Week 16: Koalitionsvertrag, Migration and Eastern

While the Easter Bunny may be busy with hiding eggs this week,
we’re cracking open something far more political: Germany’s
brand-new coalition agreement. In this episode of Plus Forty Nine,
we speak with political adviser Peter-Alberto Behrens about what
the new government plans could mean for migrants in Germany, from
citizenship and asylum policies to labor market access and
integration efforts. With his bicultural background and deep policy
experience, Peter-Alberto breaks down what’s changing and how the
new agreement could shape immigration and integration in the years
to come. In our culture segment, we take a lighter look at how
Germany celebrates Easter today. Plus, we answer another burning
question in our Ask a German segment.
