Bundestag to debate new measures following Cologne sex attacks as Merkel comes under increasing pressure

On va débattre ce jour au Bundestag de la question des agressions en Allemagne.

Le ministre de la justice déclare à Bild  que les attaques étaient coordonnées.

Merkel retourne sa veste et prétend vouloir punir les responsables. Elle veut durcir la loi contre ceux qui commettent ces crimes.

AfD réclame son départ.

48% des Allemands sont maintenant en faveur d ‘une limitation de l’immigration contre 44% qui sont contre.

Le soi disant terroriste de la Goutte d’or avec sa fausse ceinture d’explosifs était bien connu des services   Allemands, comme demandeur d’asile, sous diverses identités. 

The German Bundestag will today debate new measures following the New Year’s Eve sex-attacks in Cologne.  Justice Minister Heiko Mass told Bild am Sonntag that he believes the attacks were coordinated. Speaking at a meeting of her CDU party on Saturday, German Chancellor Angela Merkel said that the perpetrators “must feel the full force of the law” and backed plans to tighten laws to deport asylum seekers who have committed serious crimes. Merkel faces serious pressure from within her own party and her critics, with the immigration-sceptic Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) calling for her resignation.

 

Protesters vented their frustrations in Cologne on Saturday, with thousands of right-wing, left-wing and women’s rights organisations demonstrating outside the main station. A Bild am Sonntag poll suggests that 48% of Germans are in favour of an upper limit on the number of refugees arriving in Germany annually, compared to 44% who are opposed. Meanwhile, the German authorities have come under further pressure as it has emerged that a lone terrorist killed in a shootout with police in Paris last week was registered as an asylum seeker in Germany, and was known to authorities having spent time in jail.
