EU leaders: 'No link' between Cologne sex attacks and migrant crisis
Telegraph ^ | 29 Jan 2016 | Matthew Holehouse

Posted on 01/29/2016 5:58:01 PM PST by presidio9

The sex attacks that took place in Cologne on New Year's Eve were simply a "matter of public order" and had nothing to do with the refugee crisis, Jean-Claude Juncker’s inner circle believe.

The European Commission will be the "voice of reason" and tell the public that there is no link between the migration crisis affecting the continent and attacks on women in Germany, internal minutes disclose, amid growing concerns at a "xenophobic" backlash.

The minutes of the European Commission's weekly cabinet meeting from January 13 hint at officials' fears that the events in Cologne could turn public opinion sharply against the million migrants who have entered Europe.

They spell out Mr Juncker's frustration at the inaction of national governments under pressure from voters, and a suggest sense of panic that the inability to halt a growing volume of economic migrants could undermine the "credibility" of the European project.

In events that shocked Germany, a crowd of around a thousand people surrounded and attacked women celebrating the New Year. More than 500 people filed criminal complaints, 40 per cent of which were for sexual assault. At least two cases of rape were reported. The interior ministry, days after the attacks, said that "people with a migration background were almost exclusively responsible for the criminal acts."

One perpetrator is alleged to have told police he was Syrian, adding: "You have to treat me kindly. Mrs Merkel invited me."

German politicians and newspapers were accused of suppressing the events, while in Leipzig protesters from the Pegida movement marched with banners reading 'Rapefugees not welcome'. Ukip have said the events show why Britain should vote to leave the EU.

The people mostly know what's up... hopefully.
Will they really be so stupid as to believe this crap?

How damn stupid can these people be. Having signs saying welcome when other females are being raped and molested, crime going up, and people being attacked.

Ah, I see the lying spirit of Obama is alive and well in Europe, too.

Wonder how long before Western Europe begs Russia to invade and clear out the riff-raff?

Ok fine.
There will not be any link between the EU saying “no link” and there being no EU very soon. Stuff just happens

Good grief. She even stands there smiling and pride written all over her face. WOW.

Then let her live in an area where they are housed and lets see how great they are when she can’t even go to the store without being hassled or possibly raped by up to 40 guys always hanging about.

Juncker has declared himself an enemy of the people and an agent of the Muslim invaders. He should be treated as such along with his co-conspirators; the lot of them have lost their heads and must be neutralized.

Why are these so called leaders afraid telling the truth? Or are they being paid off to destroy their citizens and their countries? Are they mentally ill? Are they being threatened? How else can they bold face lie like that? They are delusional.
