Germany's Merz attacks AfD in stormy debate after far-right election win
bbc ^ | 09/08/2026 | Paul Kirby

Repeatedly heckled by AfD MPs, the chancellor told Weidel that one in six skilled workers had a migration background, and if her party had its way then its policy would amount to "nothing other than an ethnic cleansing in the skilled trades based on skin colour and origin".

While the government understood some deportations were needed, he said it made a careful distinction between those who contributed to German prosperity and those without permanent residency.

Disruption by AfD MPs became so loud that at one point Bundestag President Julia Klöckner threatened to start expelling people from the chamber: "We are not on a football pitch."

Weidel said mass migration had left Germans with daily knife violence and attacks on trains and in stations, but Merz warned that the AfD's plans would mean that no single care home, hospital or restaurant could function.

Same old lies, spoken by a true WEF Globalist

Even more than the USA, migrants in Germany are a great drain on society - they use welfare, medical, social services in FAR greater percentages than the native population. And that even the case 2 generations later. They do not acclimate, they do not integrate.

Maybe a few take jobs at McDonalds. In that case, Germany will easily figure out how to replace them.

” Far right “?

Wonder who the exalted experts in the BBC newsroom consider far-left?

Germany starts another world war. That “Throne of Satan” they have in the museum there must be real.

Just another variation of the, “But who will pick our cotton?!?!” argument.

This is the German equivalent of "they do the work Americans won't do" that we keep hearing from open borders enthusiasts in the US, most famously from various members of the Bush clan. The CDU deserves its losses - it has sold out Germany as badly as its supposed opponents in the SPD.

The media is the real problem people all over the world read this propaganda non-stop that’s why they believe crazy versions of the United States and of Their own countries.

If it all makes so much sense and if people are accepting these arguments then how come all these millions of so-called immigrants came in illegally and no one passed a law to screen them and accept skilled or hard-working immigrants?

Also I can name lots of countries around the world with eager to work overseas populations. How come they decided to let North Africans illegally flood the continent?

Here we go again, government hack who oversaw the invasion and continuously gaslit the public and demonized all opposition once again pretends to be reasonable but in reality is DOING nothing but keep the invader spigots open on full blast. And bragging that 17% of skilled jobs in Germany now go to “migrant background” people instead of Germans who could use those jobs.

Many deportations are needed. If they can’t deport all of the Muzzies, then they should just deport the Muzzie men. There are enough non-Muzzies in the world that no more are needed in the West. They should be able to attract enough Ukrainian, Russian, and Belarusians to do all of the jobs that Germans won’t do, but they might need to increase the pay to attract such people. Typically, it’s the low salaries causing the problem.

The media is the real problem “

Yes and the proof of that was when people came here for the world cup. Instead of the hell hole they were expecting what they found was a place they could only dream of living in.

Keep it up and the AfD will get an absolute majority next time.
