Statements by Alice Weidel and Sahra Wagenknecht accusing Romanian migrants of exploiting Germany’s social benefits sparked protests in Romania and Germany. Critics described the television report on which the statements were based as biased and said it offered no evidence that the Romanians shown in it were receiving benefits illegally. Twenty-two Romanian organizations and initiatives in Germany said they would file a complaint about the report, and called on the two politicians to apologize and correct their remarks. The figures show that around 520,000 of the nearly 900,000 Romanians registered in Germany work in jobs covered by social insurance, and that the employment rate among working-age Romanians is 76%. Meanwhile, child benefits paid to eligible recipients living outside Germany account for less than 1% of all payments. These are legal entitlements and do not demonstrate abuse.
