#GERMANY: Firestorm Over Mayor's Comments After 120+ Attacks On Women By Migrants

[world politics news]


Cologne mayor Henriette Reker is facing a firestorm of anger after suggesting that women approach strangers "at arm's length" after over 120 rapes and other sexual assaults against women during New Year's celebrations in her city. Reker seemed to excuse the violence by saying the migrants accused - Arabs from North Africa and Syria - may have misinterpreted the revelry as "sexual openness." Chancellor Angela Merkel faces a huge backlash over her open door policy to migrants.
