>Police analysis software to evaluate health data
"Palantir's Vera analytics software is already in use in Bavaria. The Federal Council is now calling for a short-term solution for the German police."
"The Federal Council is advocating for the rapid deployment of police analysis software throughout Germany. The "short-term central provision of a jointly operated data analysis platform" could "make an important contribution to effective threat prevention and law enforcement by enabling targeted data analysis," according to a resolution (PDF) of the Chamber of States dated March 21, 2025. There is a "continuing urgent security policy and technical need."
Job market
In the resolution, the federal states cite the attack on the Magdeburg Christmas market in December 2024 and the knife attack in Aschaffenburg in January 2025. In the "recent past," "people with mental health issues have often appeared as perpetrators of violent crimes." It further states: "In order to better detect and record such serious crimes, individual behavioral patterns and risks must be identified, analyzed, and assessed in a timely manner."
Linnemann calls for register for mentally ill people
To implement this, "a nationwide network of information between security, health, weapons, and, where appropriate, immigration authorities must be ensured." Legitimate security concerns must be balanced with data protection requirements. The Federal Council is calling for new legal bases for data exchange and analysis.
The inclusion of health data in such a database could be particularly problematic. CDU General Secretary Carsten Linnemann commented on Deutschlandfunk at the end of 2024: "We have created large grids for right-wing extremists, for Islamists, but obviously not for mentally ill violent offenders. And that is simply a major deficit in Germany."
Linnemann continued: "And there simply needs to be an exchange between the authorities, the security authorities, also with psychiatry, with psychotherapists, and much more. That is my lesson: it is not enough to create registers for right-wing extremists and Islamists; in the future, this should also apply to the mentally ill."
However, the justification for the Federal Council's resolution does not mention a new register. It specifically mentions only "admission procedures of professional organizations such as medical associations, the judiciary, or penal and correctional institutions." The inclusion of this data is intended to help assess the potential for violence of individuals.
Criticism from the Psychiatrists' Association
The establishment of a central registry was criticized, among others, by the German Society for Psychiatry and Psychotherapy, Psychosomatics and Neurology (DGPPN). "Only certain illnesses are associated with an increased risk of violent acts, and only under certain conditions and if those affected are untreated. A central registry of all people with a mental health diagnosis would not prevent violent acts," said DGPPN President Euphrosyne Gouzoulis-Mayfrank.
According to the DGPPN, such a registry would promote the stigmatization of mental illnesses and reduce the chances of effective treatment. "The best means of violence prevention is early, coordinated, and intensive treatment for people with mental illnesses who, if left untreated, pose a risk of violent acts," Gouzoulis-Mayfrank continued.
Vera already in operation in Bavaria
The Federal Council also envisions making the Vera analysis software from the US provider Palantir, which is already in use in several countries, available as widely as possible. The Federal Government is called upon to "promptly provide a centrally operated, digitally sovereign, economically viable, and legally permissible automated data analysis platform for all federal and state police forces."
According to a report by Heise.de, Palantir's cross-procedure research and analysis platform (Vera) has been in live operation in Bavaria since December 25, 2024. The software could be used by police throughout Germany through an already concluded framework agreement. Vera's pilot operation ran from September 2, 2024, to December 24, 2024.
According to the Bavarian State Criminal Police Office, VERA will be used in cases of serious and extremely serious crime to prevent potential further offenses. Examples include organized drug trafficking, telephone fraud gangs, terrorist attacks, sexual offenses, and child pornography. VERA will access millions of data sets from all areas of the Bavarian police force, allowing investigators to search and analyze them.

>Helping people made difficult
-For more than ten years, "Moabit Helps" has been stepping in where the authorities fail. Now it's threatened with closure because the state of Berlin has terminated its lease.
Berlin taz | When tens of thousands of asylum seekers came to Berlin in the summer of 2015 and the authorities proved incapable of providing them with adequate care, the association "Moabit hilft" (Moabit Helps) stepped in and became known nationwide. While the deficiencies in the accommodation provided by the then-responsible State Office for Health and Social Affairs (Lageso) in Moabit caused ever new scandals, hundreds of volunteers stepped in daily to provide the people in need with the bare necessities.
Ten years later, the initiative is still in Moabit, having been based in a low-rise urban building on Turmstrasse since 2018. To this day, more than 60 people in need are cared for daily by around 85 volunteers in the bright and friendly, yet improvised-looking building, Ronja Lange, one of the association's three full-time employees, tells taz.
There's a clothing store and a warehouse for clothing donations, a large consultation room, two offices, and a tea kitchen. Not only refugees, but also the homeless and other socially disadvantaged people come here. "We try to help everyone," says Lange. The association, which receives no government funding, does work "that should actually be secured by government structures," the initiative describes itself.
"We advise people on social and asylum-related issues, support them with administrative procedures, offer language mediation, and distribute donations in kind," says Lange. However, the association is more than just a low-threshold and unbureaucratic contact point for those seeking help. Furthermore, it repeatedly draws attention to grievances that affect socially disadvantaged people – most recently, for example, the discriminatory payment card for refugees.
No new tenant in sight yet
But that could soon be over. The lease for the "Moabit hilft" premises was terminated effective June 1. The building belongs to the State of Berlin and is managed by the state-owned Berliner Immobilienmanagement GmbH (BIM). The company is responsible for the leasing and sale of state-owned properties and reports to the Senate Department for Finance.
The association took over the dilapidated building in 2018 and renovated it independently, Lange explains. Before that, it was used to store files. The aid organization had actually hoped for a long-term perspective. "But BIM never made us an offer that went beyond June 2025," the volunteer criticizes.
BIM rejects the demand for a longer-term contract "because the space cannot be blocked for years for state-owned users," a spokesperson told taz in response to an inquiry. There has been no lease since 2020; instead, what BIM calls a "tacit contract" was terminated at the beginning of the year, effective June 1. Although "there is currently no concrete subsequent user," files could soon be stored there again.
The association is stunned and refuses to accept this. "We will not move," explains Diana Henniges, founder of "Moabit hilft." "We demand a dialogue on equal terms with the BIM." The BIM must explain "clearly and transparently" why it is now evicting the association, even though it hasn't yet found a new tenant. "We want to make it clear that civil society organizations like ours shouldn't always be dismissed as a nuisance."
Important voice against grievances
The lack of appreciation for their largely voluntary work is troubling the helpers. They've felt unwanted from the start, say Hennige and Lange. "This current situation is the culmination of eleven years of taking work off the Senate's hands and helping people who would otherwise have ended up who knows where," criticizes Lange. "We're no longer willing to present ourselves as supplicants to the Senate," says Henniges combatively. "We're truly fed up."
The two women report numerous cases of government failure, delays, lack of planning, and incompetence. The system is completely overwhelmed, says Henniges. "This is also due to the severe cuts to the social welfare system in recent years." The association is countering this with years of networking efforts – with people and initiatives that are willing to do something for the city's poorest.
This hasn't just won them friends in politics and administration. "We're well-known. Especially because we speak very clearly about the grievances," says founder Henniges proudly.
Everything is now at stake: "If the city doesn't want this, if they say we'd rather store files here—then we're out. And we won't move anywhere else; we don't have the capacity, neither financially nor physically," Henniges clarifies.
Petition calls for withdrawal of dismissal
The power struggle between the state and the districts is particularly grueling for the volunteers. "We're the ball, and they're playing ping-pong with us," Lange sums it up. "And we're stuck in the middle, thinking: We just want to help people who have no other contact in this city."
They would prefer it if the city fulfilled its responsibilities toward citizens in need. "Our charter states: When people no longer need us, we'll stop," Lange said. But that's not the case. "In many ways, this city can no longer do what it's supposed to do. Namely, care for the poorest people," Henniges said.
Therefore, "Moabit Helps" intends to continue and now sees the Finance Senator as the next step. The association hopes that with enough public pressure, they can remain in their premises. A petition launched Friday demanding the reversal of the termination had been signed by more than 1,700 people by Sunday afternoon.
"Our town is a place for everyone," says Henniges. "There aren't that many of them left. If we weren't there anymore, it would be a bitter loss for this city."

>Camp on Samos: Detention for children, paid for by Switzerland
-Hundreds of refugee minors are being held on the Greek holiday island under conditions that violate human rights. The camp is funded by the federal government. Now the European Court of Human Rights has intervened.
Samos is popular. It's almost always summer here, with average temperatures of almost 20 degrees Celsius. Nearly 150,000 tourists come every year for the warmth, the beaches, and the pretty towns. British, German, and Swiss tourists, many of them all-inclusive. Direct flights, hotels, and full board are available for just a few hundred francs.
In the east of the Greek island – away from the tourist areas and hidden in a hilly landscape – there is a camp that doesn't quite fit in with the idyllic setting. It's about five kilometers from the nearest town and about ten from the nearest beach. High wire fences seal off the area, and the entrance and exit are guarded around the clock. It's a camp for refugees. Officially called a Closed Controlled Access Center, it includes a safe area for minors who are fleeing alone.
Anwar is one of them. "To be honest," he says, "fifteen days ago I tried to kill myself. I thought it would be better for me."
The 17-year-old is from Egypt and his real name is different. It's Monday, March 3, when he tells Die Republik about his suicide attempt on the phone. He tells how he's living in the camp. Suffering. And doesn't want to live anymore. "My friends saved me at the last moment," he says. He was then taken to the hospital for treatment of his neck wounds, then to a police station, where the officer told him: "If I see you here again, I'll make sure you go to prison for six months."
The police officer's threat fell on deaf ears. After all, Anwar had already been in prison for 78 days at this point. That's what he calls the safe area in the refugee camp. And he says: "I'm not used to being treated like a prisoner."
He, who has long suffered from diabetes, became not only mentally but also physically ill in the "safe zone" of the camp. He suffers from fever, chickenpox, and scabies. Almost all the young people here have scabies, he says, yet no doctor cares for them. Not even him. "After my suicide attempt, I asked for an appointment with a psychologist," Anwar says. "But when she finally came to the camp, she simply said she didn't have an appointment for me. That was the only time the psychologist was there."
The millions of Switzerland
The refugee camp, in operation since 2021, is part of the logic of Europe's future asylum policy. Samos lies on the external border of the European Union, barely two kilometers from the Turkish coast at its narrowest point. As a result, an above-average number of asylum seekers are stranded here. Greek border police intercept them, prevent them from continuing their journey to the European mainland, and bring them to the camp. Initial asylum applications are already being assessed here in fast-track procedures – usually with negative results.These applicants face immediate deportation. This is what Europe's future asylum policy envisages.
The camp on Samos has residential containers with nearly 4,000 spaces, divided into areas for refugee men, women, families, and unaccompanied children and young people. 100 spaces for boys and young men, 100 spaces for girls and young women – the "safe area."
What's special about it: The operation of the safe area is financed by Switzerland. As part of its "second contribution to selected EU member states," it also contributes to facilities for migrants at the EU's external border. Specifically, it is paying just over CHF 4 million for the operation of the safe areas on Samos and three other Greek islands for 16 months.
The federal government is clearly convinced of these "safe areas" and their benefits. "The children arriving on the Greek border islands are in a particularly precarious situation," writes the Federal Department of Foreign Affairs on its website about the Safe Areas. "Many of them have been victims of human trafficking, abuse, exploitation, and violence, making them particularly vulnerable. Therefore, these children require immediate and comprehensive care, protection, and access to a range of basic services." Therefore, each safe area is "staffed by a team of multidisciplinary professionals, including social workers, psychologists, legal advisors, interpreters, and counselors."
But the reality is different.
At least, that's what five young people say who were locked up in the safe area of Samos for weeks and with whom the Republic had a long phone conversation. One of them is Anwar, the other four are
between 15 and 17 years old and, according to their own statements, were in the camp for 112 to 125 days.
Under Greek law, 25 days would be permitted. But even these 25 days are controversial: According to the human rights organization Amnesty International, the European Commission had already criticized the relevant Greek law in January 2023, saying it might contradict EU law. Nevertheless, it remains in force to this day.
25 euros for a bed, 10 euros for Nutella
Tari (who actually has a different name) is one of the four young people. "We're not allowed to leave the camp," he said on February 26 by phone with Die Republik; he'd been in the safe area for 100 days. There's a shortage of everything: food, beds, and doctors. "At the beginning, there were about 600 young people living here," the 17-year-old explains. "There simply weren't enough beds, which is why I had to sleep on the floor for days." When individual young people were then transferred to other camps, they sold their beds. "I paid 25 euros for my bed."
In general, you have to pay for everything in the camp: beds, blankets, and special food. €25 for a bed, €5 for a blanket (which you pay for youths being relocated), €10 for Nutella, €5 for cookies (which go to adults who bring food from other parts of the camp to the safe area). The black market is flourishing.
Like Anwar, Tari also complains about illnesses and the lack of medical care in the camp. He has pimples and blisters all over his body, itches day and night, and can barely sleep. But nobody cares. "In the 100 days he spent in the safe area, I only saw a doctor once." He prescribed medication for scabies. "But I never received the medication."
Finally, the young man from Egypt describes an incident in which a guard violently assaulted him. "I was waiting in line for food," he says. The young men pushed each other until a guard picked him out and took him to a separate room. "There he hit me," says Tari. When he later reported this to the Safe Area officials, they simply ignored it. "Nothing happened."
Violation of human rights
A safe area that's actually a prison. A prison where minors are locked up for weeks at a time. Minors who are left to fend for themselves and without the legal guardians they're entitled to.
The oldest of the minors are 17 years old, the youngest are under 10 years old—still children. This is according to an internal report from the State Secretariat for Migration, which the Republic obtained through a public request.
The "safe area" is repeatedly overcrowded; then, instead of the intended 200 unaccompanied minors (as they are called in official language), more than twice as many children and adolescents are housed there. Due to the miserable hygienic conditions, infectious diseases regularly run rampant. There is a lack of medical care, healthy food, employment programs, and training opportunities are not to be missed.
However, young people report violent attacks, whether by other young people or by guards.
Not all of the statements the five teenagers made to the Republic can be fully verified. However, the photos and videos they sent to the editorial team, which certainly originate from the safe area, confirm most of them. However, for privacy reasons, the Republic has decided to publish only a small portion of them.
Moreover, their accounts largely coincide with those of four other young people who were locked up in the Samos Safe Area for weeks. They also speak of overcrowding, illness and a lack of medical care, violent attacks, and guardians who mostly exist only on paper—and of the fact that the Safe Area is, in reality, a prison.
These four young people, aged between 15 and 17, managed to contact lawyers from the Greek non-governmental organization Human Rights Legal Project from the safe area. On January 23, 2025, the lawyers filed a lawsuit on their behalf with the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg. They argued that the conditions in the Samos safe area violated the fundamental rights of minors, specifically the right to liberty and security, and the prohibition of torture. Both are enshrined in the European Convention on Human Rights.
Shortly afterwards, on February 5, 2025, the European Court of Human Rights issued a remarkable ruling based on the complaint: It issued a "precautionary measure" and called on the Greek government to immediately provide all four plaintiffs with "adequate food, water, clothing and medical assistance", "to guarantee their protection from ill-treatment" and "to ensure their prompt transfer to another accommodation facility for unaccompanied minors".
In other words, the court recognized that the conditions in the Samos refugee camp violate the fundamental rights of minors.
Just two weeks after the European Court of Human Rights, a Greek administrative court ruled on another complaint by a minor from the Samos camp. This ruling is also noteworthy. The court found that the Safe Area was, in fact, a prison. This was demonstrated by the fact that the victim, a 16-year-old from Egypt.
He was locked in the camp for 64 days and was not allowed to leave except for two doctor's visits.

Nein, ich meinte schon das. Denn es ging darum, dass sie eigentlich genau die Zivilisten von den Islamisten unterscheiden könnten, wiel kein Raum so gut überwacht ist, wie der Gazastreifen und es deshalb besonders kriminell sei, so viel zu töten. Sowas war es und da wurde eben auch diese Open AI benannt.

Hello everyone, I would like to introduce myself very briefly. I'm an anarchist, actually I've been one since I can remember. I'm older, really old for an anarchist, and not new to Masto. I think times are really bad for all of us, but it's even worse when we feel like we're alone in all this. Because of severe chron. Illness, it doesn't work so well with barricades anymore. What I wish for is exchange and contact with other anarchists so that I can endure the bourgeoisie as long as it exists. Thank you.
Please no Hammer and Sickle fans and no fans of the state system, I'll burn them. Thank you.

#Germany
#Violence
#Munich
#Bavaria
In an increasingly broken world with so many broken people, terrible things like this are happening more and more often. The cause is a system that is hostile to life and its consequences. Despair and hatred seek their victims just as much as the destruction of the environment.
In Munich today, a migrant from Afghanistan drove into a demonstration at a trade union event.
He was to be deported. 28 people, including children, were seriously injured. He probably also had drug problems. That's very bad and every time I think, not again.
But the agitators, including the politicians who are now coming back with their racist garbage, forget that migrants are always affected by these acts of violence. Especially at a demonstration by the Verdi trade union, which is responsible for service professions where a particularly large number of migrants work.
So just keep your brown, dirty mouth shut.
Good and full recovery to all those injured!💔
