Die EU will die Redefreiheit zum Thema Migration kriminalisieren.
Publisher’s rating: Nein. Erstes geht es hier um den UN-Migrationspakt und nicht um eine EU-Initiative. Zweitens stellt die Vereinbarung weder Kritik an Migration unter Strafe noch laufen Medienunternehmen Gefahr, bei kritischen Äußerungen geschlossen zu werden. Das Recht auf freie Meinungsäußerung wird darin sogar entschieden betont.
L'UE veut criminaliser le discours sur la migration.
Publisher’s rating: Non, la vidéo en question n'a rien à voir avec l'UE. Elle est extraite d'une conférence de presse de 2018 concernant le Pacte mondial sur les migrations des Nations unies (ONU). Or ce pacte ne prévoit pas de criminaliser les discours sur les migrations, et il n'est pas contraignant au regard du droit international.

Publisher’s rating: False
"Gleichzeitig weiß ich als Grüne, als Bürgerin dieses Landes, dass wir Zuwanderung nach Europa, nach Deutschland brauchen, weil wir eine alternde Gesellschaft sind, weil wir Fach- und Arbeitskräftemangel überall haben."
Publisher’s rating: Größtenteils richtig. Es gibt noch nicht "überall" einen Fachkräftemangel. Aber Experten gehen davon aus, dass er kommen wird. Selbst wenn Arbeitslose, Ältere und Frauen mehr beziehungsweise länger arbeiten würden, könnte das den Fachkräftemangel zwar abfedern – aber ohne Zuwanderung geht es nicht.
