"I do not believe (…) that the case of a multimillionaire living and working in England provides information on the ability to integrate in Germany," said Maas Monday in Berlin. On Twitter, he added that there are "many fates at least as important".
The SPD politician called on all parties to moderation in the debate. "I think everyone involved in the cause should go in. I see few people who, in my opinion, have behaved reasonably well there."
Maas added, "A resignation because of Racist hostility is an indictment of all.We lose more than one of the best players. "
Given allegations against Özil that he had contributed to the departure of the German national team At the World Cup, Maas said: "Otherwise, the truth is on the ground, that the Germans withdrew so early, has little to do with the fact that Mr. Özil was photographed with Mr. Erdogan."
