A new OECD study has found Germany is successfully integrating migrants despite obstacles such as migrants often having little education.

A new OECD study has found Germany is successfully integrating migrants despite obstacles such as migrants often having little education.

If you were to listen to many in Germany, you would think the country’s integration of migrants and asylum seekers was going rather poorly. But a new study by the 38-member Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) shows that isn’t the case.

Despite a number of challenges — such as further education and training — Germany is doing a better job than many of its European neighbors when it comes to integrating new arrivals, the study finds.

    Far right voters are unfortunately not exclusively living outside of cities. Especially in Berlin, where the Nazi attack happened, the “conservative” CDU won the elections after saying police should publish the names of juvenile suspects, so that the public could judge, whether they are “real Germans” or “only German citizens”. And the “social democrat” SPD in Berlin threw away a majority coalition with Green and Left party to become junior under the CDU. More than half of the people in Berlin voted fascist AfD, far-right CDU or center-right SPD with these three parties.

    If you want to look at Munich, similiar story with the even further right bavarian CSU and FW, where having a past as holocaust celebrator gets you votes instead of costing them. Look at Hamburg, where the SPD Pimmelminister of the interior sends out the police to harass people with raids, after they already admitted to the “crime” of calling him a Pimmel on Twitter.

    Look at the Sylt-Videos where in the upper class rich peoples holiday resort they chanted “Deutschland den Deutschen, Ausländer raus” (Germany the Germans, foreigners out) and proudly posted it on social media.

    It is not a problem exclusive to rural areas. It is a huge problem in all of Germany. It is a huge problem in all parts of German society, no matter the income, education, or population density.
