German refugees face uncertainty as AfD gains support ahead of election

As Germany approaches its election on February 23, the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party is gaining significant support, focusing on anti-immigration policies. This has raised concerns among refugees, including Zeeham Shalaby and her daughter Eva, about their future in the country. The AfD has been polling second, advocating for "remigration," which aims to send migrants back to their home countries. This shift in political sentiment has intensified fears among refugees, who feel increasingly targeted amid rising anti-immigrant rhetoric linked to recent violent incidents. The AfD's growing popularity, particularly among younger voters, marks a notable change in Germany's political landscape. While the party is unlikely to govern alone, its influence could shape future elections and the treatment of migrants in Germany.
