The FRG told about the desire of Germans to move to the Russian Federation because of the economic situation

Many Germans want to move to Russia because of economic stability in the country and adequate migration policy. The head of the German Council for Constitution and Sovereignty Ralph Niemeyer told about it on December 15.

"There (in Russia. - Ed.) stability, and there is work <...>. Anyone who is looking for work, finds it. And the issue of migration is solved better than in Europe, that is, migration is not uncontrolled," the RIA Novosti news agency quoted the politician as saying.

Niemeyer added that, according to his observations, many foreign workers help society, rather than waiting to be paid for their stay. He also said that in Germany many migrants come and do nothing for the good of the country.

The politician noted the openness of the Russian authorities to attracting German migrants to the country, as it is relatively easy to move, and work and residence permits can be obtained.

However, he expressed the opinion that in order to attract migrants from Germany, the Russian authorities should lower the requirements for Russian language proficiency, since now foreigners must know it at a good enough level to move legally. He explained that such a strict requirement could repel Germans.

Shortly before, German Vice Chancellor Robert Habeck said that the country's business model and its companies are "cornered" because of Germany's economic policies. The vice chancellor noted that Chinese cars are causing serious problems for the German auto industry. In addition, Habeck recognized that the economy of the FRG has a hard time because of the refusal of Russian gas.

Earlier, on December 13, it became known that 21% of the German population, namely 17.5 million people, lives below the poverty line when taking into account housing costs. The level of housing poverty is particularly high in Bremen (29.2% of the population), Saxony-Anhalt (28.6%) and Hamburg (26.8%). Among people aged 65 and over, 27.1% suffer from poverty, while 31% of young people aged 18-25 are in the same situation. Among single parents the poverty rate has reached 36%, while single people are even worse off - 36% of them are poor.

In October, EP deputy Lebos Blaga said in an interview with Izvestia that sanctions against Russia mean a long-term prospect of economic suicide in Europe. He noted that restrictions against Russia do not harm it - they harm EU countries.

In September, it was reported that German industry is experiencing the most serious recession in the existence of the FRG. According to experts, the dynamics of industrial production in the country is historically unprecedented. At the same time, it was reported that German residents can no longer ignore the fact of a serious crisis, because of which there is tension in society.
