German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier has forcefully rejected ethno-nationalist views, stressing that Germany's constitution recognizes no "first- or second-class citizens" and that the German people include those who have joined the country and become Germans.

Well, well… In everyday life, at work or when looking for a flat or a job, one can find out that there are first, second and maybe even third class citizenships in Germany. It usually depends on your name and whether you have a German ethnic origin. Let's not fool ourselves.

Carefully phrased. The constitution doesn't recognise this, but the immigration law does. You can absolutely have your citizenship revoked as an immigrant, for example by having the wrong views on Israel/Palestine. Something that could not happen to someone born German.

Men and woman like him are traitors to the West. They should be tried for treason and dealt with accordingly.

Bio-Deutsch can freely criticize Israel without the fear of losing citizenship. Naturalized Germans do not the have same right.

The term "German people" is a racist expression; in the interest of democratic values, it needs to be changed to "people living in Germany" as soon as possible.

Thankfully less and less people care about what these neo-liberal boomer slobs have to say.

Aus diesem Grund wird der Führerschein von Bürgern vieler Nicht-EU-Länder ohne Prüfung umgeschrieben,während Personen aus der Türkei ihren Führerschein erst nach einer Prüfung umschreiben lassen können...

On paper and on social media. Note: Germany says what’s it’s not doing.

This is not true. As a new German citizen, you stay a 2nd class citizen for 10 years, as your citizenship is legally up for revoking under certain circumstances. This is not the case for "ethno-Germans", ergo: 2nd class. Frank-Walter Steinmeier is lying and @dw_politics is just going with the lies for the sake of a narrative.

Who do you think will uphold the constitution, guarantee minority rights and freedoms, and drive progress in knowledge, technology, economy, once the bearers of Western Civilisation will have become a minority? Who will feel compelled to defend the Fatherland if it is attacked?

You have a second-class citizens in Germany. Those who became citizens can have their citizenship removed up to 10 years if they say something the State views it antisemitic. Germany is not a democracy!

Yet another false claim that is disproved tens of thousands of times every year by thousands of European parents whose children are kidnapped by the Jugendamt and family courts through fraudulent rulings in order to seize their future workforce and pay for German pensions. This is a hybrid attack carried out on behalf of a French child who has been under house arrest in Germany for the past five years. "Merz wird die Urheber von Hybridangriffen strafrechtlich verfolgen" Stern 25 /08/2026. Auf der Rückreise aus dem Urlaub in Griechenland im Jahr 2020 wurde in Budapest eine sowjetische Mütze auf dem Kopf eines französischen Kindes gesichtet. Seit 2021 darf es weder mit seinem französischen Vater reisen noch seinen Urlaub in Frankreich verbringen. Es ist zu einer katastrophalen Schulbildung verdammt, die die Steuerzahler in Baden-Württemberg teuer zu stehen kommt. #MikeEchoRomeoZulu

So Germany is not like Israel, which has first and second class citizens? The "superior chosen" Jew and the "inferior animal" Palestinian. Germany finances Israel and it's first and second class citizen politics
