Asylum Applications to Germany up 77 Per Cent Over 2022

Initial asylum claims in Germany are soaring, both month-on-month over the summer but also compared to the same period last year, with the nation experiencing a considerable 77.2 per cent rise in arrivals.

There have been almost 205,000 initial applications from would-be asylum seekers in Germany this year between January and August, the latest periods for which the Federal Office for Migration and Refugees (Bamf) has published figures.

The total of 204,461 to date in this period in 2023 is a 77.2 per cent increase over the 115,402 recorded in January to August 2022, reports Die Welt. A University of Vienna academic has told Germany's Tagespiegel that while it is hard to accurately predict migration numbers — especially as any number of foreign wars or revolutions could begin in the next five months, adding extra pressure on global northward migration — she believes it is conceivable there would be 300,000 applications this year.

Asylum applications continue to rise as the year goes on. There were 27,738 applications in August alone, which itself is up 17 per cent in two months over June.

The country has gone to the dogs and the ordinary fella in the street isn't listened to. Kein Wunder the AfD marches on, I feel almost as sorry for the Germans as I do for the Brits.
