In this conversation, Sonia, Rasheed and Daniela Sepehri discuss the evolving refugee policies in Germany, the rise of far-right sentiments, and the implications of new laws on asylum seekers. Daniela highlights the historical context of Angela Merkel's welcoming stance towards refugees, the subsequent shift towards restrictive policies, and the alarming increase in violence against refugees. They also delve into the absurdities of airport procedures that hinder asylum seekers' rights and the government's failure to address these issues adequately. In this conversation, Daniela Sepehri discusses the challenges faced by asylum seekers in Germany, including forced labor laws, welfare cuts, and the impact of deportations. She emphasizes the need for a more humane approach to migration and highlights the potential of refugees to contribute positively to society. The discussion also touches on the perception of refugees and the systemic issues that perpetuate their struggles.
