      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 🙂

      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.

      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.

      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)

      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.

    24. Mazzle5 on

      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

      „However, only 18% of respondents said refugees cause issues in their neighbourhood, with some 74% stating that they have not noted any significant problems or none at all.“

      Who would have thought that important facts would be left out of the headline. We are dealing with the situation where people who live in cities for some time, in so-called disadvantaged districts, usually do not perceive their district as a problem. The assessment of the area as a problem tends to come from people who move in from rural areas or suburbs and struggle with the fact that they are no longer surrounded almost exclusively by 60-year-old white people.

      Rightwing edgelord time. Just repeating talking points till everyone believes its true.
      You are not smart believing in hearsay let me tell you.

    27. elementfortyseven on

      yeah, 1000 people contacted mostly over landlines.

      Politbarometer is for the most part a boomer survey. it is semi ok for large scale trends like federal elections. in such detail questions, its methodology fails, as it doesnt capture the breadth of german society

      The comment section shies why this was posted and how fabricated the narrative is. You can never even remotely appear organic, even if your life depended on it

    31. Lycrist_Kat on

      The poll used for this data is nonsense. It’s not using the controversial comments Merz made, it’s using a much less controversial version of what he said.

    32. Philipje on

      Controversial, lmao. It’s malignant at this point to ignore the absolute destruction letting in tens and tens and tens of millions of people uncontrolled at this point. There is a policeman who vlogs his daily shifts in my city and uploads it on YouTube. I am not even kidding, that in the last 20-30 videos maybe a handful of native people have been causing trouble. It are almost always either unwanted foreigners, Syrians, Turks, Moroccans, or Poles. Every. Single. Time.

    34. No-Temperature7753 on

      It seems like Europe and other western countries need to rewrite rules on Asylum or create a mechanism for enforcement. There needs to be an agency like interpol that polices asylum cases. It seems the system no longer works in the 21st century as it was designed for 1945. 

    35. nico17611 on

      the question was asked very badly. They wanted to muddy the waters. The comments were racist. Merz is struggling to even keep the backing of his own party
