The debate about migration in Germany has become more intense in recent weeks. Chancellor Friedrich Merz has highlighted the economic importance of migration by emphasizing that immigration is crucial to strengthening the German labor market. At the same time, however, he criticized the presence of migrants without residency rights, which could have a negative impact on the public image of German cities.
Merz’s comments have caused controversy not only in the opposition, but also within his own party. While he underlined the indispensability of people with a migrant background to the German economy, he focused on the need for all migrants to comply with the law. This discussion is not only reflected in Germany, but is also an issue throughout the European Union.
The controversy was fueled by Merz’s comments about the cityscape and the perception of women. SPD leader Lars Klingbeil was critical and warned against rhetoric that could lead to social division. He advocated a policy of inclusion and emphasized the importance of integration measures that work across generations.
Protest rallies were held in several German cities, including Berlin and Kiel, which could lead to further demonstrations in Cologne. At the same time, the “Radical Daughters” initiative has launched an online petition calling on politicians to reflect on their migration policy positions.
Policy measures to improve public safety are also discussed. A proposal for video surveillance, put forward by the CDU state leader of Rhineland-Palatinate, is met with different opinions. While the CDU advocates increased surveillance, the Left steers the discussion towards violence prevention and the need for better financing of women’s shelters. These different approaches reflect the diverse perspectives on how one should deal with the issue of social integration.
