Berlin reports a rise in attacks on refugees amid a surge in far-right crime.

Berlin has reported a marked increase in attacks on asylum seekers and refugee shelters, amid a sharp rise in far-right crime and a hardening of German migration policy.

Thirty-seven suspects in direct assaults on people were identified, 11 of whom were known to police. Authorities reported no concrete leads in the attacks on refugee shelters.

The department would eliminate a bureau overseeing #democracy & #HumanRights issues; one that handles #refugees & #migration; & another that works with international organizations. The under secretary position overseeing the first two bureaus would be cut. So would the office of the under secretary of public #diplomacy & public affairs.

The department would also get rid of the position of the special envoy for #climate.

Very cool, have a look 👇🏼

In der darauffolgenden Woche ereigneten sich zwei der bis dato größten Bootskatastrophen mit 400 & 850 Toten.
