Germany: Christian Democratic Union is campaigning in Arabic

Welcome to the new Germany. Celebrate diversity! Before too long, no other language will be used in Germany.

“CDU Leipzig is campaigning in Arabic,” translated from “CDU Leipzig macht Wahlkampf auf Arabisch,” HeimatKurier, April 30, 2024 (thanks to Medforth):

A CDU poster on Leipzig’s Eisenbahnstraße is currently causing a stir in the Federal Republic. The reason: it is written in Arabic and is emblazoned in, of all places, a particularly infested district. Snarky comments quickly followed.

The color scheme is reminiscent of the Austrian People’s Party, when it mutated into a reflection of the FPÖ under top candidate Sebastian Kurz: turquoise and with pithy slogans against mass migration, Kurz was eventually even able to become Federal Chancellor. According to surveys, the CDU can hope for first place in the EU election campaign, but now it is unintentionally exposing the ethnic vote.
Conservative chutzpah?

Several prominent political figures, including AfD top candidate Maximilian Krah, posted their opinion on X about one of the CDU’s election posters in Leipzig: “The CDU is not the lesser evil, it is the evil.” Below, you can see the poster with the lettering that is clearly aimed at Arabic speakers, as well as a poster with the German inscription: “U-turn in migration policy.” The user Sachsengardist kindly provided not only the location of the Arabic poster (the notorious Eisenbahnstraße in the east of Leipzig), but also a translation: “Security for this neighborhood.”

Kebab shops, arcades and oriental flair dominate this street and it is likely that the majority of residents can read the Union’s election poster without any problems. Security has become a dominant issue for many residents of Germany, especially after the welcome coup in 2015/2016, the subsequent Islamist terrorist attacks and the “isolated cases” that characterize everyday multicultural life in the Federal Republic of Germany. Apparently Angela Merkel’s party, which has held political power in its hands longer than any other, is hoping for the poor memory of the native voters and the votes of the migrant voters, who are apparently by no means assimilated.

In complete contrast, internet users, like the Saxon guard mentioned above, like to remind people of the real problem and the only political solution: “It is no coincidence that Arab posters are put up in the most unsafe district. Therefore –> remigration.” Even radical left-wing politicians noticed the “new level of mendacity”: on the one hand, advertising in Arabic, on the other hand, calling for deportations. One thing is clear: anyone who does not have a migration background and votes for the Union in the hope that it will keep its election promises will have to deal with disappointment later.
