World: „Better human rights in Tunisia and then there is money for it.“
In an interview with Die Welt, I spoke about the so-called pact with Tunisia. This is about the terrible conditions in Tunisia, which simply abandons refugees in the desert. Cooperation with Tunisia only makes sense if Tunisia also adheres to human rights and we make migration agreements that include safe escape routes and work visas. Instead of working on such solutions, conferences are held to simulate that there are other easy answers. You can watch the entire five-minute interview here.
