Im Gespräch mit ntv habe ich erklärt, dass kein Drittstaat der EU die Herausforderungen in der Flüchtlingspolitik abnehmen kann und wir uns nicht von Autokraten erpressbar machen sollten. Zum Gespräch.

In an interview with Ippen.Media / Frankfurter Rundschau, I warned against losing sight of the people affected by the GEAS reform. Striking phrases, symbolic politics and the appropriation of right-wing populist demands and prejudices will not lead to the weakening of right-wing parties. You can read the article here.

On rbb Inforadio, I described how the EU asylum reform will not bring about any improvements and will create more additional problems. The last few years of asylum and migration policy have been characterized by symbolic politics and too few active solutions, and this reform will continue this in part. You can find the whole interview here.

In an interview with Phoenix, I explained why we need fewer populist debates and more pragmatic solutions that do not amount to treating people worse and worse and creating more chaos and suffering at the external borders. You can find the video of the interview here.

Before the final vote on the reform of the Common European Asylum System, I explained to Deutschlandfunk radio why the European Greens will vote against most parts of the reform. The reform will not improve the organization of migration, but in practice will create more bureaucracy and more suffering for those affected and will not tackle the causes of flight. Why we need new approaches and a change of course, you can listen here.

In an interview with NDR, I criticized the fact that mass camps at the external borders do not solve any problems and why we cannot wipe away the complex challenges with simple answers. Above all, the reform will create a bureaucratic monster and hardly improve the situation in the municipalities or the chaos at the external borders. Here you can listen to the interview.

I tried to make it clear to Alexander Throm that there are no simple answers to complex challenges, even if the CDU would like there to be. Especially not when more and more wars, crises and natural disasters are forcing people to flee their homes. You can watch the world duel of the day here.
