12 Oct 2024: Five German News Stories

 1.  Focus had a piece....talking over the sixteen German states....who had a list of several hundred migrants with criminal records that they wanted deported, in a serious way.

So in the end (at least  so far).....the states have only been able to deport 28 'bad-boys'.

Challenges in the court system?  Yeah...it leads back to this point.  You also have the problem of the deportee's country....willing to accept them back.  

All of this leading to public anger?  Yeah, more or less.  

2. Opening on 17 Oct....the salary talks with the ATM folks will occur.  Some people speculate that the cost of using ATM machines in Germany will double, and this will lead back to public absorbing these costs.

3.  The coalition gov't of Germany has come to agree on a decline of 'funds' for those who fail in their asylum paperwork.  What this amounts to?  You will get enough for food-soap-and-bed.  

Some folks speculate that this will change the image of Germany as a welcoming state.  Some think that court action will occur.  But in most  cases....you still might be better off (safer) in Germany in such conditions....than in your homeland.

4.  This Krefeld arsonist story I talked about last week?  Well....the German police have reviewed this guy.....he has 27 identities.  This is starting to sound like a 4-star movie script.  Iranian guy.....long list of past criminal acts.  

5.  Hessen (the state) opened up their first ever 'homeland-defense' regiment this week....out of Wiesbaden.  

1,200 reservists are in the regiment.  In case of a crisis within the state, the regiment would be activated and on duty.
