💨 Abstract

Asylum applications in Germany decreased by 34% in 2024 compared to the previous year, according to the interior ministry. This drop, coupled with an increase in violent incidents involving immigrants, has fueled public concerns and support for the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD). The Social Democrat interior minister welcomed the decrease. Germany reintroduced immigration checks at its land borders last September, causing controversy and criticism.
