A casual snapshot with a prominent Alternative for Germany (AfD) politician has ignited a massive political firestorm in a small German town, leaving four volunteer firefighters facing potential expulsion from service.
The controversy centers on the market square of Egeln – a town of 3,000 residents in Saxony-Anhalt – where local volunteers chose to pose for a photograph with AfD lead candidate, Ulrich Siegmund.
For those readers unfamiliar with Siegmund, he is arguably public enemy number one in the country at the moment. With upcoming state elections in Saxony-Anhalt, much is at stake, with Siegmund’s AfD party is close to capturing an absolute majority of the vote. Due to the popularity of Siegmund in the state, Spiegel Magazine has now famously released a cover featuring the AfD politician while labeling him the “most dangerous man in Germany.” In the article, which describes Siegmund as good looking, polished, and excellent at connecting with voters, his photo is presented as if it were a police mugshot.
The magazine article comes almost at the same time as the incident with the firefighters, which was captured on video last week by “Weichreite TV.” According to the video footage, an active fire truck pulled up near an AfD information booth. The crew, still wearing portions of their official fire department uniforms, approached the politician.
The interaction began cordially, with Siegmund greeting the emergency responders warmly. Shaking their hands, the politician remarked, “Boys, call it a day, you deserve it. Thank you for your efforts.” Seeking to connect further, Siegmund later asked, “Is there anything else I can do for you?”
One of the volunteers responded, “We just wanted to take a look, we wanted to meet in person.”
The group then gathered in front of their department vehicle to take a commemorative photo with the AfD candidate.
Egeln’s long-standing mayor, Michael Stöhr, reacted with fury. The fact that Siegmund’s party is polling at 43 percent, which means nearly half of all voters support him, did not stop the enraged mayor from threatened to fire volunteer firefighters – a move that could leave his community vulnerable during peak wildfire season.
In a detailed, sharply worded Facebook statement, the independent politician expressed that he was “stunned” by the crew’s actions, arguing that their conduct inflicted “enormous damage” on the reputation of the volunteer fire service.
“As mayor of the municipality and head of the volunteer fire department, I expressly clarify that such behavior by members of our volunteer fire department in the line of duty cannot be tolerated,” Stöhr wrote. He further announced his intention to “evaluate the action internally and of course draw appropriate consequences.”
He even implied that taking a photograph with one politician could mean their political alignment could compromise their impartiality during emergency operations. Thus, he is implying these firefighters may refuse to put out a fire simply because they posed with an AfD politician.
“Our population must be able to rely on our fire department to provide assistance in an emergency, regardless of political opinion, religion, or origin. Should this be even remotely questioned by members of the volunteer fire department, then they have no business being in the fire department anymore.” Stöhr claimed.
Concluding his public statement, Stöhr stated that he could only “therefore, explicitly apologize to all volunteer helpers in the fire departments,” while stating “that something like this will not happen again in our local fire brigades of the Egelner Mulde municipality.”
Mayor’s reaction is slammed on social media
The mayor’s strict disciplinary stance has triggered an intense wave of public criticism. Rather than garnering widespread community support, the Facebook post quickly became a lightning rod for controversy, accumulating nearly 8,500 comments.
The vast majority of online users expressed deep shock over how the volunteer first responders were being publicly treated by local leadership. In the wake of the uproar, several commentators have begun demanding the resignation of Mayor Stöhr, who has held his office for 16 years.
A teenage girl is in critical condition after a boat carrying ten illegal migrants struck her off Su Giudeu beach in Chia, Italy, yesterday afternoon. The boat was transporting migrants from North Africa.
The victim sustained severe injuries, including fractures and lacerations, after being caught by the boat’s propeller. The injuries led her to lose consciousness, but she was rescued by lifeguards before she could drown. Once they could drag her to shore, they began to administer first aid.
The horrifying incident happened at approximately 4:30 p.m. in the bathing area in front of Su Giudeu beach where the 118 air ambulance landed, according to TGR.
Due to the severity of her injuries, emergency medical personnel intubated the young woman on-site. She was then airlifted via air ambulance to Brotzu Hospital in Cagliari, where she was admitted in critical condition.
While it remains unclear exactly how the young woman became trapped by the engine propeller, boats carrying undocumented migrants have increasingly appeared directly on popular swimming beaches across Europe over recent years. Often, these vessels offload their passengers right in front of shocked beachgoers.
The risk of a serious accident during these landings is high. Smugglers are often desperate to quickly unload their cargo and escape, creating high-tension situations where they fail to notice swimmers. Additionally, after grueling journeys at sea, the arriving passengers are frequently eager to scramble ashore as fast as possible.

A 108-year-old woman was sexually assaulted and robbed in the French city of Lyon on Aug. 7, 2026, in the Villeurbanne suburb of the city.
Around 10:30 a.m., a home caregiver arrived at the 108-year-old woman’s apartment to provide care. The caregiver found the elderly woman partially naked, in a state of shock, and sitting on her sofa. The victim was unable to explain what had happened. Reports note that, given her age and condition, she was a priori not able to undress herself alone.
Emergency services were alerted about the woman’s condition. She was taken to the hospital for examination and medical analyses, according to French news outlet CNews.
Investigators determined that a burglary had taken place. Several individuals allegedly forced open a kitchen window to enter the apartment. Several rooms were searched and ransacked, and bottles of perfume were stolen.
The Lyon prosecutor’s office opened an investigation for burglary by breaking and entering and sexual assault. The sexual assault qualification was retained specifically “given her state of nudity at the time of discovery.” No other details were provided about the woman’s condition.
There have been no announced arrests or identifications of suspects, who remain on the run.
No specific descriptions of the perpetrators, additional stolen items, forensic results, or precise circumstances of the undressing beyond the initial findings have been made public. The investigation is ongoing.
A police union spokesperson, Benjamin Camboulives of Alternative Police (CFDT), commented publicly that “the delinquents no longer have any limits,” but this added no new factual information about the case itself.
The latest poll shows that the current ruling coalition would lose power. The shape of the parliamentary majority would be decided by Grzegorz Braun, according to the latest poll from National Research Group.
“This is what it looks like here in August in the OGB study. So much has changed that almost nothing has changed. October 15 coalition without a majority, everything is decided by Braun. Support for Morawiecki’s party as in April, i.e. 5-6 percent. and all this is PiS voters,” pointed out the head of the polling firm, Łukasz Pawłowski.
The leader in the OGB ranking remains the Civic Coalition, which can count on 33.5 percent support, a decrease of as much as 5.4 percentage points. PiS is second in the poll with 22.3 percent, a decrease of 4.7 percentage points.
The right-wing Confederation can count on 15.8 percent. support, an increase of 4.1 percentage points. The party of Grzegorz Braun, Confederation of the Polish Crown, records 10.5 percent, an increase of 1.2 percentage points.
The New Left would also be included in the Sejm with support of 5.99 percent. (an increase of 0.8 percentage points) and Rozwój Plus. If former Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki had founded the party and run independently in the elections, he would have had a chance of winning 5.49 percent. support.
The Razem party (3.6 percent), PSL (1.7 percent) and Polska 2050 (0.9 percent) would fall below the electoral threshold.
Tak to wygląda u nas w sierpniu w badaniu @OGB_PL Tyle się zmieniło, by nie zmieniło się prawie nic. K15X bez większości, o wszystkim decyduje Braun. Poparcie dla partii Morawieckiego jak w kwietniu czyli 5-6% i to wszystko wyborcy PiS
If the poll support were translated into seats in the Sejm, the Civic Coalition would obtain 185 seats, Law and Justice 126, Confederation 79, Confederation of the Polish Crown 49, New Left 13, and Rozwój Plus eight.
This means that the current ruling coalition would not maintain power. Donald Tusk’s KO party and New Left would have a total of only 198 seats. For the right wing to take power, an alliance between Law and Justice would be needed not only with the Confederation of Sławomir Mentzen and Krzysztof Bosak, but also with Grzegorz Braun’s group. Such a majority would have 254 votes, and together with Mateusz Morawiecki’s formation, it would jump to 262.
There have been some calls to ban Braun’s party, but such a move would face high legal hurdles. Given its polling numbers, such an outcome seems unlikely. However, PiS has indicated they would refuse an alliance with the party, raising questions about how sincere that promise would be should Braun’s party remain the only path to political power.
The OGB survey was conducted between Aug. 5 and 12 based on 1,000 respondents.
France is facing a female genital mutilation (FGM) crisis brought on by mass immigration, warns Mathilda Silva of Collectif Némésis, and in those neighborhoods with the most diversity, the most women are facing the consequences of this brutal practice.
“This morning, I saw a graphic from an association that is absolutely revolting, in which it was written that 1 in 10 women in Seine-Saint-Denis is a victim of female genital mutilation. I don’t know if we realize this madness,” said Silva.
France's female genital mutilation (FGM) crisis is a crisis of mass immigration.
In the most multicultural district of Paris, locals even take their daughters on vacation to their home country to partake in the barbaric practice.
Official data from the MSF-PREVAL pilot study, conducted in 2021 across health facilities and reported by Santé publique France, places the figure at approximately 7.2 percent among women aged 18 to 45 in the Seine-Saint-Denis department—roughly one in 14. This equates to an estimated 22,500 adult women. However, the study indicates that the upper bounds of this number could reach as high as 10 percent, which far exceeding rates in other French departments – around 1 percent in the Rhône and under 1 percent in the Alpes-Maritimes.
Nationally, estimates range from 125,000 to about 139,000 women living with the consequences of FGM.
Silva details that the practice is illegal in France but residents have a way of circumventing this restriction by traveling back to their home countries.
“The process for this is always about the same: parents take their young girl on vacation to their country of origin. So the countries that practice this the most are Sub-Saharan African countries. How strange. And in fact, when the little girls come back, well, they have undergone mutilation,” she warned.
Research confirms that high-risk country origins in Seine-Saint-Denis center on African countries such as Mali, Côte d’Ivoire, Senegal, and Guinea. About 24 percent of women surveyed in the department came from such countries, and among them the prevalence reached around 30 percent. Risk drops sharply for those born in France after the mid-1990s, yet cases persist of girls raised in France being taken abroad during holidays for the procedure.
French law is unambiguous. Female genital mutilation is illegal, classified as a serious crime. Silva underscores the human cost.
“I obviously remind you that female genital mutilation is completely illegal in France, that it is an abominable torture, that it is often performed under absolutely deplorable hygienic conditions, that there are women who lose their lives, and above all, these women are traumatized for the rest of their lives by what they experienced.”
Medical literature and survivor accounts detail immediate dangers—severe bleeding, infection, shock—and lifelong effects including chronic pain, complications in childbirth, sexual dysfunction, and profound psychological trauma. Specialized units, such as the one established in 2017 at the André-Grégoire hospital in Montreuil, now provide reconstructive surgery, psychological support, and sexological care to hundreds of women each year. Local maternity data from the same hospital has recorded FGM in about 13 percent of births.
Silva reserves particular criticism for local leadership. “And it’s funny because the mayor of Saint-Denis –so, the largest city in Seine-Saint-Denis – Bally Bagayoko, who has been omnipresent in the media since his election, hasn’t had a single word for these mutilated girls. Yet, this is something that particularly affects his city. I haven’t seen him working with local grassroots organizations, I haven’t seen him run any prevention campaigns.”
Bagayoko, elected mayor of the newly enlarged Saint-Denis in March 2026 under the far-left La France Insoumise-led list, has indeed drawn attention for his controversial stances.
Public records show no prominent statements or dedicated campaigns from the new municipal team specifically targeting FGM prevention in the months following the election. Seine-Saint-Denis, with its significant population originating from high-prevalence regions, remains the clear epicenter within France.
“We are talking about torture inflicted on tens of thousands of women and children, so maybe it’s time to take action,” Silva stated.
A massive influx of migrants into Spain’s Ceuta has pushed the autonomous city’s healthcare infrastructure to the brink of collapse, prompting urgent warnings from medical professionals and triggering a fierce political battle in Madrid over who should foot the bill.
With an estimated 8,000 to 10,000 migrants still remaining in an enclave of just 80,000 residents and 19 square kilometers, local resources are severely overstretched, leaving health services struggling to contain potential infectious disease outbreaks.
These health services are also dealing with cases of rape, physical assaults, and other injuries associated with the massive influx of migrants. Meanwhile, locals say the beaches are occupied by migrants, leading to sprawling tent camps, feces, urine, and the spread of infectious diseases during a critical holiday beach season.
Ceuta beaches are completely occupied by migrants, according to locals.
"We can't take our kids to the beach, we can't go. They are occupied, they are full of shacks, people are eating there, throwing food, it's full of clothes, feces, urine."
Medical staff on the front lines describe a system operating under extreme uncertainty. At Ceuta University Hospital, officials have opened a specialized 30-bed emergency wing intended for disaster scenarios. Many of these beds are occupied not out of acute medical necessity, but because doctors cannot safely release vulnerable patients onto the streets. As sources at the facility explained, “admission responds to the impossibility of discharging patients and sending them back to the streets.”
The pressure extends far beyond hospital walls into improvised encampments, such as the one at Trampolín beach. Julián Domínguez, president of the Association for the Defense of Public Health of Ceuta, highlighted the immense logistical challenge of providing street-level care to thousands of unsheltered people.
“The lack of hygienic spaces and isolation areas makes monitoring and controlling communicable conditions particularly difficult,” he said.
Medical personnel are already identifying cases of concern, including scabies, tuberculosis, and unexplained fevers. Speaking on the news program En boca de todos, a Ceuta emergency physician warned that conditions are rapidly shifting:
“Scabies is not a disease that has been eradicated, but there were very few cases, which are currently increasing,” said the doctor.
#ÚLTIMAHORA | Alerta en Ceuta por posible riesgo de sarna y tuberculosis: "Muchos inmigrantes vienen con fiebre".
¿Infravalora Mónica García el riesgo de enfermedades? Te leemos en #EnBocaDeTodos.
Addressing the risk of other contagious illnesses, the doctor added: “There are still patients with tuberculosis from time to time, but we really don’t know if there will be many more with the massive entry of immigrants to Ceuta… We are having fever infections without focus, many immigrant patients who do not know exactly what the cause of the infection.”
Vox party demands Morocco foot the bill
The escalating medical emergency has sparked a fierce response from the anti-immigration Vox party. The party, led by Santiago Abascal, registered initiatives in congress demanding that the Spanish government guarantee the operational capacity of the National Institute of Health Management (INGESA) and take decisive legal steps against Morocco.
Vox argues that Spanish citizens should not carry the financial burden of what it terms a “migratory invasion,” insisting that Morocco must pay for the consequences that “its act of aggression has caused Spain.”
JUST IN: A Spanish woman says she has only her dog to protect her on the streets of Ceuta after a mass migrant invasion.
"She is the only one who protects me! Because there are no military, no police on the street. We are terrified!"
In its congressional filings, Vox demanded that the central government “conduct a rigorous audit of all expenses arising from the crisis and subsequently demand your refund from Morocco.”
The proposed audit would cover all extraordinary expenditures, including security deployments by the Armed Forces, National Police, and Civil Guard; emergency rescue operations; direct healthcare and pharmaceutical costs; temporary housing; and infrastructure damage.
Echoing warnings from the Official College of Physicians of Ceuta, which characterized the situation as a “healthcare catastrophe,” Vox pointed to documented cases of tuberculosis as evidence that recent events “put the public health of Ceuta residents at risk.”
A young Spanish woman is fleeing Ceuta because she no longer feels safe.
"I don't want to feel anxious every time I step outside… It seems awful to me that all this is allowed to happen and nobody can close the border or do anything."
To resolve the staffing shortages hindering the medical response, Vox called for the immediate application of incentives for health personnel positions in Ceuta and Melilla that are notoriously difficult to cover. Above all, the party insists on diplomatic and economic pressure to ensure Rabat reimburses all accrued costs, “preventing the economic consequences of a massive and illegal entry from falling on Spanish taxpayers.”
Meanwhile, local residents of Ceuta have taken measures into their own hands, hosting a massive rally on Aug. 9. Under the slogan “Enough is enough. Ceuta will not give in,” protesters organized by religious communities and neighborhood associations brought together thousands of people to demand action against the mass arrival of migrants on July 30. The organizers put the turnout at over 10,000 people.
Right before pivotal elections in the eastern state of Saxony-Anhalt, a debate program hosted by state broadcaster MDR showcased the massive propaganda being unleashed against the Alternative for Germany (AfD). The lead candidate for the AfD in the state, Ulrich Siegmund, not only faced seven other candidates all setting their sights on him, but also an audience and question panel hostile at every level to the AfD. In fact, at least one audience member has been identified as a politician running for the far-left Social Democrats (SPD) and another tied to the Left Party.
With the AfD potentially scoring an absolute majority in the state, all stops are being pulled out to keep the party out of power. The AfD must win an absolute majority or it will almost certainly be kept from power, with only the BSW signaling they may allow Siegmund to be elected president of the state if push comes to shove. Currently, the party is polling at 42 percent, which means just a few points will make all the difference.
As Welt notes in a piece entitled “Everyone against the AfD,” the entire MDR debate became a farce, noting that the audience members chosen to direct questions to the candidates appeared carefully selected by the state broadcaster.
“Nineteen people then had the opportunity to do so on the program, including several pensioners, students, teachers, local politicians, a queer activist, and a refugee from Syria. People who had little or no opportunity to speak: people who stand on the assembly line, on the construction site or in the shop every day, skilled workers, craftsmen, entrepreneurs, creatives,” wrote Welt.
Now, it is being reported that the audience member who said he fears attacks from right-wing extremists is tied to the Left Party.

In addition, the hosts’ questions themselves were also carefully selected to avoid the topics most damaging to the ruling parties and the status quo. While the MDR claimed that the questions represented “the diversity of topics and perspectives in Saxony-Anhalt,” the reality was quite different.
“The discussion then turned to the CDU’s firewall against the AfD and the Left Party, to cutting funds for promoting democracy and inclusion in the labor market. Regarding the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, equal opportunities in education regardless of home, and the protection of young, foreign, left-wing, and queer people. Or about the danger that Germany will become a dictatorship (from the right), the lack of will (of the West) to end Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine through diplomacy, or the guardianship key in daycare centers.”
Welt notes that key questions were completely omitted, arguably the questions that matter most to Germans.
“The following were not addressed, or hardly addressed: the rising cost of living, affordable energy, the use of countless billions to maintain and expand infrastructure, massive job losses, and countless company bankruptcies. It wasn’t about the wave of tax increases, the botched or stalled reforms to pensions, income tax, or long-term care,” wrote Welt.
Christian Democrat (CDU) Prime Minister Sven Schulze was also among the candidates fielding questions, and even for him, the main focus of questioning appeared to relate to the AfD.
He was repeatedly asked whether he would cooperate with the AfD, until he finally stated, “I do not intend to cooperate with the AfD.“
Given that the party will almost certainly be the most powerful political force in the state, a CDU firewall will prove costly, as it will force the party to form alliances with a number of left-wing parties to remain in power.
As for the AfD’s candidate, Welt writes: “In contrast, AfD member Siegmund is a permanent presence (during the debate). However, he must also defend himself against all sides, both against the politicians on the podium and against most of the questioners. He does this with increasing irritation as the program progresses. His concept against the financial weakness of municipalities: ‘Every euro we give away in the world is missing from the federal government, states and municipalities.’ Without aid for Ukraine, there would be enough money for the municipalities.”
