An inquiry by the Alternative for Germany (AfD) revealed the most common names among unemployment assistance recipients, with Michael, Andreas, and Thomas leading the list. The findings presented by Parliamentary State Secretary Katja Mast indicated that many recipients bear traditionally German names. This counters AfD narratives that suggest a majority of unemployed individuals are migrants. The statistics illustrate a range of names, both German and foreign, debunking misconceptions about the correlation between immigration and social assistance dependency.
The most common names of unemployment (Bürgergeld) recipients are Michael, Andreas, and Thomas, according to an inquiry by the AfD party.
The inquiry revealed that recipients included a mix of German and foreign names, challenging narratives of the AfD regarding migrants and benefits.
With Michael at 19,200 and Ahmad at 13,700, the statistics debunk misconceptions promoted by the AfD about migrant reliance on social assistance.
The results show that if a predominance of foreign names had appeared, the AfD would have immediately publicized the findings to support their xenophobic stance.
