The Greifswald protest is one of a long line of protests against the migrant hub in Western Europe, where many locals appear to have grown impatient with their country’s open border policies.
Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, the state in which Greifswald is located, seems to be a hotbed for this type of protest in Germany, with the small town of Uppal hosting another major protest against a refugee shelter.
According to Deutsche Welle, state officials plan to house 400 migrants in a town of just 1,600 people, sparking protests by about 700 people earlier this month.
Ireland has also seen many protests against mass migration, with local communities on the island now taking part in regular protests against the government’s plans to bring in tens of thousands of migrants this year.
As the country of just 5 million faces a housing shortage, the largely working-class protests have focused on the state’s unwillingness to care for Ireland’s homeless, with many accusing border officials of putting women and children at risk and bringing dozens of homes into danger. thousands of unverified male migrants to various regions.
A more isolated protest movement has slowly taken over the UK, with a large demonstration in Knowsley, Merseyside, amid allegations that a local center housed “nuncios”, the British term for pedophiles.
The protest eventually turned into a riot after antifa activists, who advocate open borders, tried to break up the protest.
