Refugees should be obliged to work, if necessary on a voluntary basis. This is what the district councils in Baden-Württemberg are demanding. There is criticism of this: among other things, legal regulations and bureaucracy prevent refugees from getting a job.
A ZDF television crew interviewed Tübingen’s district administrator Joachim Walter, who is also president of the Landkreistag. “Work is still a factor for successful integration,” Walter said. That is why the ban on working that applies to many refugees must be abolished.
The ZDF team also filmed in the editorial office of tünews INTERNATIONAL for its report. Eva Schiller, head of the ZDF regional studio in Baden-Württemberg, interviewed tünews staff member Batool Hadous. The now naturalised high school graduate said that working for the online medium gave her the chance to discover her language talents. She also said that this work allows her to pass on her experiences and help others – for example, to inform them about the rules of German society. Hadous also pointed out, however, that after fleeing, people first have to settle down, get their bearings and learn German in order to find suitable work and be able to integrate.
