other European nations.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking with Bloomberg on Monday, just as French authorities were admitting that they\u2019d \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/french-authorities-admit-lost-control-severe-violence-leftists-sweeps-country\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">lost control<\/a>\u201d of the streets, Merz appeared to admit that at least one reason for the riots has been mass migration to Europe.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe reason for that is most likely non-integrated people, migration, and parts of the voters are voting extremely right and extremely left,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd that is creating tensions and obviously riots in some countries, including France.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The statement marked a stunning turnaround for the chancellor, who in May proudly declared that \u201cGermany is a country of immigration.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\"

the Bloomberg interview, Merz tied the issue of mass migration\u00a0to the separate but related issue of the economy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is a composition of uncertainty, anxiousness, spending money for energy, which is assumed as being too much, as inflation rate is going up, housing costs are growing,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo people are really fearing what is next and what comes in our future, and how can we establish our future for our kids and for our grandchildren?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd that is something which is on the table of my government as well, to give people a certain degree of assurance and certainty that it\u2019s worthwhile to live in Germany, to work in Germany, and that this remains a secure country,\u201d he continued.<\/p>\n<p>According to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.migrationpolicy.org\/mpi-europe\/commentary\/germany-and-maybe-european-union-are-migration-crossroads\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Migration Policy Institute<\/a>, high volumes of asylum seekers and other migrants have deeply strained public budgets throughout Europe, but particularly so in Germany, which the institute described as \u201cthe world\u2019s third largest refugee-hosting country.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGermany is grappling with a severe housing crisis and strained public services, amid unprecedented pressure on public finances,\u201d the institute reported in 2024.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, a separate report filed days ago by Bj\u00f6rn Harms of Die Welt, a German national daily newspaper, revealed that Germany\u2019s lax migration policies have cost it at least \u20ac400 billion (or roughly $450 billion), as reported by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zerohedge.com\/political\/migration-has-cost-german-taxpayers-least-eu400-billion-2016\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Zero Hedge<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Zero Hedge also cited a 2024 study from top German academic Bernd Raffelh\u00fcschen of the University of Freiburg that estimated mass migration may cost Germany up to \u20ac19.2 trillion in total.<\/p>\n<p>Naomi Seibt, a conservative German activist who has dubbed herself the first <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/right-wing-anti-greta-files-asylum-us-saying-life-major-risk-germany\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">German asylum seeker<\/a> under President Donald Trump, argued in a social media post last spring that Germany \u201cused to BOOM\u201d economically before the government chose to \u201cruin\u201d everything \u201cwith mass migration.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">I\u2019m not even joking, Germany feels like a 3rd world country ever since I fled to the
