How will the German election result impact African migrants? DW 02/25/2025
Briefly

Many Africans in Germany were anxious ahead of the election due to migration being a key issue. Following center-right CDU/CSU's victory and Friedrich Merz's hard stance on migration, there were concerns about deportations, especially after incidents involving a deportable Afghan suspect. Despite the AfD's significant gains, many analysts believe the election results have curbed the far-right's momentum and indicate a more welcoming environment for African migrants, particularly with new reforms aimed at easing skilled migration. This suggests that fears might be alleviated for African communities remaining in Germany.
Many Africans living in Germany feared deportations after the election, but analysts believe the result has mitigated far-right influence and improved migration prospects.
The CDU/CSU's election victory and Friedrich Merz’s hard stance on immigration may raise concerns, yet some analysts say the far-right’s rise has been contained.
The rise of the AfD to second place has deeply worried Africans, given the party’s strong opposition to immigrants and the history of nationalism in Germany.
Despite fears of a far-right upsurge, the recent election results could signify a halt to their momentum, indicating a possible shift towards more inclusive policies.
