AfD Promotes Controversial 'Remigration' Policy as German Election Race Intensifies

[Social Media]

 

As the German election race heats up, the co-leader of the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, Alice Weidel, has stirred controversy by endorsing a "remigration" policy. Weidel announced plans for mass deportations and a total closure of Germany’s borders if the AfD secures power in the upcoming election.

 

In unveiling the party’s manifesto, Weidel pledged large-scale repatriations and a complete border shutdown within the first 100 days of an AfD-led government. Speaking to supporters in Riesa, an eastern German town recently marred by anti-AfD protests, Weidel emphasized the contentious term "remigration" to describe the policy.

 

“Repatriations on a large scale” would be carried out, she stated, adding, “If this must be called ‘remigration’, then let it be called ‘remigration.’” Her remarks were met with enthusiastic cheers from supporters and vocal protests outside the venue.

 

The term "remigration" refers to the forced return of migrants to their countries of origin, irrespective of their current citizenship status. Critics argue that the policy resembles ethnic cleansing, sparking widespread debate across Germany. Investigative reports recently surfaced, alleging a secret meeting near Potsdam involving far-Right groups, including senior AfD members, to discuss the expulsion of millions of people, including "non-assimilated" German citizens.

 

This policy stance has led to friction even among European far-Right allies, with France’s National Rally, headed by Marine Le Pen, distancing itself by expelling the AfD from its European Parliament group earlier this year.

 

Despite being labelled a suspected extremist group by Germany’s domestic intelligence agency, the AfD has seen a surge in popularity. Recent polls position the AfD in second place with around 20 percent support, closing the gap to the leading Christian Democrats (CDU), who hold just over 30 percent.

 

Nonetheless, a long-standing agreement among Germany’s major parties to avoid collaboration with the AfD makes it unlikely they will enter government. This scenario leaves the CDU likely needing to form a coalition with one of the Left-wing parties, either Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s Social Democrats or the Greens, both vying for third place with support hovering around 15 and 14 percent, respectively.

 

As Germany grapples with growing public demand for stricter immigration policies, the election outcome remains uncertain, with the AfD’s controversial stance potentially reshaping the country’s political landscape.

The polls say 21% potential NAZI voters in Germany.

However, many probably vote for them because of disappointment with the former govt.

Eventually there will be a conservative millionaire as next Chancellor.

The problem with immigrants is that the politicians that bring them in are not the ones that have to deal with them. Bringing in people with no marketable skills and dumping them onto local authorities is a bad move.
