The “shift to the right”, but also, in reality, towards the non-immigrationist left, of Sahra Wagenknecht is easily explained with this impressive graph of immigration into the Eurozone since 2013 divided by country. As you can see the Germany It has absorbed 6 million migrants or immigrants, if you like, almost half of the total.
For comparison, the France had a smaller population than Germany, but only by about 22% in 2013, it absorbed just over a million immigrants. It is also seen the Spain with a population that is just over half that of France it has absorbed double (the French) and Italy even more than France both in absolute terms and in percentage terms. It is therefore not apparently a question of an “EU policy” that is applied, given that France for example has much lower numbers and Germany, if we look at the proportions, more than triple. The phenomenon ofmass immigration in the last ten years it has been even more accentuated in Canada, Australia, the UK and the United States than in Europe, but Germany, if we look at the proportions, is in line with the “Anglo” countries and differs from the rest of Europe in terms of the breadth of its “welcome”.
But as we also know, in their electoral programs no party has ever promised or foreseen or spoken of allowing, for example, 6 million immigrants to enter Germany (and smaller, but still high figures in other countries, given that the total is 14 million in 10 years).
Even the return of flame of Trump as you can easily read, it is essentially linked to the theme of uncontrolled immigration promoted by the Democratic government, in fact we are talking about 7 million illegal immigrants since Biden came to power in 2020, to which is then added a legal immigration of millions more (for example from India with the famous H1B work visas). Perhaps people do not realize that in recent years there has been an acceleration of immigration in Western countries, for example in Canada there are now 427 Indian “students”, who arrive in Canada with a student visa and then almost always stay. And in the UK with Brexit immigration has accelerated and almost all from Pakistan, India and the Middle East. However, in English-speaking countries, apart from Trump who has built a large part of his electoral campaigns on immigration, no party takes it as an essential theme.
The interesting thing about Germany now is that the issue of immigration, which would be a winning one, is being brought forward by both the right and the left. If they could find a common platformsuch as Kennedy and the Democrats he brings with him and Trump now, could win.
