1. Interesting piece from Focus yesterday.....chatter starting up in Germany that enthusiasm has peaked on E-cars.
I could have predicted that three years ago. Even under this 'mandate' that exist (2030)....any party that is anchoring itself down to enforcing this....is finished by the 2029 federal election.
2. 'Remigration' term is coming up a good bit in German news chatter.
Meaning? Right-wing elements are talking about the idea that even if you are safe (holding a visa or having gained citizenship)....it's possible that political events might be pushed to the limit....forcing you to leave. Yeah, it does sound very much like stuff from the 1930s.
This is also dragging up the idea of banning the AfD Party from political processes.
3. For reference, the Sunday night ARD (public TV) live public forum (9:45 PM) of the Anne Will Show.....has ended. It'll be replaced on 21 Jan with the Caren Miosga Show.
Whether anything changes or evolves? Anyone's guess. I tend to rate the Anne Will Show 4-star at least on trying to explain a major topic or situation developing within Germany. Of the six-odd public forum shows....I'd rank at the highest level.
4. Weird piece out of Focus.....out of Neuss (town in NW Germany). School authorities around Christmas ended up calling the police.
Issue? Group of students....had formed some type of “Sharia police”...trying to instill culture of Islamic law.
This went to the level of trying to have segregation of genders, a prayer room, and attempting to push head coverings for the young ladies of the school.
Focus piece here.
So far, from what the cops have gotten out of the students/their parents....nothing related to a criminal act.
I would imagine that the police have told the school administration to 'take' charge and render the push null, and void. No one says ages here....so it does make me wonder if these were 10-to-12 year old kids.
5. Tuesday (upcoming week), there will be a vote in the Bundestag over deportation changes....to failed asylum folks. Votes are expected to be there...to pass it.
New package? In the past, if you were on the deportation list and got the notice of you must exit....there was a 10-day period for the legal system/police to act, and put you on a plane. If they failed.....by the 10th day....the paperwork was null-and-void....meaning they had to restart things from scratch (releasing you). New period is 30 days.
Another part of the deal....in the past, you got legal representation after the 'failure' of your asylum application. In the new law, as long as you had legal representation prior to the submission.....you are not deemed to get it a 2nd time around. So they are denying you a legal guy. Constitutional? Well....it seems like that this would be accepted as legal.
Being able to search rooms in a refugee center, other than the guy's that they are trying to deport? Yes, that change is in the law as well.
False passport issues? That will now get you on a banned list without much discussion.
Asylum applicants who commit multiple minor crimes within a twelve month period? Deportation goes to a easier step.
Asylum, if you are showing anti-Semitic, sexist or racist behavior? Exit door occurs quickly.
Looking over the list....at least for a year, the public will give the new law a chance to correct the problem of deportation. I doubt that it has that much impact or solves much of the problem. Most countries probably aren't willing to accept you back from your little adventure.
