Inside Germany: Biergarten rules, open-air pools and mixed messages on migration
Briefly

As Germany prepares for a new government, led by hard-right Chancellor Friedrich Merz, there are growing concerns about immigration policies. The AfD, a right-wing extremist party, is polling high, creating an environment that may be hostile to foreigners. Merz and his team have declared a crackdown on migration starting immediately, reminiscent of strategies employed by former US President Trump. This raises alarms about the treatment of international students and potential changes to citizenship laws for dual nationals, signaling a troubling era for immigration in Germany.

"Amidst mixed sentiments on migration, the rise of the far-right AfD raises concerns about the future of foreign nationals in Germany, especially with harsh policies likely on the agenda."
