Tageszeitung, 25 July 2025
Listen to the German daily’s “Bundestalk” podcast (in German), discussing the following question in this episode: The German government has deported 81 Afghan men, and simultaneously allowed the Taleban to send two consular officials. This brings Germany closer to recognising the Taleban regime than most other European countries. Is the German government reacting impulsively to avoid accusations from the far-right AfD party that the ‘migration turnaround’ does not actually exist? What does the new policy mean for Germany’s foreign policy profile – and what does it all mean for the people affected?
