Wurzen: Five Wounded In Clashes At The Asylum Accommodation in Dresdner Straße

In Wurzen, on Friday evening, two groups, young Germans and foreigners massively clashed. Two men were wounded gravely in this. Prior, allegedly, refugees were pursued and threatened. State Protection is investigating for a xenophobic background.

January 13., 2018

Wurzen/Leipzig. Five people were wounded Friday night in violent clashes at a residence inhabited by refugees in Wurzen, two of them gravely. According to police investigations, about 30 young Germans clashed with a smaller group of foreigners. Two of the Germans were gravely injured by knife stabs into the upper legs, police announce on Saturday. Additionally, three people in the asylum seeker accommodation in Dresdner Straße were lightly injured, said police spokesman Andreas Loepki to Leipziger Volkszeitung. Police currently cannot rule out a xenophobic background. Already last year, police had to intervene in clashes between asylum seekers and Germans.

After the attack, Germans storm refugee accommodation
The confrontations lasted for about an hour and triggered a large action by the police. 30 to 40 officers were in action from 10:40 PM on. From what is known from witnesses’ accounts at the moment, it all started with a verbal argument between the two groups at the park at the train station, followed by a chain of assaults. The asylum seekers withdrew into their residence in Dresdner Straße. „Subsequently, two Germans walked up to the residence, banged against the door, and damaged a glass“, reports Loepki.

A smaller number of refugees then chased the two Germans, but turned around when they found themselves facing a group of 30 persons. „Due to their appearance, the foreigners – pursued – went back to their accommodation, which shortly after was left by probably twelve inhabitants, armed with knives and clubs“, says Loepki. In the ensuing clash, two Germans suffered knife wounds in the upper thigh. A taser was used, too, apparently. Several Germans subsequently stormed the residence where further clashes occurred.

No arrests made
To part the rival groups, all patrol officers from Grimma precinct were summoned, and forces from Leipzig were called to Grimma. The officers asserted the identities of those involved on-site. There were no arrests made. It was still unclear who committed the attacks. This needs to be proven in each individual case, says Loepki. Witnesses are being questioned on that.

The cause of the clashes will hopefully be determined in the investigations, which have been opened for particularly severe breach of the peace of the land. State Protection, too, has become involved in the case. An extremist and racist background of the deeds is probed.

Already in June [2017], clashes between Germans and asylum seekers in Wurzen led to a large police action. Back then, approximately 100 persons had congregated on the town’s market square, and shouted slogans in front of a residence in Wenceslaigasse. Prior to that, residents of the house had physically attacked two locals*.

In June 2017 in Wurzen, two locals complained to five refugees who were playing loud music after midnight and disturbing the night’s peace. In response to that, the refugees attacked the men with wooden folding chairs, wounding them so badly that they needed treatment in the hospital. The next day, about 100 people gathered on the market square and “shouted slogans”. “Police prevent attack on asylum seekers in Wurzen”, Leipziger Volkszeitung, June 12, 2017.

The Trump Effect Is Coming To Austria – New Government Announces Program

Posted on by

Sebastian Kurz, ÖVP, will be Europe’s youngest leader, with 31 years. FPÖ-chief Heinz-Christian Strache (r.) will be vice-chancellor.

An original translation from Die Welt:

Austrian Government Program
Asylum seekers to hand over mobile phones and cash
Austria will adopt a new style with the new ÖVP-FPÖ government. This had been clear for quite a while. But what are the plans of the coalition under the new chancellor Kurz? The government program “For our Austria”, Für unser Österreich, details it.

After seven weeks of negotiations, ÖVP and FPÖ agreed on a 182 pages strong government program for the next five years. The coalition of conservatives and right-wing-populists declare their clear dedication for the EU.

The preface of the pact says: “A strong Austria, where we can seize the opportunities of the 21st century, can only exist in a strong Europe”. A fundament of solid politics was, among others, comprised of the basic principles of the European Union. The parties’ councils approved the pact late Friday evening unanimously.

But what exactly does “Together. For our Austria” say? Some of the points were already extracted on Saturday. But what do general statements like “stop illegal migration” and “speed up asylum proceedings” really mean? These are the most important of the planned measures.

Migration and refugees

– Whoever applies for asylum in Austria will have to hand over all of his cash at the application. The sum is to be used to cover the basic supply costs.

– Asylum seekers have to hand over their mobile phones to the authorities. These will analyse the phone data, to clarify identities (for example in social networks) and to verify the denoted travel route. The smart phones won’t be completely confiscated though.

– Quicker withdrawal of protection status at travels to the homeland.

– During the asylum procedure, asylum seekers will receive non-cash benefits only, no more cash.

– The doctoral obligation to confidentiality will be suspended, when illnesses of an asylum seeker are “relevant to the basic supply”.

– Refugee children will learn German in so-called bridge classes. Until now, they were integrated directly into the school system.

– The list of safe countries of origin will be expanded.

– The monetary benefit for asylants and subsidiary protected will be reduced to a base benefit of 365 Euro and a potential integration bonus of 155 Euro. Family benefits will be capped to 1,500 Euro.

Taxes

– The government will lower the tax burden in the next five years. The lowering of the wage- and income-tax will mean keeping more net from your gross.

– Especially families will be unburdened with a tax bonus. Among others, a tax bonus of 1,500 Euros per child and family is offered.

– The tax burden will be lowered towards 40 percent.

Security

– 2,100 additional police officers will be hired during the next five years.

– Citizenship will be “newly reshaped”, according to the coalition paper. It is now defined as the “completion of a successful process of integration”.

– Closing-down of Islamic kindergartens and Islamic private schools when they do not fulfil the legal requirements.

– The government intends a dramatic toughening of punishments for sex crimes. Particularly for assaults on women and children.

– Clubs that are financed by, for example, religious societies in foreign countries, will be consequently shut down. The club law will be reworked to plug loopholes.

Employment Law

– Employment Law will be eased to make the Austrian employment market more attractive for companies.

– More flexible working hours for employees.

– considering to enshrine Christmas and holiday benefits for employees in law.

– A minimum pension of 1,200 Euros for low-paid workers after 40 years on the job.

– More funding and more positions at universities, to counteract the exodus of young scientists.

Europe

– ÖVP and FPÖ want a definite termination of the EU accession negotiations with Turkey, and they are looking for “allies” for that. Instead, Vienna wants a “European-Turkish neighbor concept”.

– The government wants to promote better coordination of the EU member states in protecting the outer European borders.

– As long as this is not secured, the national borders will be secured by all measures.
