“We must strengthen the preparedness of our democracy”

21.2 million people with a history of immigration live in Germany. They all bring their own competencies, experiences and expectations with them. In Germany, a country of immigration, they encounter various general conditions which can either facilitate or hamper their integration into training and work. In her capacity as the Commissioner for Migration, Refugees and Integration of the Federal Government, Reem Alabali-Radovan advocates equal training opportunities for all young people, integration courses for every immigrant and refugee, more naturalisations, and a strong stand against racism. In this interview, she explains how she endeavours to meet these objectives in her role.
