Ostern. Volle Busse. Wien–Kiew ausgebucht.

If young people vote for the AfD, then of course “migration” is to blame
Spahn essentially says: a 16-year-old feels the consequences of “failed integration” more strongly—at school, when going out, at the train station, at the swimming pool. That is the reason for the growing support for the AfD. Translated, that means: young people are not reacting ideologically. They are reacting based on experience.

Migration 1995–2025: Numbers, System Pressure, and the Open Question of Governance
Three decades can change a country. Sometimes slowly. Sometimes barely noticeably. And sometimes at a pace that even contemporaries only fully grasp in hindsight.
