Germany's recent election saw a significant rise in support for the anti-immigration Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, causing concern among migrants. Many, like Syrian barber Mohammad Azmouz, feel anxious about their future amid changing asylum policies. Economic worries are prevalent among migrants, with a study showing 63.4% expressing financial concerns, compared to 46.7% of non-immigrants. The Social Democrats, historically popular among migrants, suffered losses in the election, reflecting shifting political sentiments. Some migrants, like Jordanian barber Mohammed, view the AfD's rise as a chance for change, supporting stricter immigration policies. Others, like Alaa Eddin Mhanna, feel unrepresented and anxious about the AfD's growing influence in opposition.
