I have no idea if this is true or not, but I bet many people won’t believe it even if it’s true.
Western European governments have been in too many coverups (Rotherham, Cologne, torture in Paris) and are starting to reach to the old East European stage where many simply do not believe anything they say.

\And this was concealed from the people? Why???
Because of views like:
“I don’t care how many nice, hard-working family men there are in the refugee groups – we bring more Muslims here and this will start happening to us”
Therefore, Hide- Deny- And- Lie is the new policy of German and co. elites pushing for open borders.
I was especially impressed by the prosecutor’s response here:
\ “In other words, injuries described… may also have been caused by automatic weapons, by explosions or projections of nails and bolts that have resulted,” a prosecutor argued.
“Would those have put a man’s balls in in his own mouth?” asked one incredulous committee member.
“I do not have that information,” the prosecutor responded.

Saw this:
The US institute’s survey across European countries …
In eight of the ten countries surveyed, representing 80 percent of the European population, at least half of the public believe that “incoming refugees increase the likelihood of terrorism in their country”, the survey said.
…
In Germany – the largest EU economy, which last year took in the biggest number of migrants and refugees – 61 percent shared this concern, while 60 percent of Italians and 52 percent of British voiced the same fears.
Paradoxically, in France, a country hard hit by jihadist attacks in 2015, only 46 percent thought the danger of an attack had increased.
The view was held most strongly, by 76 percent of respondents, in Hungary and by 71 percent in Poland

Because Western European governments see their citizenry as a threat (so their first instinct is to try to cover up anything that will rile them up). It fails often enough that the citizenry is getting riled up anyway.
Muslim migrants and their descendents might be prone to sexual abuse of native women and occasionally blow themselves up along with a few dozen natives, but they don’t pose the existential threat to politicians that involved voters who might vote them out of office do.
This is all part of the puzzle on why the EU is hemorhaging support.

Germany passes historic law on refugee integration
…
The integration bill will provide subsidised courses to help newcomers settle down into new lives in Germany but will deny residence permits to those who fail to take up the offer of assistance.
“The acquisition of the language is also necessary for provisional right to remain,” the law notably states.

They should make it contingent not on taking the course but on passing a language test after finishing the course.

For ethnic Germans and their families from Kazakhstan, Central Asia, and Russia they had to pass the test before they could apply to “return” to Germany for many years. The 2005 legislation essentially reduced Spaetassiedler from the former USSR to a small trickle for a number of years until they liberalized the rules again to allow some elderly remainers to join their families in Germany.

But when women are attacked on the streets, it’s hard for them to feel superior.
Today I read something that stunned me:
\An 18-year-old who said she was raped at Cologne train station over the New Year reportedly discovered she was pregnant in the days that followed the attack.
…
Frauke Mahr from the Cologne Lobby for Young Women told the committee the woman’s story, which Ballerstädt said was a shock to himself and all those present.
Up until now other women had reported being forcibly penetrating by men with their fingers, which is also classified as rape under German law. But this was the first case known of which full sexual intercourse was forced upon a woman.
“Every political party inside the room was stunned because this is something new,” he said.

I am stunned that they were stunned. What were they thinking before? That penetration with fingers is not real rape and that the true red line (“real” rape) is off limits to the attackers with fingures?

“how market-states will achieve the complete elimination of terror”
They won’t. And not just because the complete elimination of terrorist activity is impossible in any system. The market state (as it is revealing itself so far) is not anything new – it’s pre-nation state feudalism and patronage. The elite will justify their rule…. by the fact that they are in charge. This is the de facto state of EU ideology at presen. It’s the direction that Russia has gone and now Turkey is following it.
There’s a possibility of it evolving into something new and exciting and not the intellectually stultifying ….. thing that it is now, but that requires engaged active minds and everything being pushed now by the market state is soma for the masses.
