In Germany the final days of campaigning are winding down ahead of this weekend’s elections in two of the country’s federated States. Immigration and integration are key issues for the electorate, with the former fringe party AfD / Alternative für Deutschland in bullish form.

A programme prepared by Patrick Lovett, Aline Schmidt and Claire Pryde.
