Julia Gehrckens, a leading figure in the AfD’s youth wing, Generation Deutschland, advocates for “millionenfache Remigration” – mass deportation. Undercover research by stern and RTL reveals that her private views are even more extreme than those she publicly expresses.
In Public, Gehrckens Speaks Radically. Behind Closed Doors, Even More So.
At a founding congress in Gießen in November 2025, Gehrckens campaigned for a position on the federal executive board of the new AfD youth organization. Despite leading party members initially supporting another candidate, she insisted on running and ultimately won the vote with 63 percent support.
During her speech, Gehrckens stated, “Germany’s women are being degraded to fair game.” She explicitly linked this to a perceived threat from migrant men, asserting, “Only millionenfache Remigration protects our women and children.”
While some within the AfD attempt to downplay the term “Remigration” by claiming it refers only to those legally obligated to leave Germany, Gehrckens’ call for “millionenfache” Remigration suggests a far broader scope – potentially including the expulsion of well-integrated individuals without German citizenship. With approximately 230,000 individuals currently facing deportation orders in Germany, her statement implies a significantly wider program of expulsion.
Undercover investigations by stern and RTL have revealed that Gehrckens holds even more radical views than those expressed publicly. This raises questions about the danger posed by Generation Deutschland and the response of the AfD leadership to extremist tendencies within its youth organization.
