Last week the Sunday Express reported a poll that suggested a third more Britons would vote to leave the EU if Turkey was formally allowed to become a member state.

Pointing to ongoing negotiations between Brussels and Ankara, Ms von Storch said Turkish accession to the EU was red-line issue for German people as well.

“Ultimately, we must protect our borders. We must distinguish between migrants from refugees outside the EU and those form within” said Ms von Storch.

“The EU sees Turkey as the answer to our immigration problems. Well, President Erdogan knows how to play the game, and he will try to accelerate the accession process.

“This can only garner more support for us as we are likely to be the only party to oppose this.”

However, AfD is not a one-issue party, she said, pointing to other areas where EU interference has worked badly for Germany.

Our family platform places us where the Christian Democrats were ten years ago - social conservative values. We still believe in the idea of a nuclear family, with a mother, father and children. Unfortunately this has become an extraordinary idea in today’s Germany,’ she said.

“For instance, we believe the time mothers take to stay at home to raise their children should be recognised in the same way as full-time working when it comes to calculating their pension entitlements.“

The Bologna process, an EU-wide reform adopted by 33 member states including the UK to bring Higher Education systems across Europe together, had also been a failure for Germany she said.

Asked whether AfD would continue to pose a threat to the Angela Merkel and the ruling coalition, she replied: “Our general elections are 18 months away, and that’s a long time.

“I’m pretty sure the problems we are facing now will have only increased, and we will gain even more support as people realise that we are the only party with answers to the real problems affecting Germans.”

PHOTOS: NAZI SALUTES ON THE ROYAL MILE AS THE SDL PROTEST IN EDINBURGH

March 20, 2016



Edinburgh’s Royal Mile is known around the world for its street performance. The cobbled concourse up to the castle can be a challenge to navigate at the best of times, with its ceaseless array of fire jugglers, pipers and coach parties of European sightseers.

This afternoon, there was a different kind of performance on show, as around 40 supporters of the far-right Scottish Defence League returned to the capital for a protest “against refugees”. Events followed a familiar formula as a larger crowd of anti-racists met to oppose them. Both sides were kept well apart by police, with a large section of the street portioned off with metal barriers to contain each protest.

The SDL’s turnout was noticeably down on their last Edinburgh outing in October, although their numbers were boosted by a contingent from England of ex-EDL and ‘National Action’ supporters. As with last year’s demo, any suggestion that the SDL are pretending to be anything other than hardened neo-Nazis has been abandoned, with Combat 18 flags and sieg hail salutes on open display.

Sorry to snip, but the idea of the Germans leaving the EU is hilarious. It'd leave an empty shell, with the last ones to leave having to turn out the lights.

Video Released of 60 Minutes Film Crew Being Attacked in Sweden by Migrants
by Alex Griswold | 8:33 am, March 21st, 2016


0 Minutes Australia finally aired its footage three weeks after an incident in which its film crew was attacked by a group of masked men in Sweden.

The crew was filming in the predominantly immigrant district of Rinkeby in the capital city of Stockholm. Immediately upon arriving they were confronted by a group of men in a car, who deliberately drove into the cameraman.

Lead correspondent Liz Hayes called the police, but even they were hesitant to follow them into the district. “I think it would be better if you go in without us,” a policeman bluntly tells Hayes.

At first things appear to be running smoothly, with the locals acting friendly towards the crew and giving their life stories. But after the police left, young men masking their faces ran up and began harassing them.

Playing Poker with One Card

by Payman Shamsian

The number of registered refugees in Turkey has exceeded three million, which makes it the largest sanctuary in the world. This number is terrifying, not only for human rights organizations or Turkey’s government, but also for European leaders. It is clear why human rights institutions are concerned: this number shows the size of the world’s greatest ongoing humanitarian crisis. Turkey’s government is concerned because it has to deal with these refugees inside the country. Is Europe concerned by this number because of the humanitarian causes that it champions around the world? No, European leaders are in a panic because they are afraid of Turkey letting all these refugees come to Europe. And Turkey’s Erdogan is well aware of this fear.

Since last summer, which many Europeans are likely to remember as the time of “refugee/immigrant crisis,” Europe has tried in multiple ways to halt the inflow of refugees mostly coming from Syria, Iraq, and Afghanistan . It tried to close the borders. It appealed publicly to refugees not to come to Europe. And it tried hard to educate potential asylum seekers about the physical risks they would undergo in making the trip. None of these attempts has worked so far, given the fact that the number of arrivals remains immense, about 150,000 people so far this year.

Europe now sees Turkey as the only power that can keep the refugee flow contained in the Middle East. Of course, by adopting harsher policies against refugees and deporting them back to Turkey, Europe is undermining its normative power as the world’s most well known defender and promoter of human values. At the same time, the presence of large numbers of refugees in Europe highlights the internal weaknesses and defects of the European Union.

To extract itself from this predicament, Europe essentially wants to make Erdogan its immigration-enforcement officer for the Middle East. In the two summits that have been held between EU and Turkey so far, Brussels has promised 6 billion euros to help Turkey deal with the refugees inside its territory. The policy of “one in, one out” is the simplistic solution of European and Turkish leaders to the refugee crisis.

In this game, however, Turkey declines to play the fool, as Erdogan put it. Since, at this point, the refugee card is the strongest card for Turkey to play, Erdogan wants to play it for all it’s worth.

What is Turkey Doing?

At the moment, Turkey is struggling with serious domestic and foreign-policy challenges. Yet another deadly explosion—blamed on the Islamic State (ISIS or IS) this time—has caused multiple casualties in Istanbul. Both Istanbul and Ankara have already been hit twice this year. Coupled with the increasingly bloody conflict in the Kurdish southeast, Turkey’s national security appears more and more at risk.

On the international level, Turkey seems lonelier than ever. Erdogan, who once dreamed of reviving the Ottoman Empire, can count on virtually no one to support it. Since the onset of the civil war in Syria, the relationship between Iran and Turkey has steadily deteriorated. Turkey’s relations with the U.S. are getting colder by the day due mostly to the increasingly close relationship between Washington and the Syrian Kurdish PYD, which Ankara considers a terrorist organisation. And Russia was on the verge of war with Turkey just a couple of months ago.

On top of all this, Turkey has squandered some of the trump cards its foreign policy has traditionally held in winning concessions from allies and adversaries. Ankara, for example, can no longer count on its membership in NATO as diplomatic leverage. When Turkey deployed troops to northern Iraq a few months ago, its NATO partners – along with Arab countries led by Baghdad itself – urged it to remove them expeditiously. Although Turkey complied, it failed to win any concessions in return, as Erdogan had hoped. On another occasion, Turkey’s downing of a Russian jet close to its border with Syria last November largely backfired, resulting not only in Moscow’s installation of advanced anti-aircraft systems in Syria, but also shaking NATO’s confidence in Ankara as a reliable ally. Indeed, the incident gave rise to fears that Erdogan, whether deliberately or not, was capable of dragging the alliance into a serious confrontation with Moscow.

Similarly, while Turkey plays a key role for the West as a strategic corridor for the trans-shipment of Caspian Sea and Central Asian energy resources to Europe, it has been unable to effectively use this card during the on-going crisis. In part, this is due to circumstances largely beyond its control, including the release of Iranian oil to the European market following the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action concluded in July by Tehran and the P5+1. With Iran beginning to supply Europe, the continent’s reliance on oil and gas shipped through Turkey has naturally diminished. Moreover, the existing surplus of energy resources on the global markets, partly due to Saudi oil production policies, has not helped. The slackening of Turkey’s own spectacular economic growth rates in recent years, however, has also damaged its leverage in this area.

At the same time, Erdogan’s popularity in the Arab world has declined significantly, thanks to the Gezi Park protests two years ago, Turkey’s miscalculations in Syria, the renewal of hostilities against the Kurds, and the president’s own barely disguised authoritarianism. The Justice and Development Party (AKP) leader is now struggling with an unprecedented legitimacy crisis both inside and outside his country that has greatly reduced Turkey’s appeal as a model of a Muslim democratic state.

Erdogan’s Tactics

In this context, the refugee crisis is something of a godsend for Erdogan despite the huge burden it has placed on Turkey. He is trying to depict Turkey as the main victim of a crisis that somehow justifies his heavy-handed policies inside and outside of its borders. Several months ago, Erdogan intimidated the EU by implicitly threatening to flood Europe with refugees unless Brussels agreed to a number of conditions, including lifting the visa requirements for Turkish visitors to EU countries, accelerating Turkey’s EU accession, and easing European pressure and muting its criticism over human rights issues. Now, even after the recent takeover of Zaman, the country’s largest-circulation newspaper and one of the AKP’s main critics, the EU seems to be acquiescing.

Erdogan uses the same method of blackmail and fear-mongering to win elections, attack his opponents, and suppress its critics at home. He warns that IS and Kurdish terrorists are infiltrating the refugee flow with the purpose of wreaking havoc in Turkey itself. This, in turn, justifies the increased repression, further incites nationalism, and fuels ethnic and sectarian divisions.

In other words, the priority for Turkey is not the refugees per se, but the political and geopolitical gains that they can be used for. Refugees offer a golden opportunity for Erdogan to continue and intensify his blackmail abroad and his repression at home, though it’s unclear how long he can survive by pursuing this strategy.

Refugee crisis: the EU cracks down on volunteers

As Frontex moves in, volunteers in Greece are being prevented from helping refugees.
Marienna Pope-Weidemann reports

March 2016



Volunteers help refugees on the coast of Lesbos.

In October 1943 Adolf Hitler ordered the deportation of all Jews in Denmark to Nazi concentration camps. More than 99 percent of them were saved because thousands of people risked imprisonment—and worse—to smuggle over 7,500 men, women and children to safety in Sweden in a matter of days.

Similar stakes may now be imposed on volunteers in the Greek islands, as the EU border agency, Frontex, begins to assert its authority over an area that 400 people have drowned trying to reach since the New Year. ‘We do feel as if we are in the resistance in World War Two,’ said Lara, a young Dutch volunteer on Chios. ‘We were "randomly" checked for papers and passports and told not to feed the hungry. Every move we make is being watched now.’

Frontex takes control

At the end of 2015 a storm was brewing. Slovenia, Croatia, Serbia and Macedonia shut their doors, trapping hundreds of people in freezing temperatures at Greece’s northern border. The move triggered hunger strikes and demonstrations, with young men sewing their lips shut to represent their voicelessness, wielding signs that read ‘Shoot Us or Save Us.’ Meanwhile, Greece came under growing pressure from the EU to control the flow of people and was threatened with exclusion from the Schengen free movement.

In response, Syriza has done all it knows how to do—surrender—and now the walls are closing in. With a bankrupt government leaving gaping holes in its aid system and an EU earmarking its wealth for border control, solidarity networks were given an informal go-ahead to do the lifesaving work that no one else was going to do. By working night and day they achieved superhuman feats and became the thin line separating disaster from total barbarism. But now, they are under attack.

2016 started with a move to force all volunteers and charities helping refugees in Greece to register with the police. This might not sound unreasonable, except for three important points. Firstly, a lot of the help people need—whether it’s giving lifts to get vulnerable people out of the cold or cooking for starving families without waiting for Greek bureaucracy to catch up with its paperwork—all this is against the law.

This is part of the reason why independent volunteers are so important. As Lara explained, big aid agencies ‘can’t even provide for the most basic needs because of the rules.' She continued: 'Part of what creates this inhumane situation is a lack of self-responsibility. As an independent volunteer with twenty blankets, you know if you don’t distribute them there will be at least 20 people freezing to death and that’s on your conscience. If you work for UNHCR and you have 200 blankets but are forbidden to give them out, the order comes from higher up so your conscience doesn’t come into it. Instead of questioning, they put the responsibility outside of themselves, which is comfortable and convenient.’

The second point is that over half the Greek police force support the neo-Nazi Golden Dawn Party, so volunteers are effectively flipping a coin as to whether they're sharing sensitive information with an armed fascist.

Apologies for interrupting the copypasta war, but again I am amused by the clumsiness of shoehorning Hitler into the first paragraph

(I think my previous Godwin's was concerning the recent insertion of the Brownshirts into Trump's campaign, posted by.... guess who.)

[tapitsbo]

Who is supposed to be playing the part of Hitler in the war? Gee, where are people being rounded up into camps permanently without a chance to leave? Comparing Assad to Hitler is about as tone deaf as comparing Obama to Enver Hoxha. Why do so many have unconditional sympathy for migrants once they have entered the West but not enough sympathy to ask questions about the why and how of the war (many migrants of course aren't coming from warzones, yet they are being settled in countries that contain warzones e.g. Turkey, Ukraine, etc.)?
