More Germans dislike foreigners
Around 31% of respondents to the Autoritarismus-Studie (Authoritarianism Study) 2024 in western Germany agreed with the statement that Germany is “over-foreignized by so many foreigners”. In 2022, the figure was 22.7 percent. In eastern Germany, approval rose from 38.4% to 44.3%.
A xenophobic world view is most pronounced among voters of the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, at 61%. This is the party that is classified by the Office for the Protection of the Constitution in several eastern German states as definitely right-wing extremist.
