AfD politician Curio calls 330,000 citizenships 'deliberate deportation barriers'

AfD interior policy politician Gottfried Curio is claiming that Germany's more than 330,000 naturalisations in 2025 were deliberately created as 'final deportation barriers'. The figure is accurate: Destatis reports 332,500 naturalisations. However, critics point out that citizenship requires lawful residence, meaning those affected were generally not subject to deportation in the first place. The claim is circulating widely in German-language debate over migration policy.

Why now: Naturalisation numbers have become a flashpoint in Germany's ongoing migration policy dispute, and the AfD's framing is being challenged by fact-checkers.
