🇩🇪 Steinmeier admits it: Immigration “costs strength/power” – but allegedly Germany cannot do without it

Federal President Frank-Walter Steinmeier delivered a major speech on migration. The main point is the familiar one: Germany needs immigration so that hospitals, nursing homes, and companies can function.

At the same time, Steinmeier, for the first time, admitted with unusual openness the other side of the process: mass immigration demands great efforts from locals and from the municipalities. He called for problems not to be covered up and for the fears of citizens to be taken seriously.

An interesting concession, especially after a decade in which practically every discussion about the costs of migration policy was too easily turned into a conversation about “right” and “wrong” views.

Schools are overwhelmed, housing is lacking, municipal budgets are coming under pressure, integration courses are overcrowded – and now it turns out that all of it actually “costs strength/power”.
