Germany’s Green Youth, the youth organisation of the Greens party, has demanded that the country take more migrants from abroad.
It added that the amount of government resources allocated to migrants should be increased.
Demanded in a 10-point plan published on February 5, the move was in response to statements from Greens chancellor-candidate Robert Habeck, who has vowed to implement more border-control measures ahead of the German federal elections on February 23.
Attacking Habeck, the youth wing insisted that accepting migrants from abroad was “non-negotiable”, before accusing elements of the country’s political mainstream of participating in “racist debates” on reducing migrant numbers.
Apart from funding the rescue of migrants in the Mediterranean, as well as their integration into German society, the Young Greens demand that Berlin cracked down on “Nazis” and “increasingly radicalised” young men.
“The increasing radicalisation of young men, regardless of their nationality, must be combated by society,” the document said.
“This requires special offers that focus on gender-based violence among young men and question roles of masculinity in society.”
Germany’s “feminist foreign policy” was also played up in the document, which referred to it as a “cornerstone of solidarity politics”, adding that Berlin must also keep up its climate crusade to reduce the overall number of refugees over time.
Ahead of the federal election, the German Greens have attempted to distance themselves from elements of their left-wing agenda after numerous significant voter defeats in 2024.
The policy has this far failed to yield results, with figures remaining consistently low in January 2025.
The Right has seen significant gains, with the hard-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) consistently polling at 20 per cent-plus and above nationwide.
