Prior to the regional elections in the German states of Baden-Württemberg, Rhineland-Palatinate und Saxony-Anhalt on March 13, 2016, the refugee problem placed a heavy burden not only on authorities and aid organisations. It also polarised, divided and motivated German society. For 90 minutes, German politicians discuss the concerns, questions and proposals of both committed and sceptical citizens. Hosted live, as always, by Maybrit Illner, “heute+” presenter Daniel Bröckerhoff supported discussions with data and facts.
