German Chancellor Angela Merkel saved Europe's "dignity" by taking in refugees, French presidential candidate Emmanuel Macron has told a German publication.
The most popular of France's presidential candidates, Emmanuel Macron, took a stance against anti-refugee sentiment in an interview with German daily Süddeutsche Zeitung, which was published on Monday.
The 39-year-old politician voiced admiration for Angela Merkel and Germany for their handling of the refugee crisis.
"Chancellor Merkel and the German society as a whole were up to the mark of our joint values," he said. "They saved our collective dignity by taking in refugees and providing them with accommodation and education."
Macron also slammed the critics of Merkel's refugee policy, who claim that Islamic terror strikes in Berlin and elsewhere are a consequence of her opening doors to newcomers.
This argument is a "hideous oversimplification" he said.
I’ve known people who were mugged on the streets of our cities because they wanted to save their dignity or wanted not to look racist by avoiding obvious thugs. It’s sad when people care more about “dignity” than about saving the lives of their own children.
Stronger EU is the solution
The independent candidate urged the EU to create a "joint intelligence system," in the interview published on Monday.
"Terrorism wants to destroy Europe," Macron told Süddeutsche Zeitung. "We need to create a sovereign Europe, and fast – a Europe capable of protecting us from outside dangers, and boost inner security by doing so."
Macron, who resigned as economy minister under Socialist President Francois Hollande in August, called for boosting Frontex, the agency responsible for protecting the EU's outside borders. He also chided Berlin and Paris for not supporting Italy during the early years of the refugee crisis, when thousands of immigrants started pouring onto the island of Lampedusa.
"The solution is stronger European cooperation and not the ineffective bordering off of nations," Macron told the newspaper.
Bottom line: If France elects such a man as its President, write off France. Never ever trust them in any matter of importance.
You got that right brother
STRASBOURG, France — One was a well-liked elementary school assistant. Another was a hard-working cargo handler. The third was a friendly grocer. They were longtime friends in their quiet suburban neighborhood, and they joked with teenagers and greeted children with a smile.
Yet in the early hours of Nov. 20 agents from France’s internal security agency swooped down, plucking the three and one other from their apartments, charging them with plotting a terrorist attack, and locking them up in a prison outside Paris. Here was a new type of terrorism arrest: decently paid men in their 30s giving no warning signs of radicalization — no beards, no robes, no proselytizing.
And unlike many troubled youths in Paris and Brussels who have latched onto the Islamic State, they did not live on the margins. They had stable jobs and no previous brushes with drugs or crime.
It is their sheer normalcy that has had a thoroughly unsettling effect on the authorities and residents alike.
“Nobody saw anything,” said Olivier Bitz, Strasbourg’s deputy mayor in charge of counter-radicalization. “And that is profoundly disconcerting. It is profoundly destabilizing for society. Now, the threat can come from anywhere.” “It calls for heightened vigilance,” Mr. Bitz added. “These are not people who are outside French society.”
In the days that followed the arrests, French authorities congratulated themselves on nipping in the bud what they called a “deadly” plot. The men were set to “go into action imminently,” François Molins, France’s chief terrorism prosecutor, said in Paris soon after the arrests.
“The Strasbourg terror cell had instructions to get weapons, given by a commander in the Iraq-Syria zone,” Mr. Molins said, adding that weapons and pledges of allegiance to ISIS were found in searches. (Excerpt) Read more at nytimes.com ...
=============================================
THIS IS THE MUSLIM DOCTRINE OF TAQIYYA UP CLOSE:
LIE TO ALL CHRISTIANS (AND INFIDELS)
Taqiyya is practiced once they are allowed into a country (feigning refugee status).
<><> (a) Muslim refugees have pretended to convert to Christianity;
<><>(b) an Islamic gunman gained entrance to a church by feigning interest in Christian prayers.
Examples abound on a daily basis.
In Turkey, to get close enough to a Christian pastor to assassinate him, a group of Muslims including three women feigned interest in Christianity, attended his church for over a year, and even participated in baptism ceremonies.
Said the pastor: "These Muslim people had infiltrated our church and collected information about me, my family and the church and were preparing an attack against us."
" Two of the Muslims attended our church for over a year. They acted like family."
This guy is the former Socialist and Hollande cabinet member who is running for president. He probably doesn’t have a chance in Hell given his association with Hollande. The real contest is between the traditional conservative and the Le Pen populist wing.
Crisis? Why are all “migrants” young, well dressed, fighting-age males? Where are all the women and children? Why no elderly migrants? Wouldn’t they like to flee as well to save their own lives?
Things that make you go Hmmmmm......
A special commission in the northern German city of Braunschweig will investigate over 300 cases of fraud committed by asylum applicants, who gamed the welfare system by using multiple IDs to claim benefits – and that may just be the tip of the iceberg.
The estimated total loss of taxpayer money in the state of Lower Saxony alone has been put at three to five million euros ($3.2-5.3 million), Regional German broadcaster NDR reported.
In the majority of cases, the scheme was employed by Sudanese refugees who were applying for benefits within the social welfare system, the head of the newly established investigative commission, Joern Memenga, said, as cited by Deutsche Welle.
The scammers allegedly took advantage of the extreme workload the civil servants who were registering the applications were under in the summer of 2015, at the peak of the European migrant crisis.l
“At that point, we wanted to avoid one thing – homelessness,” Memenga said, adding that in some cases the same employees had registered more than one alias per applicant.
The welfare claimants would simply change their appearance to receive additional documents from unsuspecting social service workers. The not so sophisticated con met few road bumps, as the refugees did not have to give their fingerprints and, since they had no documents, were identified only from photographs.
“Sometimes just growing a beard, or putting on a pair of glasses, having shorter hair, but always different surnames,” Memenga said, as cited by DPA.
The system was also susceptible to rigging because the civil servants did not have time to sift through all of the applications processed at other municipalities in Lower Saxony, so the same asylum seeker could collect money from different places.
Eventually, one of the employees noticed that some of men in the photos look strikingly similar and sounded the alarm, reporting his suspicions to the police, regional broadcaster NRP, which broke the story, reported.
In one of the most extreme cases uncovered so far, one man was able to bamboozle the state to the tune of tens of thousands of euros using twelve fake identities. “Our crassest case has twelve alias-personalities. Damage: 45,000 euros, at least,” Memenga said, as cited by NRP.
Pursuant to the Asylum Seekers Act, every asylum seeker is entitled to €135 of so-called pocket money and €216 per month to cover basic needs, if the asylum seekers are not on complete state provision. “Excluding the cost of electricity, you reach about 320 to 350 euros per alias identity and person,” Memenga said. It is estimated that a ‘refugee’ with three to four identities could have drained an extra 5,000 to 10,000 euros from the state coffers.
Though the fraud has now been exposed, the suspects may not face charges due to legal difficulties, as in most cases they used fake names and addresses. “Without a place of residence, no legal hearing and no service of an accusation [is possible],” Julia Meyer of Braunschweig public prosecutor’s office told NRP. “By the time their cover is blown, they have mostly moved on already,” Meyaer added, as cited by DPA.

MIGRANTS kicked a one-year-old baby on a bus then attacked paramedics with BELTS as they tried to treat the infant. The shocking attack happened at approximately 9pm on Sunday night in Augsburg, one of Germany's oldest cities. Paramedics were called and arrived on the scene to help the injured but the men began attacking them with belts - not letting up until the police were called. (Excerpt) Read more at express.co.uk ...
Merkel may have saved the French dignity but not its bacon.
In a couple of decades, pork will be haram in all of Europe.
Can’t the Euroweenies send all the art in their museums to us for conservation?
>>Macron also slammed the critics of Merkel’s refugee policy, who claim that Islamic terror strikes in Berlin and elsewhere are a consequence of her opening doors to newcomers.
This argument is a “hideous oversimplification” he said.<<
The fact that it is ACCURATE just doesn’t work for these elitists who pretend everything is oh so complicated.
You can bet THIS yahoo doesn’t wander about the “no go” zones popping up all through Europe at night.
Typical suicidal libtard: “I get to sleep well at night knowing I am a Good Person” while ignoring the blood on their hands and deaths at their doors.
“Dignity” and your head in a bag on your way to getting some Muslim’s strike leaves you with your head in a bag and about to die.
Too long for a tagline. *sigh*
It's very hard to believe there are still Europeans and Americans who don't get it:
1 Muslims are taught to engage and kill infidels
2 By being nice to them, they don't want to kill any less than they did before
The Muslims only want one thing, submission and implementation of Sharia Law. They aren't going to be reasonable, they want you to convert or die, your choice.
The Muslims are sworn to overthrow our Constitutional Government, they have no allegiance to our government
Europe is about to find out the hard way that this is still an uncivilized world, and if a people become too civilized to do what’s necessary to survive in an uncivilized world, they’re not going to survive.
Europe is self-destructing due to this sort of idiocy.
Another European idiot checks in.
