German Chancellor Friedrich Merz has caused a storm with incendiary remarks about immigrants being responsible for online violence against women.
“We must also address the fact that a significant proportion of this violence comes from groups of immigrants to the Federal Republic of Germany,”
slammed
i hate this. slammed by who?
By whom
By nobody, its clickbait
He is just trying hard to get the Nazi votes. But they will go to AfD anyway.
Inflammatory Merz remarks on migrants’ violence against women slammed
FYI: The reason for this discussion where Merz made the remarks is a case of sexual violence committed by a German man against a woman with a migration background.
Her (now) ex-husband to be precise.
Merz is a pig and a populist who is flailing about looking for distractions, but it’s also frustrating how much discussion on this stuff turns to left-wing people reflexively defending and making excuses for something that most people can clearly see is a problem in modern European cities, and that problem is coming from predominantly young, poor, male, muslim migrants in parts of cities that are quickly becoming ghettoized.
Often people will just say that European chirstians have a horrible history of abuse towards women, which is of course 100% true, but also not really relevant when the question is “do we want to let in more of these people into the country, or less?”
Is that the question though? What about the question, how do we make this place such a bastion of equality and women’s rights, that misogynists and bigots either really don’t want to come here or they (and their children) are readily deprogrammed and reprogrammed?
Never forget: Merz voted against a law to make rape in marriage illegal. He does not care about women’s rights.
Literally none on the right cares about women’s rights
Es war bereits illegal, es war nur ein anderer Straftatbestand.
Love how the bot posting these “bad news from Germany” evaluated this as such while it’s actually good news.
The man in the case about which Nazi Merz was talking about is a white German, the Hitler definition of ‘German’. But instead of taking about violence from men, Merz found a way to make this about immigration to appease the Nazis, who anyway will be voting for the AfD.
I know, and I’m saying it’s a good thing that it caused backlash, per the headline.
