The migration debate in Germany

2nd July 2018


Joint event by the Federal Trust, Konrad-Adenauer-Foundation and the Global Policy Institute 

When Germans speak about “migrants” they are rarely referring to EU citizens exercising their right of free movement. They are usually speaking about asylum seekers or economic migrants from outside the EU. In consequence the “migration debate” in Germany is differently structured to that which takes place in the United Kingdom.
