AfD reemigration debate: Merz calls it ethnic cleansing, citizenship rights questioned

The German far-right AfD's concept of 'reemigration' has sparked a political dispute, with Chancellor Friedrich Merz labeling it a synonym for ethnic cleansing. The debate centers on whether naturalized German citizens with migration backgrounds could be considered 'guests' and potentially subject to removal. This reflects a broader political shift in Germany's migration discourse, though the practical policy impact remains uncertain.
