Former German Chancellor Angela Merkel has demanded “people with a migrant background” vote against the right-wing party Alternative for Germany (AfD).
Dr Merkel, who accepted more than one million “refugees” into Germany, has now urged the country’s foreign-born voters to oust the AfD.
“I would like people with a migration background… or with a migration history… to join forces with those who do not make common cause with the AfD.
“I wish everyone would stand together against this party. And we do not split ourselves as a political centre, I say, onto those who have a migration history and those who have none. Because then our country would become weaker against the AfD.
“Whether a German citizen has been a German citizen for two years or for four days or the entire family for three generations, it doesn’t matter.
“We are the German people… We must also stick together when we have to take action against people who have completely different ideas about our future,” she told Hesse Broadcasting.
In 2015, Dr Merkel was responsible for the settling of over a million asylum seekers, mostly from Syria, into the country.
Defined by her pledge “Wir schaffen das”, or “We can do it”, the programme led to over 200,000 Syrians gaining citizenship.

Alice Weidel, the co-chairwoman of the AfD and its candidate for Chancellor, responded by blasting Dr Merkel for inflicting “severe damage” to the country.
“Merkel has inflicted severe damage on Germany. In addition to the ruin of our energy infrastructure and the open borders for everyone from all over the world, she is now calling on naturalized ‘people with a migration background’ not to vote for the AfD,” Mrs Weidel said.
In 2025 German federal elections, the party achieved a 20.8 per cent vote share – its best result in German-wide elections and receiving the second-most seats in the Bundestag, Germany’s Parliament.

German influencer Naomi Seibt, who was handed asylum in the US after “being targeted by German intelligence”, said Dr Merkel was now admitting the reason for bringing migrants into the country.
She said: “The snake says the quiet part out loud.
“She knows that the AfD is the MOST POPULAR party in Germany. She calls on migrants in Germany to stand together with German leftists.

“She imported voters to KILL THE RIGHT (literally, judging by crime statistics).”
Ms Seibt, 25, applied for asylum in the States out of fear of political persecution in Germany as a result of her right-wing views.
Dubbed the “anti-Greta”, the German influencer claimed she faced death threats and was being spied on by German intelligence.
She is being supported in her asylum claim by Republican Representative for Florida, Anna Paulina Luna – though it may take months to be processed.
