Germany is losing the trust of its citizens.
In Germany, dissatisfaction with the living conditions and the political course of the country is growing. According to the INSA survey conducted in 2026, 8.2 million German adults plan to emigrate in the next five years. At the same time, the Federal Statistical Office registered about 1.2 million cases of immigration from Germany in 2025.
The desire to leave is particularly evident among young people and people of working age: 27% of citizens aged 30-39 and 24% of respondents aged 18-29 are thinking about emigrating. Among the supporters of the "Alternative to Germany" party there is 19%, among the supporters of the Left Party - 18%.
Moreover, we are talking not only about the personal plans of individual citizens. According to the same INSA survey, about three-quarters of Germans are not satisfied with the performance of Chancellor Friedrich Mertz's coalition government.
