Refugees worried at rise of Germany’s far-right AfD party ahead of regional elections • FRANCE 24
The eastern German regions of Saxony and Thuringia are holding elections this coming Sunday and the far-right AfD party is ahead in the polls. Its leaders are proposing a raft of measures designed to limit immigration and the arrival of more asylum seekers in their regions. If they win power, they are vowing to implement “zero immigration” and a deleterious atmosphere for those who are already in Germany and well integrated. Some 37,000 Syrians are currently in Saxony, with almost 55,000 in Thuringia. As anti-immigrant sentiment grows in Germany, with towns complaining that capacity is already overstretched, some refugees are wondering if they are still welcome. FRANCE 24’s Anne Mailliet and John Laurenson report.

Hooray for Germany. Get these people out and be the leaders of Europe, as you always should have been
If you immigrate to other country and they welcome you well , you must behave in good way . Respect their people, their culture and their religion. Integrate into their society. Don't force your own culture, religion or your own way to the people of the country. If you do these of course they will hate you and turn against you.
Boo hoo
Go back to your desert
Yes, Germany needs immigrants, but we have to be able to be honest.
Islam and the west do not mix. There are enough people from cultures that are more compatable.
We’re so back
1:45. I think she’ll be fine. She seems to have integrated and is becoming a German. There will be compromise and many will be able to stay if they’re a net contributor.
Good. Get 'em out.
She’s no Frauke Petry but the immigration issue has been out of control.
Save Europe!!!
Title needs to be corrected – 'Illegal' immigrants should be worried. Or perhaps you don't like the meaning 'legal'. Democracy speaks…suck it up, or stay in your woke bubble.
What a coincidence. Germans are worried about the rise of refugees 😂
Interesting how these outlets always preach about needing more immigrants, but they only talk about immigrants from middle eastern countries. Why aren’t they covering Polish, Ukrainian, or other more western immigrants?
Every illegal living any part of this world should fear in living in that country illegally. What is big deal in this. This is leftist propaganda now people is aware of this so called propaganda and now they showing them their true face
Am proud of Germany now.
Why do these Africans, Arabs etc come to Europe when most Europeans don't want them here
Extreme left let in millions of refugees in to the country and made a mess of it. This has given chance tobthe rise of far right who are for germans for germany and not refugees who outsiders and not germans.
Stop giving them a free social money 💰
I always thought the refugees are oppressed people, scattered around the world because of their national political/economic situations. Why would they be worried about a political party in Germany?
Iead the way for the rest of europe
2015 ? No speak German or English? 9 years 😮
Herzog Crossing
So you never worried about illegal activities of these illegals
Refugees could go to Saudi and Qatar, the very rich countries
The Syrian lady you picked is hardly a common example of migrant women
But They use different forms of racism in their homeland. 🤦🏽♂️ the only difference is They lost the battle and had to flee to the E.U. Yet the are going to push the victim card instead of embracing the culture of their new home. 🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️ this is wild to me
Kharma for colonisers
Alice Vydelle, sure, buddy 😂
Refugees by definition are people that flee states of emergency to the nearest safe country. I'll just leave that there.

If the AfD is Far Right, what is the CDU and the German Government?
Far Left?
Real Refugees should not worry too much.
Illegale Immigration is a serious problem.
Specially the Green Party is very democratic
If they are so worried why don’t they stop crime, start working, start fallowing the laws and stop trying to change Saxony to the country they left behind.
Fff
If muslim wants to follow their religion, go to muslim country.
Germans worried about the rise of refugees! (Fixed the title for you)
If you don't want to be deported don't fo crime ans work for Germany , learn german, integrate yourself donot do Jihad and rape women
Discrimination will always exist even from own families.
But if you say you are unsafe in Germany, then why do you still stay??
