Influencer Baidaa S. posted pictures from German cities. Suddenly, the "Spiegel" shows her in shabby clothes, as the main character of a refugee drama in Greece
The "Spiegel" is launching a campaign against the EU's migration policy, which is presumably based on fake news and the staging of a young woman. Instead of honestly coming to terms with his own failures, he continues to deceive the public to this day.
Baidaa S. carefully opens the apartment door. She is wearing a dark blue headscarf and is holding a child in her arms. It's Saturday, her neighbor is visiting. Baidaa S. smiles a little uncertainly, instead of German or English she would like to speak Arabic and have her neighbor translate. No, she lets the NZZ journalists know, she no longer wants to talk about the island and Greece. "It was a difficult, sad time," she says. "Now I want to start a new life." In the stairwell there is a pram that belongs to the neighbor of Baidaa S., outside it is gray and cold.
Baidaa S. visits her husband every weekend, he lives in a quiet residential area in the Palatinate province. Mid-range cars and trailers are parked in the parking lots, and wind turbines rotate on the hills on the horizon. A neighbor brings wood to the house for Saturday evening. It's not surprising that the 27-year-old doesn't want to talk to the media. Because Baidaa S. is the central figure in a media scandal that puts the German magazine “Der Spiegel” in need of explanation.
A media-savvy book author
Four years after the forger Claas Relotius was exposed, the magazine recently had to remove three articles and a podcast about a refugee drama from its website because they were based on allegedly fabricated stories. Although the "Spiegel" published a multi-page reappraisal of the case shortly before the New Year, one question still remains: are the makers of the leading medium with the highest circulation and most frequently cited in Germany just naive - or are they intentionally hiding the fact that they have been taken in by a witness who is more imaginative than trustworthy are?
How exactly Baidaa S. - also known as Beida or Baida - got involved in this story remains unclear. What is certain is that the young Syrian has been working as an author and influencer for several years. According to her own statements, she was born in Raqqa in 1995 and has already written six books. On social networks like Instagram and Tiktok, she posts pious sayings about Allah, quotes wisdom and shares pictures from all over the world, often from Turkey and Germany.
In March 2021, for example, she published a picture on Instagram of a woman holding a coffee cup and reading a book, her legs covered with a fluffy fabric. “Germany” is given as the location. According to other posts, Baidaa S. is also in Istanbul and other places in Turkey that year. Syrian exile associations reported on her in 2019, and in 2018 she wrote an article on the subject of betrayal in the newspaper “Al Watan voice”. A bookstore in Safak, Turkey, is promoting its latest book on Facebook in 2021, proudly holding it up to the camera, her face carefully made up, her hair covered with an elegant hijab. "Stupidity of the heart" is written on the book cover.
The dead Maria – “a pan-European crime”
The same woman suddenly appears in international media in August 2022. However, not as a cosmopolitan influencer, but as a desperate spokeswoman for a 38-strong, mostly Syrian refugee group stuck in the Turkish-Greek border area. "Baidaa S. and other refugees have been waiting for days on an island in the border river Evros," writes the "Spiegel" on August 10. In the picture accompanying the article, the Syrian wears a poor blue hijab, without makeup and looks into the camera with swollen eyes. Behind her are men, women and some children seated in a parched meadow. The title of the "Spiegel" article is: "Maria, five years old, died at the EU's external border".
The first Spiegel headline on the Maria case, August 10, 2022
It is the start of an international campaign against EU migration policy. The refugees, according to Der Spiegel, the Guardian, Channel 4 and other media, were brought to the border by Turkish authorities, but the Greek border guards would use force to prevent them from crossing the EU border. With these pushbacks, Greece is once again violating human rights, worse still: in this case, a girl named Maria died of a scorpion sting because the EU authorities failed to provide assistance. If they don't intervene, another girl is in danger of dying. The "Spiegel" speaks of a "pan-European crime", which shows in an exemplary manner how values are sacrificed at the border.
"Nobody wants us, nobody helps us"
The media campaign that the "Spiegel" launched on August 10 against the EU and the Greek government affects an area in which there is a lot of trickery, cover-up and lies, from all sides. It's about human life, state interests, border disputes, ideology and a lot of money. Turkish President Erdogan regularly threatens war with Greece, using the millions of migrants and Syrian refugees, some of whom have been living in Turkey for years, as leverage against the EU. According to rescue workers, traffickers repeatedly stage emergencies in order to persuade authorities to intervene, for example with babies who are supposedly sick but are actually healthy. The Greek government and the EU border agency Frontex are involved in numerous cases of illegal pushbacks, but deny it.
NGOs that promote an unconditional right to immigration often present statements made by migrants as if they were facts. Journalists, in turn, take over these representations and pass them off as research. The main source for the above reports is Baidaa S. She has been in contact with Greek NGOs such as Alarm Phone and Humanrights 360 by cell phone as of July 2022, sending pictures, videos and calls for help. "Nobody wants us, nobody helps us," she says in a video in English, close to tears, "I'm dying of hunger and thirst, I'm dying mentally and physically." Her 70-year-old grandmother is also in danger. The NGO lawyers give Baidaa S.' Number to selected journalists, above all to Giorgos Christides, the Greece correspondent of the "Spiegel".
What Baidaa S. tells, journalists partly pass on to their audience one-to-one. A "Spiegel" podcast from August 19 begins with a quote from Baidaa S., "a five-year-old girl is dead, stung by a scorpion". Christides reports on Twitter that Baidaa S. has seen at least three people die since July. The NGOs, with which media such as "Spiegel" work, also spread blurred images of a girl lying on the ground and of refugees who were allegedly beaten by Greek and Turkish security forces.
A day after her arrival, Baidaa S. disappears.
There is hardly any mention of the several deaths that Baidaa S. claims to have seen. But there are soon doubts about what she said about five-year-old Maria. And their behavior also raises questions. On August 15, the 38 refugees were allowed to enter Greece under pressure from NGOs, the media, the European Court of Human Rights and Greek Syriza politicians. They will be registered and taken to the Drama regional unit on September 9, to a facility for asylum seekers. They should stay there until their applications are processed.

However, Baidaa S. disappeared just one day after her arrival. Your name is also not on a list that the refugees sent to the European Court of Human Rights in mid-July. Her 70-year-old grandmother, whom she spoke about in video messages, suddenly no longer seems to be her grandmother. And the girl Maria, who was killed by a sc
orpion and whom she told about, most likely does not exist, as Greek journalists soon find out. The second girl allegedly stung is healthy.
Since then, the "Spiegel", seconded by media such as Deutsche Wellle, has tried to contain the scandal with all sorts of diversionary maneuvers - and to present the case as a regrettable failure. In view of the source situation, the magazine writes in a "review" published on December 30, the articles should have been worded "more carefully". The deputy head of foreign affairs raised the statements of the refugees to facts, nobody checked them. Due to the many errors, the reports will no longer be published. However, the editors praise themselves as having “researched deeply again”.
The ombudsman clarified the questions as to whether there were deadly scorpions in the Evros border area (answer: no, but it cannot be ruled out that a dehydrated child dies from a sting) or whether the refugees were on Greek territory as claimed ( Answer: only partially, at first they were on Turkish territory, maybe they were supported by Turkish smugglers).
The "Spiegel" promises clarification - and is silent
But the "Spiegel" does not ask the most important questions: Why was Baidaa S.' Name not on the list the refugees sent to the European Court of Human Rights? How could she simply leave Greece as an asylum seeker? Was she still a refugee in the summer of 2022, or was she pretending to the media? Instead, one learns almost in passing that Baidaa S. "now lives in Rhineland-Palatinate". Shortly after her stay in Drama, she posted a video of a plane taking off from Athens - with the message that she had arrived in Germany "after a long struggle". "Since then" she has posted a lot on her Tiktok and Instagram channels, where she has been followed by more than 24,000 people.
The "Spiegel" does not say a word about the fact that Baidaa S. was extremely active in social networks and disseminated pictures of German cities and landscapes even before her stay in Greece. He also doesn't mention that she is a psychic book author. Or that Giorgos Christides followed Baidaa S.'s Instagram account - and apparently didn't notice anything about her past life, which doesn't fit the woman he reported on in the summer of 2022. Instead, the “Spiegel” also acts in its “Review” of December 30, 2022 as if she were an ordinary Syrian refugee and a trustworthy source.
Among other things, the magazine continues to refer to Baidaa S. to claim that there were pushbacks and "shootings" between Greeks and Turks on the Evros. There are considerable doubts about Baidaa S.' Credibility. According to Greek sources, the young Syrian is suspected of human smuggling and other crimes. In the refugee camp she received no documents that would have allowed her to travel to Germany by plane or otherwise.

Διαβάζοντας την τελευταία παράγραφο που λέει ότι η κυρία δεν έλαβε έγγραφα που θα της επέτρεπαν να ταξιδέψει στη Γερμανία ως πρόσφυγας, αβίαστα βγαίνει το συμπέρασμα ότι ΕΙΧΕ ήδη έγγραφα που της επέτρεπαν ελεύθερη κίνηση στην ΕΕ.
