Scholz was talking about around 50000 people who came seeking asylum but we're found to have no right to asylum. It's not very humane but it's the current law. The actual fascists of the far right are talking millions.

SPD is a relatively conservative party but it's absolutely insane to call them fascists.

They changed the law so they can deport more people!

They are absolutely going far right with this one especially and their rhetoric around it. These used to be totally unacceptable far right slogans and policies, but here we are. Basic human rights suspended. Just because the AfD is worse does not mean the SPD has not shifted into what not long ago was far right territory. But oh no, calling out racism and how the SPD is effectively enabling a shift towards fascism is too far for you! That's exactly how this rightward shift can happen, because people like you are making excuses for this shit.
