AfD leader Alice Weidel has launched a fierce attack on Romanian migrants in Germany. According to her, more and more Romanians are making use of German social services, causing costs to rise sharply. In the city of Magdeburg, annual expenses for Romanian citizens have increased more than twentyfold since 2013, to over three million euros. Her statements have sparked outrage in Romania, where politicians are demanding an apology.
