(Breitbart) German police played down New Year’s Eve violence concerns, stating most arrests were of adult German males, but a leaked list of suspects suggests the truth may not be exactly as the authorities wished to portray.
Anxiety about migrant crime, and particularly on New Year’s Eve, has been heightened in Germany for years after the mass sex attacks in Cologne in 2016 and burnings in Berlin in 2023. Yet an apparent attempt to take the heat off migrant communities appears to have stumbled after a police list of suspects was leaked to a German “right-wing populist news portal.”
Analysis of the list of 256 first names of “German nationals” showed, Nius.de claims, that most people on it have names commonly associated with migrant communities. Only a minority have recognisably German names.
