Crimes Of Rape Have Tripled In Six Years Across Spain
Spain has seen an alarming rise in sexual violence over recent years, culminating in a record-high number of rapes, which reached 5,206 incidents in 2024, according to new official statistics from the Ministry of the Interior.
With an average of 14 rapes per day across the country, the figure nearly triples the 1,878 cases reported in 2019 when five daily incidents were reported. The upward trend has remained consistent year-over-year since 2018, aside from a brief dip during 2020 due to Covid-19 restrictions.
Regional breakdowns show that communities like Catalonia, Madrid, and Andalusia report the highest numbers, although increases have been noted throughout all regions of Spain. Cases involving minors, nightlife-related assaults, and attacks perpetrated by groups of offenders are also on the rise. The grim reality presented by these numbers translates to a woman being raped every hour and 45 minutes in Spain.
Remix News reported in November last year on a La Rázon report that revealed 91 percent of those convicted of rape in Catalonia are foreigners, with immigrants comprising just 17 percent of the region's total population.
When it comes to sexual assault and rape combined, 64.2 percent of inmates are foreign nationals.
As reported by El Español, the rapid increase in sexual violence has overwhelmed specialized police units such as the Family and Women's Care Units (UFAM) of the National Police and the Women-Minor Teams (EMUME) of the Civil Guard, both reporting understaffing and resource constraints. Officers within these units indicate that they are working beyond capacity, often handling a significantly higher workload than a decade ago without adequate support, training, or compensation.

"We Have Imported Knife Violence" – Wave Of Attacks Shakes Germany Once Again
Another wave of knife attacks has hit Germany, showing that not much has changed despite the many lost lives and Germans maimed in knife attacks. In fact, the statistics show that these crimes are even getting worse, with 79 knife attacks per day now recorded. A German criminal lawyer warns that Germany has 'imported knife violence,' in response to growing blade crimes. In the last few days, headlines include Kosovar man arrested after knife attack in Germany injures three, including 12-year-old girl' 'Man stabbed half to death on basketball court,' 'Manhunt continues after Syrian asylum seeker stabs 5 outside student bar in Bielefeld,' and 'Rioter injures police officer with knife.' However, thousands of such headlines have run in the German press in recent years, with Remix News reporting on many of them. The overwhelming number of perpetrators are foreigners or those with a foreign background, yet despite promises to crack down and enact deportations of migrant criminals, the bloodshed not only continues but appears to be getting worse.

In other cultures, the knife is a kind of status symbol. This is changing the social climate here in the country,' stated criminal attorney Udo Vetter. He further notes that 'knives have become an everyday companion for many people. And the barrier to using them is low.' Notably, he warns that due to the rise of knives and knife crimes, it is creating a problem that is expected to only grow exponentially, with more and more people arming themselves with knives out of fear. 'Because if some people deliberately pack a knife as a murder weapon, more and more people will also resort to knives, supposedly to defend themselves,' stated Vetter. 'Young people in particular have knives in their pockets just like their cell phones.' However, this problem has been warned about nearly every week, including from the German police themselves. Manuel Ostermann, deputy head of the Federal Police Union, stated that 'the knife as a means of committing a crime always immediately poses a concrete threat to life and limb. Politicians must now take all possible measures to curb this phenomenon.' Ostermann is the same police union head who said that Germany's crime problem is actually an immigration problem during a viral speech last year. 🇩🇪‼️ "Germany is no longer a safe country… The migration crisis is first and foremost a crime crisis."German police union (DPoIG) chairman Manuel Ostermann makes a major statement following the Solingen terror attack by a Syrian Islamist. — Remix News & Views (@RMXnews) August 28, 2024 The head of the German Police Union, Rainer Wendt, also spoke out about the knife crime problem, saying: 'The threshold for violence is getting lower and lower. And the fuse is getting shorter. Knives are being drawn even for trivial reasons and seemingly harmless disputes.' As Remix News previously reported, violent crime reached a record high in Germany last year, with foreigners responsible for nearly half of crimes. There were 29,014 cases in total involving a crime where a knife was used, of which, 15,741 were knife attacks. Serious and dangerous bodily harm with a knife increased by 10.8 percent in 2024 compared to 2023. 🇩🇪 For every well-integrated Middle Eastern migrant, you have so many of these guys causing terror across crime has skyrocketed in Germany, with nearly 30,000 knife-related crimes taking place last shot near German supermarket Kaufland. — Remix News & Views (@RMXnews) April 17, 2025 The Alternative for Germany (AfD) is going on the offensive under the new Christian Democrat-led government, with security and immigration still top concerns. Alice Weidel, AfD party co-leader, mocked the new government's 'five-point plan' to fix the immigration crisis, saying that the border is not secured despite promises. Click here to read more…
