District Administrator Seefeldt warns: Differentiated handling of the AfD required!
In his speech at the district reception, the District Administrator Dietmar Seefeldt called for a differentiated way of dealing with the AfD in his speech at the district reception. He appealed to the citizens of critically looking at the political factions and their content. This is done against the background that the AfD is represented in the district council and in the municipalities, which is increasingly shaping the political landscape in the district. Seefeldt criticized AfD's generalizations in terms of migration and crime and emphasized the responsibility of the media to spread clear information about the party. Current reports show that a significant part of the foreign suspects in Germany have no permanent residence and that the crime rates are strongly associated with social burden.The district administrator pointed out that the Democrats are responsible for defending their values. "The contradictions of the AfD should be uncovered," Seefeldt continued. His demand is supported by the assessment of Mika Beuster, the chairman of the German Association of Journalists, who described the AfD as no normal party in the democratic spectrum. Seefeldt emphasized that the ethnic, racist and right -wing extremist views of this party must be emphasized more clearly.
migration in political discourse
Migration is still at the center of controversial discussions. On September 21, 2023, a debate on migration policy was made in the German Bundestag, in the course of which the AfD faction made an application for mass migration. While AfD representatives demanded immediate termination of the entrance programs, representatives of the traffic light coalition defended the Federal Government's course. Gottfried Curio from the AfD in particular criticized the planned admission of migrants from Lampedusa and called for a general end to the family reunification for illegal immigrants.
The confrontation was shaped by speakers from different parties. While Dirk Wiese (SPD) emphasized the legal difficulties of an upper limit and Germany's success in the admission of over one million refugees from Ukraine, Philipp Amthor (CDU/CSU) described the migration policy of the current government as lost in the population. It becomes clear that the concerns and fears of the population have to be taken seriously about migration policy and the associated challenges.
migration and crime
A central topic in the debate is also crime among migrants. Official statistics indicate that migrants in crime statistics are overrepresented, but this does not have to mean that they have higher crime rates per capita. It can be noted that a small part of the migrants are punishable and that many of them may be more involved in conflicts from social and demographic factors. Violent offenses among refugees are often due to conflicts in accommodation and social stress.
It is also emphasized that adult migrants with access to the labor market rarely become delinquent and the proportion of young migrants who are delinquent is declining. These aspects must be taken into account in the political discussion in order to enable a differentiated examination of the topic. In this context, the promotion of integration options and access to the labor market is crucial for reducing crime risks among migrants.
District Administrator Seefeldt, who has spoken out for an active service to democracy and the need for a future plan for Germany, also sees positive developments in the district, including school renovations and investments in the healthcare sector. It remains to be seen how the political arguments about migration and crime will develop.
