Merkeli koduerakonnas kasvab rahulolematus.
The CSU, long a haven for frustrated conservatives from its bigger sister party, has declared itself the avant-garde of the resistance movement. CSU Chairman Horst Seehofer blatantly characterizes Chancellor Merkel's gesture of openness toward the refugees as a "serious mistake," and believes that Germany is in store for an "emergency situation it can no longer control." While the chancellor wants to encourage Germans to accept the challenge, Mr. Seehofer is becoming the leader of the skeptics.
Few people embody the CDU's dilemma as perfectly as Interior Minister Thomas de Maizière, who has shown signs of strain during his recent public appearances. Mr. De Maizière has known Chancellor Merkel since her days as deputy government spokesperson under his cousin, Lothar de Maizière, who served as head of the federal chancellery, interior minister and defense minister. Loyalty to Ms. Merkel is part of his basic political makeup. But the hairline cracks that her modernization program has created within the party now seem to have affected Mr. De Maizière. In internal discussion, he and his department were the ones who opposed a generous border policy, both for security reasons and because Mr. De Maizière believes that the resilience of German society is limited.
Luckily for the chancellor, she has no true adversary. No one has rebelled against Ms. Merkel in years. Younger politicians like David McAllister, Jens Spahn and Julia Klöckner are not rebels but political heirs. They address the question of what will come after Chancellor Merkel, because they know that it will be reality one day, and not because they want a completely different party. But they have developed a fine sense for the party's desires, which Ms. Merkel is not satisfying and does not wish to satisfy. This is why it is so interesting to hear what they are saying in the current refugee crisis. Mr. Spahn, now the state secretary in the Finance Ministry, is airing his concerns over the policies of the government he belongs to, and not just internally. In the public debate, "we now have nothing but extremes, the self-proclaimed absolutely good people and the badgering xenophobes, and there is nothing in-between," Mr. Spahn said.
Now her party, for the first time in years, must fear that it will not lose power in spite of Chancellor Merkel, but because of her.

Yesterday, the Mail reported how social workers and women’s groups in Giessen wrote a letter to the local state parliament claiming that rape and child abuse were rife in the refugee camp. The allegations were corroborated by Atif over his curry. ‘The camp is dangerous,’ he agreed. ‘Men of different nationalities fight and women are attacked.’
Many women have felt the need to sleep in their clothes... they won’t go to the toilet at night because rapes and assaults have taken place on their way to, or from, there.
The letter says the camp, far from being a peaceful haven for those fleeing war, is a dangerous melting-pot, where there have been ‘numerous rapes and sexual assaults, and forced prostitution’.
There are even reports of children being raped and subjected to sexual assault, it adds.
‘Many women have felt the need to sleep in their clothes... they won’t go to the toilet at night because rapes and assaults have taken place on their way to, or from, there. Even in daylight, a walk through the camp is fraught with fear.’
Controversially, the letter suggests that in the migrants’ culture, women are viewed differently: ‘It is a fact that women and children are unprotected. This situation is opportune for those men who already regard women as their inferiors and treat unaccompanied women as “fair game”.’
Many migrant women have fled here to escape forced marriages or female genital mutilation, which are rife in some African and Middle Eastern countries. ‘They believe they have found safety in Germany,’ says the letter, ‘and realise it’s not the case.’
At other camps among the 2,000 that have sprung up in Germany, I hear various lurid complaints about the arrivals, 80 per cent of whom are Muslim, single and male.
At a former U.S. military base housing some 2,000 migrants in Bayernkaserne, on the outskirts of Munich, women’s rights groups say there is forced prostitution and rape every day. Men, women and children sleep next to each other in tents and, according to one social worker interviewed on local TV, the camp is ‘the biggest brothel in the city’ where the price for sex with a female migrant is €10 (£7).
At yet another migrant camp in Detmold, a city in central Germany, a 13-year-old Muslim girl was raped by a fellow migrant. The child and her mother had fled to Europe to escape a ‘culture of sexual violence’ in their own country.
Astonishingly, police kept silent about the rape, which took place in June. Only this month, after a local newspaper revealed that it had happened — and claimed German authorities are not ‘going public’ about crimes involving migrants because they don’t want to ‘give legitimacy’ to critics of mass migration — did they confirm it had taken place.
The area’s police chief, Bernd Flake, insists the official silence was meant to protect the rape victim. But he adds: ‘We will continue this policy (of not informing the public) whenever crimes are committed in migrant facilities.’

Frontex noted there had been a threefold increase in Africans detected making illegal border crossings in the Western Balkans in the three months June to compared to the previous quarter. They included a nine-fold increase in Congolese, a six-fold rise in Cameroonians, and a four-fold rise in Ghanaians. In total it detected some 4,071 Africans out of 54 437 illegal border crossings.
The report goes on: “The increase in detected Africans in the Western Balkans could be partly explained by the expansion of Turkish Airlines connection network in Africa.”
