Germany: How to woo voters with an immigrant background (opens the original)
Read excerpt
German voters of immigrant background are distancing themselves from the established parties even more than others, according to a study by the Berlin-based German Center for Integration and Migration Research (DeZIM). In 2023, 12% of eligible voters in Germany were of immigration background — meaning they or at least one of their parents were born without German citizenship. That amounts to more than seven million people in a population of close to 84 million. But they are drifting away from th
In Germany, record heat meets climate action fatigue (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When Lars Werner of the "Last Generation" climate activist group glued himself to the road four years ago to protest for greater climate action, Germany had not yet seen 12,500 heat-related deaths (the 2026 toll, so far), or record temperatures across Western Europe, and fully loaded ships were still navigating the Rhine without difficulty.

There were still many Germans who remained committed to welcoming hundreds of thousands of refugees who had begun arriving the previous year, mainly from Syria. However, an increasing number were more skeptical of immigrants and foreigners, especially following the mass sexual assaults involving young men with immigrant backgrounds that to
Germany widens deportations to Afghanistan (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Things would likely have turned out very differently had Faridoon Tofan not taken the bus to Italy. He had intended to go on a short trip to Rome. The 46-year-old — who had fled the Taliban to Germany just under four years ago and had since been working and learning the language — was detained during a border check in mid-April and taken directly to a deportation detention center in Munich. The reason: Tofan did not have the legal right to leave Germany. His asylum application had been rejected;
