Merz: Muslim migrants rejecting Germany’s Holocaust responsibility should leave
German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said Germany’s historical responsibility for the Holocaust also applies to people arriving from Muslim-majority countries, and that those who do not accept it should leave the country.
German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said Muslim migrants who do not accept Germany’s historical responsibility for the Holocaust should not remain in the country. He made the remarks during a reception in Berlin for Jewish athletes.
Merz said: “Our country’s historical responsibility applies equally to those arriving in Germany from Muslim-majority countries. Anyone who does not accept it must leave our country.”
Merz recalled a speech delivered by former German President Richard von Weizsäcker before the Bundestag in 1985, stressing that this approach applies to German society as a whole. He added: “I see these words as an enduring principle, and I would like to add, given today’s circumstances, that this responsibility also applies to migrants arriving in Germany.”
Germany is home to one of Europe’s largest Muslim communities, including around 3 million people of Turkish origin, as well as large numbers of migrants and refugees from Syria, Iraq and other Arab countries.
