The irony being that Saxony‑Anhalt faces a serious demographic crisis. It needs a lot of immigrants in order to maintain its population and GDP levels. 😀 Saxony‑Anhalt is one of the fastest‑shrinking regions in Germany.Since reunification, the state has lost ~700,000 residents (≈25% of its population). The population is projected to fall from 2.15 million (2022) to 1.83 million (2040), a 15% decline. Nearly all municipalities are shrinking, especially rural areas. https://www.demografie-portal.de/DE/Bund-Laender/Sachsen-Anhalt/demografische-entwicklung.html It faces shrinking population, rapid aging, low birth rates, and continued out‑migration. These trends are expected to continue for decades. On top of it (for our RW posters who usually advocate for a decrease in social expenses), it is one of the largest main recipient of social subsidies. The federal government transfered €3.2 billon in 2025 to Saxony Anhalt, around 21% of the Land's budget. https://www.marktundmittelstand.de/politik/fuests-warnung
