Why does Germany silence the crimes committed by
migrants? |

The number of crimes committed by foreigners, illegal migrants first and
foremost, has increased dramatically during the recent two years in Germany.
According to the Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA), migrants committed
more than 200,000 offenses in 2015. This amount is 80% higher than in
the previous year. |
|
In
fact, experts say, the number of offenses is much higher. Many of them
are deliberately silenced as there are political instructions not to publicize
the crimes committed by refugees, in order not to incite anti-immigrant
strife, RIA Novosti reports. |
|
Chairman
of the union of German criminal authorities, André Schultz, says that
up to 90% of sex crimes committed in Germany are not included in official
statistics. |
|
According
to experts, concealing crimes is a policy that German authorities pursue
on a regular basis. The German press does the same, because German mass
media outlets are forbidden to name suspects' nationalities. |
|
Not
that long ago, the largest German broadcasters, ARD, was heavily criticized
after the channel ignored the incident of rape of a woman by refugee from
Afghanistan. Editors of ARD TV decided not to cover the arrest of the
17-year-old refugee in Saturday's Tagesschau news program. Social networkers
showered ARD with criticism, accusing the channel of consciously concealing
the crime in an attempt to remain "politically correct", AFP
reports. |
|
Last
year, Germany opened its borders to about one million Muslim refugees.
This resulted in sexual harassment of German women in Cologne, terrorist
attacks in Olympia shopping center, a knife attack on a train, let alone
such daily crimes as rapes and other attacks that migrants commit. |
|
Chairman
of the German police union, Rainer Wendt, described the situation in Germany
as "a combination of mental instability, terrorism and crime."
The refugee crisis in Germany has given rise to nationalist movements
and marches with torches in the streets of German cities. The movement
PEGIDA (Patriotic Europeans Against the Islamisation of the West) was
declared Islamophobic, while many German officials ceased to be silent.
In the east of Germany, the CDU lost elections to the eurosceptic organization
Alternative for Germany. |

Angela
Merkel started neutralizing her policy of tolerance to refuges during
the reelection year. She assured the Germans that Germany would be able
to handle the problem. She also promised that the massive inflow of refugees
in 2015 would not occur again. The German Chancellor also started talking
about the need to ban the wearing of burqa and emphasized the supremacy
of secular laws over Sharia. |
|
However,
the integration process has already started. It has been reported that
German women have started giving birth to migrants' children. The birth
rate in Germany increased 1.5 times last year and reached a record high
for women in their thirties. |
|
Migrants
and refugees have given Germany what the country needed most - children,
Bloomberg said. According to the agency, Germany is currently experiencing
a baby boom, and the birth rate has grown by 50 percent at once, Life
reports. |
|
Experts
see both positive and negative aspects in the phenomenon. |
|
"Angela
Merkel's positive attitude to migration was not incidental. Germany, in
fact, has serious demographic problems. The influx of migrants, objectively
speaking, would be useful for Germany. In this regard, Japan serves as
a good example. Japan rigidly blocks migration, whereas South Korea, for
example, encourages labor migration. Indeed, the South Korean economy
grows, whereas the Japanese economy stagnates. |
|
"It
works well when migration is adjustable and targetable, but one can not
say that about migration in Europe. There are more minuses than pluses
at this point. It has stirred up protest sentiments in the European society.
Many of those migrants who come to Europe are unwilling to work. They
want to live on social benefits from European governments," leading
researcher at the International Laboratory of Demography and Political
Dynamics, Andrei Korotaev told Pravda.Ru. |
