If a fairly bland comment from Friedrich Merz on the importance of border control can cause a political ‘scandal’ to drag on for days and even weeks, imagine the reaction if the chancellor actually seriously tried to do something about mass uncontrolled migration.
Perhaps prompted by the fact that members of their own (CDU) party are kicking up a fuss about Merz saying “we still have this problem in the cityscape” with migrant crime—their criticism confirming that the establishment will never effect proper change—Federal Health Minister Nina Warken said on Monday that there are indeed ‘no-go areas’ for women in Germany.
Warken told reporters:
It is true that young and older women often feel unsafe in public spaces and avoid certain places and paths, carrying pepper spray … Many women tell me that they avoid places, that they avoid taking the train.
She also advised women to use pepper spray if in danger, although journalist Roland Tichy noted that this has been banned by the ‘traffic light’ coalition, saying:
Even if it remains in the handbag, it is strictly punished. This is how women are made into defenseless victims—and then mocked as well.
AfD co-leader Alice Weidel also accused Merz’s CDU of “window dressing” on Tuesday, with its new ‘security package’ that allows “dangerous individuals and sex offenders … to stay,” while “at the same time, 20,000 asylum seekers are admitted into the country every month.”
Merz’s position can hardly have been helped when former Chancellor Angela Merkel gave an address which the media perceived as being a further attack on the “cityscape” comments. Many have pointed to the irony of this criticism, given Merkel’s own involvement in Europe’s migration crisis.
Of course, the more these establishment types take chunks out of each other over rhetoric that plenty of voters would view as being sensible, the more alternative parties will continue rising in the polls.
