Xabi Alonso’s last words have not gone unnoticed. The Bayer Leverkusen coach spoke at a press conference regarding migration in Germany, making clear his opposition to the idea of a mass deportation of immigrants as proposed by the German extreme right. And the fact is that, a few days ago, the anti-immigration plan of the Alternative for Germany (AfD) was leaked, which contemplated expelling people who would arrive in German territory from another country in search of a better life. Specifically, they want to carry out mass expulsions of migrants, if they come to power.
An investigation carried out by a national journalist revealed that the far-right party, under the idea of “remigration”, intends to implement a plan of mass deportations if it manages to come to power. This project would affect three groups of people: asylum seekers, non-Germans who have the right of residence in Germany, and “non-assimilated” German citizens. In addition, this program also includes a destination to send those extradited to, a model state in North Africa that will host two million people, according to the investigation.

The truth is that these revelations have had a great impact on German society, which has caused various protests throughout the country once morest the German extreme right. In addition, many people have called for the ban of the AfD party, which is the fifth political force in parliament, although in recent months it has experienced considerable growth. So much so that it is already the party with the best chance of winning the regional elections, which will take place this year, in territories such as Saxony, Thuringia and Brandenburg.
In the midst of this controversial situation, at the press conference prior to a Bayer Leverkusen match, Xabi Alonso defended migration in the country. “Everyone has the right to come here and bring the best they can, and embrace this culture no matter where they come from, as I have done,” considered the Spanish coach following being asked by a journalist. “We have our values in Germany that we must defend, in Europe we must defend them strongly and I am sure that football shares that,” he assured.

Xabi Alonso also highlighted that he himself had come to Germany to “bring the best of myself and contribute and adapt to the country” like many other people who “come from all over the world.” A situation that also occurs, as the former player explained, in countries like Spain or Italy. In conclusion, the Leverkusen coach added: “We have to stay firm. “We cannot accept those requests, we have to believe in an open society.”
