Germany’s cities are on the verge of a massive financial crisis, with the mayor of Essen warning that the data shows that almost every single city in the country is nearly bankrupt.
Currently, the total deficit for all German cities in 2025 is €30 billion, which jumped from last year’s deficit of €24 billion.
Essen’s Mayor Thomas Kufen (CDU), who is also a member of the CDU federal executive board, is sounding the alarm: “Almost every German city is now on the verge of bankruptcy.”
Germany: Berlin needs emergency loans after migrants blow €500 million hole in city’s budget
Germany’s cities are on the verge of a massive financial crisis, with the mayor of Essen warning that the data shows that almost every single city in the country is nearly bankrupt.
Currently, the total deficit for all German cities in 2025 is €30 billion, which jumped from last year’s deficit of €24 billion.
Essen’s Mayor Thomas Kufen (CDU), who is also a member of the CDU federal executive board, is sounding the alarm: “Almost every German city is now on the verge of bankruptcy.”
In North Rhine-Westphalia alone, only 10 out of 396 cities and municipalities can present a balanced budget, and these alarming figures from Germany’s largest federal state can be applied to the “entire country,” he said.
Mayor Kufen stressed that the crisis is universal, affecting municipalities regardless of their location: “What’s new is that all cities have their backs against the wall,” he told Bild newspaper.
He warned that “budget freezes would now have to be imposed everywhere,” including in many cities previously considered wealthy.
Kufen emphasized the need for a national discussion on affordability: “We have to talk about what we can do so that our welfare state itself does not become a social case. This means: What do we want to afford and what else can we afford?”
However, he noted that cities cannot make these crucial decisions themselves; only the federal government can
Kufen illustrated the crisis with figures from his own city, Essen, which has a population of nearly 600,000. The city had planned a balanced budget for 2025. “But instead of a slight increase of €1.7 million, we currently have a deficit of €123 million,” he calculated.
Once again, refugee accommodation and integration are near the top of the list for reasons why the city is seeing a budget shortfall. Far from being a solution to Germany’s budget and pension crisis, they have become a massive financial burden for the country, costing at least €50 billion a year in social integration, housing, and benefits.

However, there are also many more hidden costs to mass immigration, including rising housing prices, healthcare costs, education costs for an increasingly foreign student population, and housing a huge number of foreigners in German prisons and psychiatric institutions. Just like Essen, even major cities like Berlin are seeing “spiraling costs” due to mass immigration, leading to large-scale debt required to keep the cities running.
Some research studies have indicated that the overall cost of immigration has already cost Germany trillions and could reach €20 trillion if migration numbers do not fall.
Kufen points to education and social spending as burdens on his city as well, and in many ways, foreigners here also account for huge costs.
For example, official statistics from Essen indicate there are approximately 22,730 primary school students enrolled in Essen, and out of these, about 5,565 are classified as “Not German,” making up roughly 24.5 percent of primary school students in the city. If this definition is expanded to those with an “immigration background,” then the figure increases to 35 percent.
As with states and cities across the country, the non-German student population has, in general, been a massive budget burden, as these students need extra integration courses and more money per student to compensate for educational deficits.
When it comes to social spending, approximately 63 percent of all welfare recipients in Germany are foreigners or have a foreign background, despite being a much smaller share of the population.
In regard to Essen, there are also increased personnel costs due to a public sector tariff increase.
As a consequence, Kufen had to impose “restrictive household management” in Essen. This means the city is essentially only paying what is legally required, such as social assistance and wages. For all other expenses over €5,000, “you need an extra permit from the treasurer.”
Summarizing the situation, Kufen said, “There’s not much left.”
Germany: New data reveal shocking cost of migrants for Berlin taxpayers
Addressing the federal government’s gigantic debt package intended to help cities, Kufen explained that Essen will receive €335 million over the next 12 years, equating to “just 28 million per year.”
He argued this is insufficient because the funding is primarily intended to finance construction projects. In Essen, that would “with luck be enough for two and a half schools,” Kufen said, noting that “costs have exploded, especially when it comes to construction.”
Kufen made it clear he doesn’t want to sound “ungrateful.”
“We’re happy to take the money. But if someone thinks that Berlin or Düsseldorf will solve all my problems, all I can say is: It will help alleviate them, but we still have a lot to struggle with.”
The mayor stressed that what cities truly need is “not just the money for investments, but simply less bureaucracy, easier awards, fewer requirements so that I can end up doing more with the little money.”
He also warned that if the state cannot function, then democracy is under threat, saying: “Because that’s where citizens find out whether the state works. Whether I can get a daycare place or whether the street lamps come on at night. If you can no longer do all of this, the people who pay taxes get the impression that politicians are not dealing with it properly. And that’s dangerous.”
Germany spent over €17 billion on housing support in 2024, with nearly half going to foreigners
It is not just the government either, with data showing that residents in Essen are taking on more and more personal debt due to rising rents, electricity, and even food prices, which have risen further in recent months.
The number of people who have taken on so much debt that they cannot pay it back has risen for the first time in six years as well, reaching 5.7 million people who are defined as “over-indebted.” The report also warns that this trend is expected to worsen due to rising unemployment.

Conspiracy Author David Icke Repeatedly ‘Named and Shamed’ in New Jeffrey Epstein Files
Fact checked by The People’s Voice Community
disgraced conspiracy author David Icke has been named and shamed at least 15 times in Congress’s latest release of the Jeffrey Epstein files— the very documents that peel back the curtain on the financier’s global pedophile network
The man who spent decades at the BBC helping to gate-keep the truth about prolific child predator Jimmy Savile, and who cozied up to the leader of one of history’s most infamous pedophile cults, has now been named repeatedly in these explosive new Epstein revelations. Coincidence? Or just another layer in Icke’s web of deception?
The House Oversight Committee released more than 23,000 documents related to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein last week, including document 015032 which features the first mention of Icke in the Jeffrey Epstein files, cryptically stating “They killed David Icke’s friend before he could kill Icke…”The British conspiracy author is mentioned at least another 14 times in the files, all of which are accessible and fully searchable for the public. .s a former BBC presenter and Savile’s colleague through the 1970s and ’80s, Icke was knee-deep in the corporation’s infamous culture of silence. Insiders like Bill Oddie and Jill Dando had long admitted Savile’s “running sick joke” of preying on kids was a BBC open secret—yet Icke, a rising star on Newsnight, Breakfast Time, and Grandstand until 1990, claims he only learned of Savile’s horrors in the 1990s.Icke also tells his followers that he was shouting from the rooftops about Savile’s true nature to anyone who would listen, positioning himself as a lone truth-teller battling disbelief. But there’s no record of this whatsoever. TPV crunched the data from Icke’s pre-2012 publications—from books like Truth Vibrations (1991) to Human Race Get Off Your Knees (2010), plus newsletters and speeches—and found zero mentions of Savile despite Icke’s endless rants naming everyone from George Bush Sr., Bill Clinton, Boxcar Willie the amazing James Randi and Kris Kristofferson as pedos. Not one.
But Icke’s stench doesn’t stop at Savile. Enter Zen Gardner—real name Don Ferguson—a “love and light” guru and Icke’s trusted inner-circle ally, who rose to leadership in The Children of God (now rebranded The Family International after fleeing pedophilia scandals across South America).
This cult’s doctrine? Glorifying child sex abuse as “God’s work,” with Gardner spending 27 years as a teacher, leader, and—get this—image manager, whitewashing their depravities for the outside world. Icke, ever the enabler, even floated giving this pedo-cult veteran his own slot on The People’s Voice (TPV) internet TV—thankfully, cooler heads prevailed.
Icke only piled on after Savile’s death in 2011, when The Truthseeker CO.Uk broke the story the day after his death
Yorkshire bosses face backlash for sacking UK miners while hiring migrant workers from belarius
Story by Dan Warburton
The company behind the biggest private infrastructure project in the country is facing a backlash after laying off British workers while hiring
in migrants
The government has been doing this since 1945, its record of Racism and human rights to its own electorate is appalling
Investors have raised concerns about the Woodsmith Mine project in north Yorkshire which is trying to gain access to the world’s largest known deposit of polyhalite fertiliser. And sources say Anglo American is laying off British miners at the project, near Whitby, after announcing last year it was costing £2million a day to run.
As part of a new deal after merging with a rival, the company will quit its UK headquarters and move to Vancouver ahead of the first planned production in 2030. The move puts hundreds of staff who work in the Anglo London office at risk of redundancy. But it is employing workers from Belarus, a country which faces sanctions from the British government around asset freezing and bans on exporting and importing certain goods. This is to pressure the Belarusian government to comply with human rights and international law. The measures are in place due to Belarus’ support for President Putin’s invasion of Ukraine and its own human rights record. Anglo American insisted workers from Belarus had been called in because of their “specialist shaft sinking and tunnelling skills”. But the move has angered local politicians and investors are also “deeply worried”.

Keir Starmer will be forced out in the New Year’ as Labour support crumbles and civil war erupts
The Prime Minister “doesn’t seem like someone who can do the job he was paid to do, and cant cope with the weight of the
country on his shoulders for much longer”,
one insider said.
Keir Starmer is incompetent and should resign as Prime Minister before facing a leadership challenge in early 2026 new reports suggest. Party members have come to the conclusion based on Keir realising he is totally out of step with the electorate
his inability to listen, the huge public applause to Bob Vylan at Glastonbury, where many thousands cheered him to the rooftops
for speaking out about israeli terrorism, the genocide and sending milions of refugees to the UK and ireland
Kier Starmer was deaf to the demands of the people, he has to go, and we dont want another racist jew like Wes Streeter
You may not have noticed, but Germany has been getting the worst of it for years. Because they tried to get rid of the jew. The Russians did the same many years before that and the same thing happened to them. Germany, like the jew-k, is already finished. You can’t survive with millions of ragheads with four wives, each birthing 4.2 children compared to your 1.5 from your one wife. Ask queer starmer how he expects that to work.
There is still tremendous greed among White people: everywhere I look I see big BMWs and Mercedes, nothing like austerity, paying the debt, banning the bankers, NOT borrowing, etc.
Some years ago a completely specious mantra was started in the Anglo-Saxon world which spread unquestioned all over the EU. It ran like this: everybody is getting old, we can’t afford pensions anymore, retirement must come later (point of death ideally) people must take out private pensions based on stock market casinos, we have to import more immigrants to rejuvenate (replace) the population, everybody is living much (far too) longer etc.
Thus you collapse the social security system by ensuring millions enter the system who are both under aged and very aged and sick- entire extended families must be brought in too, all demanding health care, housing, school, training, they won’t be contributing in tax or social security for years-in many cases never as they have no desire to integrate or change their closed communities. Many may be angry, alienated by NATO’s endless wars on their former countries or else, are are opportunistic, criminal predators of their countries who have money and menace to establish feral ways elsewhere.
Now with AI you simply won’t have jobs, occupations soon even for the well heeled middle class who are programmed to welcome (patronise) ‘refugees ‘ Less money coming into the system, vastly more demands placed on it, first places to implode are cities. They are getting more run down, openly drug infested, dirty and menacing all across Europe. Gated Community for me Pest Holes for you. Selective blind eye policing cements the foundations. As for people living longer this is the reverse..just take a look at obits for the numbers of 40-60 year olds dying off! Lots of people die before pension age but their contributions are stolen by govts and then with inheritance taxes. Ideal.
Another serious problem for Germany and all other EU countries is the eye watering 200 billion € they’ve thrown at their pet poster boy and embezzler Zelensky. Who has siphoned off billions for his oligarch protectors and demanded that impoverished Ukies who can’t bribe their way free go to die for his protection racket. 200 billion€ plus weapons and intelligence, the US has given even more to this extortion state.
Without having their huge investment in Nordstream blown up by ‘allies’, without having a spineless but bullying identikit political class strangling everything, without handing over massive amounts of cash and guarantees to a long failed state- a country which in December 2021 on the eve of the war was deemed very far from reaching EU membership criteria due to wholesale corruption, human rights and a non functioning judiciary. Then German cities and societies might not be bankrupt and imploding. Baldy Merz’s solution? Arm up for a Big War with Russia ASAP.
Satanic globalist plan working… Protestant Germany destroyed.
the fall of Hitler was the fall of white civilization brah
these knuckle heads do not get it. import illegals and house, clothe, feed them will quickly bite into a budget. naturally by sanctioning Russian gas and oil, once provided very cheaply to germany, what do they think the consequences will be.
Repatriate the illegals, abolish net zero, climate change clap trap, get rid of the Russian sanctions, stop funding ukraine build coal fired electricity stations and watch how budgets will move to toward the positive
The ten cities that had the good sense to balance their budgets will be swept up in the fall of the others. There’s no escape for any of the little guys when das Vaterland collapses on them. The globalists will stomp them down while pulling der Vater up.
yes I will help apointing for my welfare
aplication since jew landlordcompanies
rise the rents . traitor government will learn
to suport their own natives or to make war
for the US JEWS : they will never win against
russia . they will loose everything + that what
the international jews want .
It is becoming glaringly obvious that the mass influx of 3rd world men into the West has been nothing but an unmitigated disaster. There is simply nothing good coming from it. It should also be obvious that a major effect of this influx will be the collapse of the welfare state. I believe this is one of the main reasons for the invasion in the first place.
What will the muds do when welfare ends? Will they go home? How?
The treasonous rat politicians have deliberately inflicted this hell upon us in order to create a neo feudal technocracy, where we are owned completely by the rich and powerful and any rights we had will become nothing more than toilet paper.
all the ruling politicians in Berlin should be killed .
they are destroyers of germany by orders of the
jewish ruled Atlantic US/UK thinktanks . but as
long germans are so stupid to elect them + listen to
the jewish guided medias so they get what they
deserve . in my quarter I only mostly see foreigners .
