Angela Merkel advocates more migration in order to close job gaps caused by the reluctance of local workers.
Merkel defies criticism: More openness for migrants is urgently needed!
Angela Merkel, the former Chancellor, is back with a bang! In an interview she makes a shocking statement: She calls for more migrants because, according to her, “many who have lived here for many generations” are not willing to work on weekends or provide certain services. This remarkable statement gives the debate about skilled immigration a new, heated direction. Although Merkel's migration policy has long been criticized and is considered controversial by many, she remains undeterred on her course for more openness. Apollo News reported in detail about Merkel's steep theses and her vision for Germany's future.
But why these renewed calls for more migration? Merkel sees the reason as a kind of work fatigue among the local population. “After Corona, there is a reluctance to work, especially on weekends,” she explained unabashedly. Entire service areas could no longer be maintained without immigration, said the former Chancellor. She warns: Openness to skilled workers must continue to exist in order not to make Germany look like an “unfriendly” country.
Return of the migration debate
Merkel's statements come at a sensitive time, as the discussion about migration is heating up again. Surveys show that more than 70 percent of Germans view their 2015 migration policy with skepticism. Nevertheless, Merkel tours talk shows and interviews, shares her memories and steadfastly defends her controversial course. Mistakes from her reign? She doesn't want to hear about it!
While some applaud, others see this as another sign of “state failure” – a harsh term but one that is becoming increasingly loud on social media. x.com reports about the emerging criticism and the accusation that Merkel wanted to shift responsibility for integration problems with this policy.
What's next?
What remains is the burning question: How should Germany deal with migration in the future? Will new measures be found that both promote immigration and strengthen local work ethic? What is certain is that the debate about migration and attitudes to work culture continues and is dividing the nation. Merkel's new initiative has the potential to reignite discussions and initiate a broad debate about the future of Germany.
