Almost two thirds of Germans refuse to accept more migrants

A clear majority of Germans reject taking in more migrants. A recent survey showed that 62,5 percent are of the opinion that Germany should not accept any more "refugees" in view of the increasing number of refugees worldwide. Some 28 percent answered yes to a corresponding question.

Published: June 20, 2021, 11:46 am

    The poll by the opinion research institute Civey on behalf of Diakonie Deutschland is striking in its clarity: Those who answered no, were 47,3 percent of the 5000 respondents who said “no, definitely not” and 15,2 percent said “rather not”. On the other hand, 14,4 percent said “yes, definitely” and 13,2 percent said “more or less yes”.

    According to the majority, integration has failed

    A large majority also view integration with scepticism. When asked whether the immigrants of the past ten years have been well received in German society, 57,8 percent said “no, definitely not” or “rather no”. By contrast, 12,5 percent ticked “yes, definitely” or “rather yes”. Almost 28 percent said “partly/partly”, the rest “don’t know”. The percentage of yes was above average, especially among students, while the self-employed, pensioners and employees tend to view integration as a failure.

    Diakonie President Ulrich Lilie said that the results did not surprise him, but sobered him. “Obviously, the majority of Germans do not perceive and describe the admission of refugees and their integration as a success story. Not everyone who is critical of migration is right-wing extremist. But without this sounding board, the terrible right-wing simplifiers with their ‘we-or-you’ logic would have a much harder time making political profit from it.”

    Criticism of EU external border controls

    Lilie called on politicians to think about integration, education and social policy together. Migrants must be integrated in their immediate environment. “We also have to make the successful integration stories audible and turn Germany into the country of immigration, telling everyone that it is, in fact, a positive experience. It takes these good stories to let the either-or-narratives become quieter.” In a press release, Diakonie criticized the controls at the EU’s external borders, which were referred to as “so-called ‘protection'”.

    The number of asylum applications rose by almost 120 percent in May 2021 compared to the same month last year. Something similar can be observed in the Mediterranean, through which significantly more immigrants came to Europe than in previous years.

    A study by the University of Munster came to the conclusion that European societies, including German societies, were divided in terms of identity policy. One aspect is therefore immigration, which is seen as an opportunity by some parties and viewed with scepticism by the others.

    The Diakonie is supported by the Protestant Church, which apparently wanted to democratically legitimize its demand for the admission of more asylum seekers on the occasion of the “World Refugee Day” on June 20. But their effort has backfired because as a result of the survey, it would be democratically legitimate to stop admission.

    This sentiment is particularly noteworthy against the background of the long-term multi-cultural propaganda unleashed on the German public by the mass media, churches, trade unions and other organizations. The ideology and practice of open borders is clearly the agenda of a minority among the people who circumvent the will of the people with anti-democratic methods – defamation, contempt, secret service infiltration, professional bans and, in particular, the synchronization of pro-migration messaging in the mainstream press.

    Lilie has apparently understood that his organization has scored a propagandistic own goal with the Civey survey. As a consequence of the mood, he called for a tightening of the popular educational thumbscrews and declared the majority of the population to be an instinct-driven precariat: “Anyone who feels socially threatened, sees no perspective for themselves and their children, lives at or below the subsistence level, closes down inside more quickly – even with refugees.”

    Respect for the will of the majority of the population does not concern Lilie, who explained: “Taking in more refugees remains one of the most important tasks for one of the richest countries.”

    Why must Germany take in more people?

    A young German man who works for a car manufacturer meanwhile told Tichy’s Einblick what the real situation was regarding employment: “You simply can’t find any more people in Germany. The baby boomers who have dominated the market up to now are now going into retirement in large numbers. You cannot replace them.

    “Of course there are still young people in the triangle Hannover Braunschweig Wolfsburg. But they are no longer Germans, like the baby boomers who have so far made up the core of the companies. But they hardly had any children. Mostly it is now Turks, North Africans, Kosovars, Caucasians, Eritreans, the ‘refugees’ since 2015, who came and settled there. But you can’t do anything with uneducated applicants.

    “You need skilled workers, mechatronics technicians, cutting machine operators, locksmiths, the entire range of precision industry. They train people, there are enough apprenticeship positions, but they have neither the time nor the money to re-teach the entire school education since the third grade.

    “You need people who, even as apprentices with 1000 net, and are ready to start the morning shift at 6:30 am, every day. Who comes on time and knows what that means. Who can do without a smartphone for at least 5 minutes, understand the instructions in German, are even ready to actually work. They understand that the lowered Golf GTI with Brembo titanium exhaust is only available after several successful years as an employee, and not at 19 after three months of temporary work.”

    In Saxony-Anhalt, he said, the few young German men without a high school diploma adapt to the migrants in appearance, jargon and living conditions. The migrants themselves have not adapted to German life at all. For that reason, car manufacturers are relocating to Eastern Europe where the work ethic and education are still good.

    DESTRUCTIVE HAILSTORMS will become more frequent and violent with increasingly larger hail, predicted solar researcher Valentina Zharkova back in 2019 when she stated that it's one of many signs of an impending Grand Solar Minimum. This is exactly what we have witnessed this year in both Europe and the world. Here is the German town of Benediktbeuern in Bavaria after a hailstorm on August 26th. Almost all rooftops and cars were damaged. The centuries-old church and monastery were damaged for the first time ever. Interestingly, the monastery was rebuilt in 1699 during the Maunder Minimum. Combined with heavy rainfall, extreme weather will devastate a significant portion of our food production. For instance, heavy rainfall destroyed a quarter of all crops in Greece in just two days in September. However, mainstream media remains silent. Photo: X @safe0007/Sandor Feher

    NOAA Predicts Zero Sunspots for Almost the Whole 2030s

    CLIMATEThe United States' government scientific organization, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), predicts zero sunspots from 2031 to 2040. This is an extreme situation that has not occurred in as long as humanity has been counting sunspots, and it leads us into uncharted territory in terms of our solar system. However, this prediction aligns with the warnings of the world-renowned solar researcher Valentina Zharkova for many years, who indicated in 2019 various signs of this catastrophic phenomenon, including the extreme hailstorms we have seen in Europe and the world this summer. The forecast and various observations this year give cause for very significant concern. In this unique analysis, Free West Media explains why.

    NATIONALIST COLLABORATION TAKES SHAPE. Six parties met in Budapest on August 26th to sign a joint declaration confirming the friendship and political unity among the parties. The goal is to either form a new group in the European Parliament after the EU elections in June next year or to reconstitute the existing Identity and Democracy (ID) group with the new parties.

    European Nationalist Parties Forge Cooperation Ahead of EU Elections

    EUROPEAN ELECTIONSOn Saturday, August 26, representatives of six European nationalist parties gathered in Budapest. The meeting was initiated by the Hungarian party Mi Hazánk and took place in the national parliament. Representatives of the parties signed a joint declaration that not only reaffirms the parties' friendship but also their unity on a range of complex political issues. A surprisingly clear and radical manifesto was established. The hope is that this cooperation will lead to success in the EU elections and eventually result in the formation of a group in the European Parliament. For Swedish nationalism, this meeting marks a success as Sweden, for the first time, has a party represented in a leading nationalist cooperation in Europe. Free West Media was present at this historic event.

    Swedish Weapon Takes Down Russia’s Best Attack Helicopter

    The Russian attack helicopter Ka-52 is considered one of the world's best and has struck fear in Ukraine, where it has hunted down tanks and other armored vehicles, often beyond the range of many light anti-aircraft systems. However, it has met its match in the Swedish air defense missile system RBS 70, which has quickly led to significant losses for the Russian helicopter forces.

    The Sun Drives Earth’s Climate, Not Carbon Dioxide

    Top Researchers Push Back Against Climate Lies."The correlation is as clear as day," explained the Israeli astrophysicist Nir Shaviv, who was hailed by the establishment, before his interview with Forbes was hastily deleted. What he says contradicts the climate narrative, which points to humans as responsible for Earth's climate. Shaviv firmly asserts that it is the sun that controls the climate, something that can be scientifically proven in many ways. Contrary to the popular belief, the sun's influence on Earth has, in recent years, caused unusually cold and rainy weather, a trend that solar researchers warn will worsen significantly in the coming decades. The sun has exhibited an unusually low activity since 2016, during Solar Cycle 24, which was the weakest in a century.

    Alternative for Germany held its conference during the last weekend of July in the thousand-year-old city of Magdeburg, located by the Elbe River in the eastern German state of Saxony. The first of the two conference days began with a strong program speech by the party's male spokesperson. Subsequently, party officials were elected and motions were addressed. The second day was entirely devoted to candidate selection and positioning for the EU election in June next year. Screenshot: AfD on Facebook

    Strong Confidence in German AfD

    Alternative for Germany (AfD) held a party conference on July 29-30 to select candidates for the upcoming EU election next year. EU Parliament member Maximilian Krah, belonging to the party's more radical, ethnonationalist faction, was appointed as the top candidate. The party's two spokespersons delivered powerful speeches criticizing the EU's failed migration policy and trade sanctions that isolate Europe and Germany from the rest of the world. They argued that it's time for the EU to return a significant portion of its power to national parliaments. However, they have dropped the demand for Germany to exit the EU.

    Maximilian Krah is one of the AfD politicians who is singled out as an ethnonationalist, as he has stated that there is a distinction between ethnic Germans and immigrants who have obtained German citizenship. Krah is a Member of the European Parliament and AfD's top candidate for the upcoming European Union election next year. Still image: AfD on Facebook

    The Establishment Wants to Ban Germany’s Second Largest Party – for the Sake of Democracy

    The rising popularity of AfD has raised strong concerns within the establishment. Despite lies and demonization in the media and isolation from the overall political establishment, the party continues to grow. Certain representatives of the party are accused of becoming increasingly "extreme," and in an unusual move, the influential weekly newspaper Der Spiegel demanded that AfD be "banned."

    FvD was quick to support the protests against covid restrictions. Today, the party also stands behind the farmers protests against the governments’ plans to close a big portion of the farms in the country for the sake of “climate”.
