Thilo Sarrazin

Thilo Sarrazin (born 12 February 1945) is a German politician and former member of the SPD, writer, senator of finance for the State of Berlin from January 2002 until April 2009, former member of the Executive Board of the Deutsche Bundesbank until 2010.

He became well known after publishing a controversial book about Muslim immigrants in Germany in 2010. In his book ''Deutschland schafft sich ab'' (''Germany Abolishes Itself''), he denounces what he sees as the failure of Germany's post-war immigration policy, sparking a nationwide controversy about the costs and benefits of multiculturalism. As a result, he is no longer a member of the SPD as of 31 July 2020. Provided by Wikipedia
