A far-left political club and youth center in Leipzig, Germany called “Conne Island” issued a statement admitting it’s attempts to incorporate migrants has resulted in a huge increase in sex attacks, fighting, and thefts.

The statement says that women are now avoiding dance nights due to fears of being harassed, and it condemns the tendency of leftist to trivialize the sex attacks due to the fact they are being committed by migrants.

Last year, the club’s staff was concerned about reports of “right-wing mobs” greeting migrants with verbal and physical abuse, which prompted attempts to “reach out to newcomers” by organizing skateboarding and bicycling workshops along with German lessons to “promote integration,” as well as lowering the entrance fee to just 50 cents for migrants to visit the club.

As a result of the decision, sex attacks and violent confrontations at dance nights soared, making female guests begin to avoid the club.

“To integrate young migrants just by celebrating together turned out to be quite a naive plan, it was simply not enough to hang multilingual posters outlining how to behave at parties,” the statement said.

One security guard reported that leftist activists would yell at the door staff whenever they tried to throw migrants out, accusing them of racism, leading the migrants to then also accuse the security of racism every time they were challenged.

“It’s a very difficult situation for us to express all of this because we don’t want to play into the hands of the Alternative for Germany and Christian Democratic Union party’s racism,” Conne Island said, then adding: “However, the situation is so tense and stressful for many victims and also Conne Island staff that avoiding talking about the facts no longer seems appropriate.”

The statement condemns the leftist activist’s excusing, concealing, or trivializing the migrant’s bad behavior, saying “There should be no double standards” when it comes to sexism, homophobia, and anti-Semitism.

Earlier in the year, a number of clubs modified their door policies after witnessing a massive increase in sexual assaults, attacks on bouncers, and pick-pocketing, which infuriated many leftist groups who say discrimination against migrants is always unacceptable.

Conne Island wrote: “The ‘cry for help’ of the left-wing White Rabbit club in Freiburg and the reactions from the press and leftist circles clearly showed how difficult this subject is; Solidarity [with victims of sexual assault], solidarity with refugees, [the issue of] playing into right-wing attitudes. We must recognize that wearing a ‘refugees welcome’ badge does not automatically make problems go away.”
