In a declaration to the Bundestag on May 12, 2011, Bellmann defended its critical and negative attitude towards financial aid to Greece, Ireland and Portugal and suggested the bankruptcy of the bad credit states.

On the subject of Islam and Germany, Bellmann spoke in January 2015 to the online edition of the Handelsblatt of an “advancing Islamization ”, which was “due to the demographic situation, the fertility on the one hand and the birth deficit on the other, regardless of ideologization or proselytizing by imams, hate preachers or others ”. In the refugee crisis in Europe in 2015 , she criticized Angela Merkel for her approach and accused her of lack of conception and an “ regulatory oath of disclosure”. In September 2016 she asked the CDU not to rule out a coalition with the alternative for Germany in principle. In a guest article for the Protestant magazine idea in September 2018, she spoke out against Muslim membership in the CDU in general. This also applies to secular, non-practicing Muslims. Bellmann was heavily criticized for these statements; Her own party also called for resignation as a result.
