Germany has changed in the five years since Angela Merkel coined the legendary phrase “We’ll manage this!” People of different colour and origins meet every day. Still, increasing numbers of citizens are voting for parties on the extreme right and racist attacks have become common. The podcast checks to see what has become of Merkel’s promise in a rural area of Upper Bavaria. It features contributions from migrants, people who welcomed them and those that feel overwhelmed by this huge societal task.
Excerpt from the jury’s statement
Five years after ‘We’ll manage this’ – how much progress has Germany actually made in welcoming, looking after and integrating large numbers of refugees? The report: Wir schaffen das! – Wie ein Satz Deutschland veränderte, Part 7 provides a wealth of information – plus the insight that data available on the issue is astonishingly threadbare. A thorough investigation that blends expertise with individual case stories.
