Study on voting behaviour: When no party is eligible for electionEine neue Studie des Deutschen Zentrums für Integrations- und Migrationsforschung (DeZIM) untersucht, wie sich die Wählbarkeit politischer Parteien für Wähler*innen mit Migrationshintergrund entwickelt hat. Die Forscher*innen verglichen Befragungen aus den Wintermonaten 2023/24 und 2024/25 und stellten fest, dass die Wählbarkeit aller untersuchten Parteien (SPD, CDU/CSU, Grüne, FDP, Linke und AfD) bei diesen Wähler*innen im Vergleich zum Vorjahr deutlich sank. Besonders stark wurde der Rückgang in der Gruppe von Menschen mit Bezug zur MENA-Region und zur Türkei beobachtet. Obwohl die AfD in einigen Gruppen als wählbarer wahrgenommen wird, wird sie insgesamt am stärksten abgelehnt. Die Studie betont, dass die Ergebnisse nicht auf tatsächliche Abstimmungsentscheidungen vorhersagen, sondern lediglich die Wahrnehmung der Wählbarkeit reflektieren.

Die ZeitIndependentCenterFactual 85Objective 802 days agoEine Studie des Deutschen Zentrums für Integrations- und Migrationsforschung (DeZIM) zeigt, dass Wähler mit Einwanderungsgeschichte zunehmend von deutschen Parteien abgeschreckt werden. Insbesondere Wähler mit türkischen oder arabischen Wurzeln zeigen einen Rückgang der Unterstützung für traditionelle Parteien wie CDU/CSU und SPD. Die AfD erzielt bei dieser Wählerschaft im Vergleich zu anderen Parteien schlechtere Ergebnisse, außer bei Menschen mit Wurzeln in ehemaligen Sowjetstaaten, wo sie besser angenommen werden. Die Studie betont, dass die Wähler mit Einwanderungsgeschichte im Winter 2024/2025 weniger bereit sind, bestimmte Parteien zu wählen als ein Jahr zuvor.

Bitterfeld-Wolfen: I am fully motivatedJanina Hampel, a resident of Bitterfeld-Wolfen, organizes protests against the monthly AfD demonstration on the town square. She is motivated by a desire to show societal openness and counter the influence of far-right politics. The protest, organized under the network 'Zukunft. Miteinander gestalten!', has drawn around 350 people, including local musicians, despite fears of backlash from the community. Hampel recounts personal experiences with neo-Nazi threats in the 1990s and highlights ongoing concerns about hate speech today. Bitterfeld-Wolfen, once known for heavy industrial pollution during the DDR era, now faces challenges related to migration rhetoric and social cohesion. Despite economic improvements, the area still grapples with the legacy of environmental degradation and the impact of political polarization.

CORRECTIVIndependentConservativeFactual 60Objective 502 days agoThe AfD Youth Congress in Magdeburg, under its new name 'Generation Deutschland,' was marked by traditionalist symbols like Eichenlaub (oak leaves), short haircuts, suits, and a lack of female participation. The event aimed to showcase the group's strength ahead of the election campaign but revealed internal ideological conflicts over issues such as Europe and migration policies. One proposal regarding Europe had to be withdrawn due to overly critical content. Prominent figures like René Aust, leader of the AfD faction in the European Parliament, praised the supposed beauty associated with an AfD victory, referencing imagery of blonde women in white dresses and German ceramics celebrated by right-wing bloggers. Meanwhile, speeches included aggressive rhetoric promoting a homogeneous national identity, with some speakers using derogatory terms against modern Germany and advocating for population reduction and stricter immigration controls.

Germany: How to woo voters with an immigrant backgroundA study by the German Center for Integration and Migration Research (DeZIM) reveals that German voters with an immigrant background are increasingly turning away from traditional centrist parties. In 2023, 12% of eligible voters in Germany had an immigration background, totaling over seven million people. The study found that the center-left Social Democratic Party (SPD) remains the most appealing option for this group, with two-thirds considering it a viable choice. The center-right CDU/CSU follows closely, while the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) has minimal appeal, with nearly two-thirds rejecting it outright. The AfD, however, has attempted to engage immigrant voters through targeted messaging, such as using imagery linking to historical figures like Atatürk. Immigrant communities, particularly those from Turkey, the Middle East, and North Africa, show strong rejection of the AfD, although the party has some support among Russia-related migrant groups. Concerns around safety and integration remain significant issues affecting voter sentiment.

Germany-Liveblog: SPD politicians support push for AfD ban on Pistorius and ÖzdemirThe article discusses remarks made by Jean Pascal Hohm, leader of the 'Generation Deutschland' (GD) group, during a conference where he addressed Germany's political landscape. Hohm highlighted the potential for the AfD to make history in Saxony-Anhalt by possibly taking on governmental responsibility for the first time. He praised the GD's efforts and membership growth, while criticizing attacks against them, such as those at the 'Day of German Youth' event in Schwerin.

Die WeltIndependent🔒CenterFactual 20Objective 6516 hr. agoThe article features a political exchange between politician Schulze and his AfD (Alternative für Deutschland) challenger, where Schulze questions the definition of 'kulturfremd' (foreign to culture). The conversation appears to be part of a campaign debate, highlighting ideological differences between Schulze and his opponent. The term 'kulturfremd' is often used in German politics to describe individuals or groups perceived as outsiders to the national culture, typically associated with immigration or cultural change. The discussion reflects broader political tensions around identity, migration, and cultural integration in Germany.

Afd in Saxony-Anhalt: also pick up the village NaziThe article discusses the rise of the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party by leveraging public sentiment against restrictions on free speech, particularly regarding migration and crime. It notes that while the AfD positions itself as a defender of free speech, it only defends its own views, mirroring its leftist opponents. The piece criticizes the party’s rhetoric, calling it vulgar and lowbrow, and suggests that such language reflects a broader trend within the party. Specifically, it references the speech of AfD leader Martin Reichardt in Saxony-Anhalt, where he used derogatory terms for immigrants and other groups, which the author deems inappropriate and indicative of the party’s values.
Bias read (Progressive): The article frames the AfD's rhetoric as vulgar and lacking substance, criticizing its use of offensive language and suggesting it represents a regression into populism.

Why parties are losing voters with migrant backgroundsThe article reports on a study by the German Center for Integration and Migration Research (DeZIM), which highlights growing distance between political parties and voters with migration backgrounds ahead of regional and local elections in Germany. The study finds that these voters are increasingly disengaged from mainstream parties like the CDU/CSU, SPD, and Greens, though the SPD still holds the largest share of their support. The AfD faces strong rejection among migrants, particularly those from Turkey, the Middle East, and North Africa. The article notes that while the AfD has historically targeted migrant communities through culturally relevant messaging, other parties have failed to engage them effectively. It also mentions efforts by the Turkish Community in Germany to mobilize voters but points out that security concerns for migrants remain under-addressed.
Bias read (Center): The article presents findings from a research study without overtly endorsing any particular political stance.
