AfD youth organization in Magdeburg demands the repatriation of millions of immigrants
At its federal congress in Magdeburg, the AfD youth organization Generation Deutschland demanded the mass repatriation of immigrants. Speaking to around 300 delegates at the Alte Theater, chairman Jean-Pascal Hohm, who also serves on the AfD federal board, stated: "Millions must leave this country again." He added that Germany must "remain the country of the Germans," and that this principle is non-negotiable. Martin Reichardt, the AfD state chairman for Saxony-Anhalt, declared that they would take Germany back on September 6.
The congress took place one week before the state election in Saxony-Anhalt, where the AfD is polling at around 40 percent, ahead of the CDU. Generation Deutschland was only founded in November 2025 as the successor to the Junge Alternative. The latter had dissolved after the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution classified it as definitively right-wing extremist. There were no significant counter-demonstrations this time.
This congress does not change anything legally regarding your stay in Germany. Anyone who has a right of residence retains it. Residence permits, tolerated stays (Duldungen), and naturalizations are governed by the Residence Act, the Nationality Act, and European law. They are decided by immigration authorities and courts on a case-by-case basis, not by resolutions or speeches at a party conference. "Mass remigration" is a political demand for which there is currently no law and no procedure.
What you can still do: Ensure that your documents remain valid and that you submit renewal applications to your immigration authority in good time, ideally several weeks before they expire. Keep official notices and proof of status. If you believe you might meet the requirements for naturalization, seek advice from your naturalization authority or a migration counseling center. Those who are German citizens and live in Saxony-Anhalt can vote on September 6. And if you are threatened or attacked, file a report with the police and contact a counseling center for victims of right-wing violence.
