>amid recent increase of pool assaults by North African ‘youths’
>30 July 2019
German city of Düsseldorf in North Rhine-Westphalia has imposed a mandatory identification system to combat an increase in sexual assaults and riotous behavior among mostly North African migrant ‘youths’.
Düsseldorf Mayor Thomas Geisel (SPD) told reports from the Express, “In Rheinbad we have introduced an identity card for all visitors. Those who do not comply, will not be let in. It is absolutely unacceptable and inconceivable that families who want to spend their free time here are harassed by youth gangs.”
Following a crisis summit that was held on Saturday, another meeting between the city’s mayor, police chief, and the public pool’s administration has been planned for Monday. The plan is to establish an online ticket system for the Rheinbad so that the pool would be able to control who enters the pool more easily.
In the past weeks, months, and years even, the friendly and carefree atmosphere of German pools has been all but obliterated thanks to the behavior of migrants who hail from places which are culturally incompatible to Europe.
Last Friday, Düsseldorf police had to clear the outdoor pool because of the aggressive behavior of around 60 most North African migrant ‘youths’. The six security guards present at the pool were not up to the situation, reported the regional daily, the Rheinische Post. Around 20 policemen had to be called out to clear the pool area.
Previously, the migrants have occupied diving towers and slides, threatened pool staff and disobeyed warnings.
During the last weekend of June, the Rheinbad had to be evacuated on two consecutive days, after similar incidents had occurred.
