MIL-OSI Europe: Written question – Links between mass immigration and violent crime – E-000536/2025

Question for written answer  E-000536/2025
to the Commission
Rule 144
Mary Khan (ESN)

Recent violent crimes committed in Germany by individuals with a migration background, such as the tragic events that took place in Magdeburg in December 2024 and Aschaffenburg in January 2025, have once again raised serious concerns among Germans regarding the impact of mass immigration. With violent crimes on the rise – including assaults, gang violence and sexual offences[1] – I would like to ask:

• 1.What data does the Commission collect on the correlation between immigration and violent crime rates across the Member States?
• 2.Does the Commission acknowledge any link between mass immigration and an increased incidence of violent crime, as suggested by statistics in Germany, where crime rates have risen in areas with higher concentrations of migrants?
• 3.What steps will the Commission take to hold itself accountable for the consequences of its migration policies, which have directly contributed to the erosion of public safety in Germany?
