On immigration, Boris Palmer has a hard time going against the left

After the election comes before the election. What this means: The results of the European elections could be the emotional image for the upcoming vote in the east of the country this autumn.

die Alternative for Germany Winning across the board, green The decline has been dramatic. This is especially true for the youngest – those under 25 have a loss of minus 23%. After all, party leader Ricarda Lang has realized: “This cannot go on!”

The Chancellor says deport now – how does that work?

exist ARD-The “Maischberger” speech was about immigration – a major topic in the recent elections. What does German Chancellor Olaf Scholz have to say about this? Criminals should be quickly deported, even if they come from Syria and Afghanistan. He said, the chancellor. The question arises:

Negotiating with the Taliban. How is that supposed to work? Negotiating with Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad. How is that supposed to work?

In any case, this time there was no mention of Scholz’s verbal anti-tank weapon – the bazooka.

Boris Palmer of “Maischberger” softens stance

We saw the mayor of Tübingen, Boris Palmer, in the first evening speech. Palmer was a member of the Green Party until 2023. After a very unpleasant internal debate, he voluntarily resigned.

After the European elections, Palmer made a rather clear statement in the media. Young people in Germany experience “what irregular immigration means” every day. Green “awakening” is not popular. The Green Party will convince young voters that “you are the problem.”

But unfortunately, “Maischberger” shows a very softened version of Boris Palmer.For Boris Palmer, “first appearance” means: pink suit, white sneakers, shiny white shirt to appear in “Maischberger”.

Could someone please tell Mr. Palmer that this pale pink suit is only for people over 50 who want to look good in a club for over 30s – maybe just that? Like Raspberry Tony from Ländle.

Deporting people? Leftist Janine Wissler says it’s impossible

In terms of content, Palmer remains colorless in “Meschberg”. He has a combative partner at his side, Janine Wissler from the left. The left is not a successful party now, especially since Sarah Wagenknecht has been doing her own thing respectably from the beginning.

But Wiesler took advantage of the opportunity at ARD. She has her own views on immigration, which she expressed passionately: “You can’t deport people preventively. We put people under general suspicion.”

School violence? Protect human rights!

Palmer tried. “There’s violence in the schools, and the doctors are getting worse?” No appointments. Apartments? Not available. Palmer said his city had 1,000 social housing units but 180,000 refugees.

Wiesler continues to rely on left-wing enthusiasm. “Young immigrants need to have their own perspective here,” she said, adding: “We must defend human rights!” She is experiencing “the erosion of asylum rights.”

Pink Palmer is trying. But he doesn’t seem to have big ambitions in ARD’s Maischberger. Some people who come to Germany are violent, he says. “But we won’t solve our problems with the law of the fist,” he says, also involving killings police in Mannheim. “We have to intervene earlier,” he concluded.

Anyone doing business will be deported – anyone doing business will not be found

This is an interesting aspect, says Palmer, which even the leftist Wiesler could not refute in his ARD speech “Maischberger”: the wrong people are being deported. For example, care workers, craftsmen. Why this? “Those who work will be found out. You won’t meet drug dealers in the park.” He has a point.

Rosa-Boris also said one more thing at the end of the show: “I am green at heart!” Maybe we will get together again. But one thing is also clear: “I will not go to the Sahra Wagenknecht.” She is also not pink, but red.
