What do you think about migration – immigration as a question of national destiny?

 

56th Römerberg Talks
Immigration currently seems to be Germany’s most important problem. Elections are won or lost on this issue. The fear of growing crime, terrorist attacks by foreign perpetrators and the alarm cries of overburdened municipalities form a nightmare scenario with which populist parties are driving the political establishment before them.

Anyone who still advocates a welcoming culture, defends the unrestricted right to asylum or points to the importance of migration for the labor market and social systems is denounced as unworldly and blind to the concerns of a section of the population.

Time for a fact check and more differentiation: what is justified concern, what is media hype, what is politically motivated scaremongering? What do the crime statistics say? What are the possibilities, opportunities and limits of politically shaped immigration? And what happens to a society whose awareness of the problem is narrowed down to the issue of containing unwanted migration?

Moderation: Hadija Haruna-Oelker and Alf Mentzer

The event is open to the public. Admission is free.
