German Voters Demonstrate Frustration With Migration Crisis

The German chancellor’s party loses ground in weekend elections.

The significance of the migration swell in Europe is more than just finding housing for those fleeing hostility in the Middle East. It also has major cultural and societal implications, as we’ve seen in the mass sexual assaults perpetrated by malicious “refugees.” This weekend, German voters signaled to Chancellor Angela Merkel that they’ve just about had enough of their lives being uprooted — especially when these individuals are not being vetted. According to The Washington Post:

The upstart Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, a populist force that campaigned on an anti-migrant, anti-Merkel platform — and which drew support from the left as well as the right — scored big gains. It landed 24.4 percent of the vote in one of the three states that went to the ballot box, according to projections based on exit polls produced for the German public broadcaster ARD. The outcome amounted to a blow to Merkel just as the chancellor is set to fight this week for a new accord between the European Union and Turkey on the refugee crisis. It would stop the illegal flow of migrants across the Aegean Sea, but also compel reluctant European nations, including Germany, to take in more Syrian asylum seekers from Turkey.

Analysts suggest the election won’t do much to sway Merkel’s agenda. Mainz University’s Jürgen Falter remarked, “When it comes to the refugee crisis, Merkel might change her tone, but not her politics. She seems to be so utterly convinced of her strategy that I do not expect her to do anything different, unless her European partners force her to.” But one thing is clear: Both in America and Europe, voter sentiment is the same — our leaders let in a bunch of Syrian refugees willy nilly, and now they are paying a steep political price.
