An information request submitted by the populist-nationalist Alternative for Germany (AfD) has revealed that 71.3 percent of suspected violent criminals are foreigners, up from 67 percent in 2017, Junge Freiheit reports.
The report also notes that the proportion of suspects who have a migrant background isn’t entirely clear since many are processed as ’German’.
St. Georg and St. Pauli districts are regarded by police as high crime areas in Hamburg. Immigrants comprise 23.3 percent of the population in St. George, while 27.9 percent of St. Pauli’s population is composed of immigrants.
In response to the uptick in violent crimes committed by foreigners, a top AfD official in Hamburg’s state Parliament has urged the government to take action.
"The red-green senate must finally act. Delinquent aliens should be deported immediately to make Hamburg safer. It’s obvious that multiculturalism is serving as a forerunner of a society with a sense of violence," chairman of the AfD faction in Hamburg Parliament, Dirk Nockemann declared.
Nockemann’s words come just days after a scathing speech was delivered on the floor of the Bundestag by Alternative for Germany’s co-leader Alice Weidel, who slammed globalist lawmakers for ruining the country through their propagation of catastrophic migration policies.
