Submission statement: Slopulism from the most unpopular Western leader. Of course this doesn’t make much sense as only 60% of Syrians in Germany are neither German citizens or permanent residents, so 80% wasn’t happening anyway. Also:
“After the latest bout of criticism, the chancellor sought to downplay his statement. The 80 percent figure, he explained, had previously been put forward by al-Sharaa, while Merz himself remained “aware of the scale of the task.” Al-Sharaa later denied that claim, however, telling an audience in London that, “I did not say this. It was said by others, by the chancellor.””
So he’s just lying and blaming other people for what he said, very strange behaviour.
“The SPD’s Hakan Demir, a lawmaker who focuses on migration, called the back-and-forth unserious. “[Merz] just throws things out there, and then he takes them back later,” he told POLITICO. “There’s a strategy behind it. He wants to stir things up and maybe also show the electorate that he’s the tough guy.””
Considering the CDU is in coalition with SPD, maybe they should’ve asked them first to confirm a more realistic number of people to deport (although I disagree with the deportations, anyway).
“Merz’s spokesperson Stefan Kornelius on Wednesday tried to mitigate the chancellor’s earlier comments, saying the government was aiming to return those who didn’t work or weren’t well integrated.”
Which is far, far less than the 80% he said, closer to 35% as this would suggest those who are not naturalised citizens, nor permanent residents and are not working.

I wonder what will finally end this right-wing slopulism. It’ll end eventually, probably in the next several years. I wonder what will be the event that does it in (assuming it’s not a series of events).
