Recently, the town of Pirmasens (former shoemaker capitol of Germany and nowadays rather poor) was the first in Germany to reach an agreement with the state not to have to take in any more refugees.

Ah, can't say I'm surprised; let me guess--were there any reprisals?

In Austria, the City/State of Vienna will have early elections--the Social Democrats running the gov't have so thoroughly mis-managed finances that the one outcome you can be assured of will be: higher fees, taxes, etc.

Link to report isn't working; the error message says the link goes nowhere.

About migration: it's a "självändamål" - the thing itself is the point of the thing. Always was.

Look at that theater in France: they "can't" get rid of the Negro-gang occupying it.

"Can't". As if there are no riot police, no tear gas, no armoured vehicles, no bullets, clubs, et cetera.

Nope. They just "can't".

It is a weaponisation of whatever the opposite of Will is.

Thanks for letting me know about the link; I've fixed it (or click here):

As to the other point you raise: well, these are not 'our' governments, then, isn't it?
