Germany's far-right seeks to deport Ukrainian refugees
The leadership of the Bavarian branch of the right-wing populist party Alternative for Germany (AfD) has spoken out in favor of the immediate expulsion of Ukrainian refugees from the country.
These were the words of Katrin Ebner-Steiner, the head of the AfD faction in the Bavarian state parliament.
On January 16, in a comment on the Sat.1 television channel, Ebner-Steiner stated the demand for "remigration so that this country does not become further Islamized." "Bavaria needs remigration," the politician wrote on the social network X on January 17.
However, SZ correspondent Johann Osel, who attended the Bavarian AfD meeting, writes that Ebner-Steiner also spoke about the expulsion of Ukrainians.
According to the journalist, she said that Ukrainian refugees should immediately leave for their homeland, "and now."
The AfD representative stated that Ukraine is a large country with "enough territory" to return to. According to her estimate, including Ukrainians, the number of those who could be deported from Germany is approaching two million people.

He confirmed that the party is calling for the expulsion of "millions" of migrants.

The politician added that there are also "Ukrainians who cannot be here."
