Migrants in Germany are feeling increasingly unwelcome as the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) gains political power. With the AfD leading in Brandenburg polls and recent success in Thuringia, anti-migrant rhetoric has intensified. Many "New Germans" who arrived during the 2015 refugee influx, like Parvin and Sultana from Afghanistan, express concerns about the country’s shifting attitude. Despite gaining citizenship and contributing to society, they face racism and fear the rise of far-right politics. A study shows nearly 25% of people with migration backgrounds are considering leaving Germany due to the rise of the AfD and hostile environment.
