"El alcalde de #TorrePacheco estĆ” diciendo que tiene un problema de delincuencia. Pues vamos a los datos.
Datos de 2024. Torre Pacheco tiene una tasa de 48 delitos por cada 1.000 habitantes, que es justo la media nacional. La misma, que es de 48 delitos por cada 1.000 habitantes.
Para que pongƔis en perspectica. En Madrid la tasa es de 62 delitos por cada 1000 hb, en Barcelona es de 68 por cada 1000 hb, en Valencia es de 50 y en Sevilla es de 54. Es decir, Torre Pacheco es mƔs seguro que las grandes ciudades.
Pero si lo comparamos con Murcia es de 51 delitos por cada 1000 habitantes.
Ahora vamos por la tasa de inmigraciĆ³n.
En Torre Pacheco la tasa de inmigraciĆ³n es del 30%, cuando en Murcia es del 13%. Es decir, en Murcia hay mĆ”s delincuencia con menos de la mitad de porcentaje de inmigraciĆ³n con respecto a su poblaciĆ³n. En Sevilla, que tiene una tasa de delitos mayor la tasa de inmigraciĆ³n es del 7,5%. Cuatro veces menor.

Das āSelbstbestimmungsgesetzā hat seinen Namen nicht verdient

Rechtliche Selbstbestimmung in Bezug auf das Geschlecht: Das verspricht die Ampelregierung mit ihrem neuen Gesetzesentwurf. Halten kann sie dieses Versprechen nicht. - Ein Kommentar von Ivan Barker
"Selbstbestimmungsgesetz" = Transpersonen unter Generalverdacht und "ĆberprĆ¼fung" durch #Verfassungsschutz, MilitƤrgeheimdienst, BKA, #Polizei, Zoll usw.?!
Klar, sowas wie die #Unschuldsvermutung ist dem Staat immer lƤstig, Innenminister*innen noch etwas mehr und der amtierenden Rechtspopulistin von der #SPD ohnehin.
Wen wundert's noch, dass dann auch ein "Selbstbestimmungsgesetz" dem Staat dazu dienen soll, Minderheiten unter Generalverdacht zu stellen und ihre sensible Daten den ganzen "Sicherheits"-Behƶrden zu Ć¼bergeben. Dabei sind diese Behƶrden fĆ¼r ihre rechtsradikalen Umtriebe und Strukturen bekannt von denen auch Transpersonen bedroht sind!
Selbstbestimmung nur gegen Polizeikontrolle, Ćberwachung, Generalverdacht ist jedenfalls keine Selbstbestimmung!
Und zur Erinnerung: Das passiert gerade alles unter einer linksliberalen Regierung, die sich fĆ¼r sowas noch als "progressiv" feiern lƤsst.
Das Selbstbestimmungsgesetz sollte lƤngst verabschiedet sein. Dann kam das Innenministerium mit einem Wunsch: Ćnderungen von Namen und Geschlecht sollen an den gesamten deutschen Sicherheitsapparat gemeldet werden. Ist das wirklich notwendig?
Die RĆ¼ckkehr der "Transvestiten-Karteien" muss verhindert werden
āDas Bundesinnenministerium von Alexander Dobrindt (CSU) plant ein Sonderregister fĆ¼r alle Menschen, die das Selbstbestimmungsgesetz in Anspruch genommen haben. Das ist nicht nur geschichtslos, sondern brandgefƤhrlich.ā

Es ist einfach nur noch zum Heulen. Transpersonen wollen, wie alle Menschen, einfach nur in Frieden ihr Leben leben.
