Germany First?
City food bank gives Germans precedence
Ministers and charities reacted with outrage to an announcement by a food bank in Essen that it would no longer take on immigrants-in-need.
On Thursday, a charity organization in Essen that hands out food to the needy said that for now, would only serve newcomers if they hold a German passport.
Jörg Sartor, who heads the branch of the Essen Tafel charity, said that 75 percent of the 6,000 users of the service were immigrants, up from 35 percent in 2015. The charity is run mostly by volunteers who parcel up the food which is often the surplus from supermarkets.
Essen Tafel is part of a national charity, Tafel Deutschland, and is one of 930 food banks operating throughout Germany. “Tafel” is German for “table” and recipients must be registered for social welfare in order to be eligible for the food parcels. Essen Tafel is the only one with a policy of this kind, a spokesperson for the umbrella group told local media
Mr. Sartor defended his decision: “We want German grandmothers to be able to keep coming to us,” he told a local newspaper, explaining that over the last two years, single mothers and older women had been scared off from the service because of all the young men, speaking different languages, in the queue for food. Mr. Sartor said he had personally seen “a lack of respect for women” among male users. “When we opened the door in the morning there was always pushing and shoving without any thought given to the grandmothers in the line,” he said.
The decision in Essen takes place against tensions which have been high ever since the refugee crisis and an increase in the number of people from the Middle East and North Africa who sought asylum in Germany after fleeing war and poverty. Through 2015, the authorities struggled to register and house many refugees. Even now, many asylum seekers still lack access to jobs and affordable housing.
