 THE TENSIONS RUN HIGHER IN GERMANY: 'RACIST POEM', POLLS, ELECTIONS, MERKEL CRACKDOWN


"He arrived in our hallowed German land.   Because he can't get a lady, he        helped himself to one with a knife"


The "Racist" Poem of 14-year old Ida Marie Muller at a poetry competition for an 'anti-racism initiative' in Speyer, Germany


The poetry of a 14-year old girl who is the daughter of an Alternative for Germany politician got the loudest applause at a recent poetry competition in the southwestern German town of Speyer.

But Muller's poetry was disqualified and members of the audience jeered when another contestant was declared the winner.  She was banned from the award ceremony to boot.

Her mother shared pictures on social media of the outside of her house sprayed with leftist graffiti noting that "Modern Nazis smear other people's houses".

And the latest polling data shows even lower numbers for Angela Merkel's Christian Democrat Union-Christian Social Union coalition and their partners in government, the Social Democrats.

And the anti-mass immigration Alternative for Germany rises in those polls ever so slightly higher into a second place position among German political parties as averaged in all polls.

One poll taken September 28th-October 1st by INSA places parties this way:

CDU-CSU             26 percent
AfD                       18.5 percent
Social Democrats  16 percent
Greens                   14.5 percent
Left                        11.5 percent
Free Democrats     10 percent

Perhaps to distract from all the migrant crime or just to crack down on dissent and blunt the AfD's rise six men were arrested by German police in early Monday morning raids (October 1st) for allegedly being part of a "far-right group" attacking migrants after the murder of a German with migrant suspects in Chemnitz.

Additional arrests have been made (the total is now eight) in a case described as a conspiracy to form "a right-wing terrorist organization".   The group is accused of plotting to attack government officials on Wednesday October 3rd.

On Sunday October 14th the state election in Bavaria will be a critical barometer of the health of the sister party of Merkel's CDU, the Chrsitian Social Union (CSU).   In the last state election (2014) they received 47.7 percent of the vote and 101 of 180 seats in the state parliament.

Over the summer CSU 's national leader Interior Minister Horst Seehofer engaged in a controversy that AfD parliamentary leader Alice Weidel suggested was contrived over toughening immigrant-migrant entry which inevitably comes through the southern border state of Bavaria.

The CSU state premier Markus Soder has also tried to put on a "Republican Party" traditionalist show by enacting a policy of displaying crosses in public places ("Kreuzempflicht")

Now polls show a big drop in support for the CSU with a rise in support for the AfD, threatening the majority currently held by the CSU.

The CSU seems mired at around 35 percent of the popular vote right now and will fall short of a majority in the state parliament if those numbers hold.

The migrant crisis driving the current situation in Germany is not just a matter of the  German government's decision to let them enter the country.   It is also the decision of the German government and other Western governments including the UK and the US to back the jihadist forces involved in the wars in Syria and Libya that started in 2011, triggering the flow of migrants to Europe.
