The phrases you provided are in German. They correspond to a set of words that relate to a political statement by Friedrich Merz about the so-called “Stadtbild” (urban image) and migration. If you’d like, I can translate or explain them in context, but here’s a straightforward gloss of the terms themselves:

• was: what
• hat: has
• merz: Merz (proper noun)
• gesagt: said

Direct translation (assembled as a simple question): "What did Merz say?" If you want, I can:

• provide a precise translation of a full quote or article excerpt you have
• summarize the surrounding discussion and the main points of contention
• place the statement in its political context and explain its reception across different parties

Please share any specific text you want translated or analyzed, and I’ll tailor the explanation.
