Dumb caption 63% of the people that got Asked are backing him not 63% of germans
So it’s not controversial then and fabricated by the media
So 63% of Germans are racists.
Well duh. His comments were so vage and left so much room for interpretation, that I am surprised the number is not higher.
The idea of immigration is weird. Why anybody will want immigration, specially illegal? Do you want thousands of strangers, with different language and culture around you? No sane person wants that. If you want to live in Arab country, you go in Arab country, you do not turn your country into Middle East.
Also emigration is a form of colonialism – so rich countries take people from the poor countries, which damages the poorer economies.
Above that most illegal immigrants pay a lot to be trafficked, and then most are also abused at different ways – so migration turns them into victims of organized criminal groups. How any sane person supports that?
And your hate in form of minuses changes nothing. You put minuses, because you have no arguments. So you prove you are wrong 🙂
So actually its the opposite views that are controversial not his.
Some hot take incoming. This is just my opinion, and I might be terribly wrong.
But I firmly believe that one part of the reason why far right is getting stronger and stronger in Europe, is the overdone liberalism when it came to immigrants.
I consider myself a liberal. However it was very obvious that uncontrolled immigration will lead to issues. However I remember very vividly how people were called racists for bringing up their concerns. You literally couldn’t have a civil discussion about this topic.
Maybe the single thing I agree with on orbán’s politics is the fence on the Southern border. Yet we were called racists and xenophobic for it. And when you keep calling people such names, and basically completely invalidating their point of view by calling them nazis, and fascists, it will push people away to the other direction, especially with hyenas like orbán playing people’s fears.
I believe in immigration, people should have the means to live elsewhere. However it is also a valid and important preference for nationals of a country to feel safe and at home.
I luckily did not end up on the right, but I can honestly tell you that it was infuriating to hear being called a racist just because I thought that mass immigration is not a good thing.
And now apparently most people agree.
Germany wakes up
He’s 100% correct
Germany today gives Sweden 10 years ago vibes.
Seems like everyone everywhere is sick of immigration.
63% of the population lacks empathy and really thinks a human being can be illegal.
National borders are man made and arbitrary.
It is just luck to be born in Germany or in any of the country these “illegal migrants” had to flee from.
A slight majority of the population agreeing in this dehumanising statements of Merz does not make it morally correct.
Well, alright Germans, enjoy your demographic collapse 👋
Make racial profiling great again?

Ok. Anyways..
A extremely important addition to that point is that the survey used his explanation from a week after where he softened his tone by a lot and not his original take for the question!
When quality of life is deteriorating, of course. The country somehow managed to suppress skill migration with little to no incentives to attract highly skilled workers. And at the same time import hundreds of thousand of unproductive, badly integrated migrants who put strain on the system. The statistics speak for themselves. Majority of people living of benefits are not German passport holders, likewise most of the drug addicts and shoplifter. When economic problems are more pressing, people get frustrated and easily turned to focus on such issues. Reforms need to be made so there is some accountability for repeated abusers of the system, right now there’s little no none.
Germany is weird, they absolutely are lacking educated professionals but if you are one from a 3rd country the process to get hired is long and slow. You cannot do it yourself, the company that wants to hire you has to do it, so of course many companies don´t even bother.
They make it hard for the people that would actually contribute to society and make it easy for anyone that claims to be a refugee.
Well, until recently that they started a program that lets people with sought after degrees an experience to get a kind of open work/residence permit, that the foreigner can apply for themselves without needing to be sponsored. Or not completely sponsored.
If more than half support it, how is it controversial? Regardless of where you stand in the immigration discussion, we have to face that this kind of journalism is moronic…
Holy hell where did you get that figure of 63%? Fortunately most of these agreement polls are pretty nonconclusive or represenrative, or have been in the past at least
Ive yet to meet moren then 3 people that are agreeing with him and his disgusting views on migrants and women (sad to say those 3 are my family)
It was racist af. Thats about it.
That means it’s really not controversial at all… Its more of a “duh”.
63% of the people interviewed for Politbarometer, which in this case was 1.038 people
>Die Umfrage zum Politbarometer wurde wie immer von der Mannheimer Forschungsgruppe Wahlen durchgeführt. Die 1.272 Interviews wurden in der Zeit vom 21. bis zum 23. Oktober 2025 erhoben. Zusätzlich wurde ein Politbarometer-Extra zum Thema “Stadtbild” am 23. Oktober 2025 mit 1.038 Interviews realisiert.

Seeing how polarised the wider issue (and the political system as a whole) is, Merz carefully vague remarks will keep enraging the proponents of liberal migration politics while appearing half-hearted and opportunistic to the opponents of a liberal migration politics. He’s not gonna satisfy anyone with this.
Anyone with two eyes in their head recognizes what has happened in our streets over the past ten years, and his statement was never directed against people based on their skin color, nor against foreigners in general, or anything else. These were all baseless accusations by leftists. He later clarified that it wasn’t about foreigners in general, but that we need foreigners in Germany and that the parts of our country are
Leave my drug dealers alone. I don’t see any white boys willing to deliver cocaine at 4 am on a Sunday.
Did he finally realize that the only way to stop AfD from gaining power is to tackle issues caused by mass immigration? I think he did.
1. What is this source?
2. His initial statement was vague enough for anyone to interpret it the way they see fit. Heck, only 18% have bigger problems with refugees in their neighborhood and 66% feel safe in public places.
3. Of those asked, the youngest U35 years old disagree and he used “ask your daughter” as an argument.
4. We don’t know who of those disagreeing actually live in a city or regulary are in a city. We just had a report of how skewed the reporting is about crimes based in their nationality in Germany.
Y’all really need to learn how to put statistics into context and not taking it for face value
