On Refugees' Day, the German press and politics talk almost exclusively about German reunification. This raises a justified question from NRW state parliament representative Monika Düker:
What goes through the minds of people who have come to Germany as refugees or asylum seekers when they observe the celebrations of the "Day of German Unity" on the international Refugees' Day? The Telepolis article provides a good overview of the refugee situation in Germany and the refugee hatred that still dominates the refugee issue.
Kohl elevated incitement against refugees and asylum seekers to a political program of a people's party during his time in office. But I cannot see that the SPD has countersteered in any way since it has been in power.
It's still simply much easier to attack minorities and blame them rather than dealing with the real problems.
