Nevertheless, he remained so popular with the people of his city that they elected him as an unaffiliated mayor, which means he is running T\u00fcbingen independent of any political party.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cms.zerohedge.com\/s3\/files\/inline-images\/2024-06-11_12-30-38.jpg?itok=ScKVy0b0\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>He warned that anyone who is in contact with young people in Germany knows that they repeatedly note \u201ctheir fear of migrants\u2019 propensity for violence,\u201d but that this view is not taken seriously or \u201cdiscredited as racism.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Palmer\u2019s assertion is backed by the country\u2019s own crime data from the federal interior ministry, which shows that violent crime hit record highs in 2023, with foreigners producing\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/rmx.news\/crime\/migrant-crime-explodes-higher-in-germany-in-2023-violent-crime-hits-record-levels\/\">six out of 10 violent crimes<\/a>.
