At the moment, we are experiencing strong anti-democratic, authoritarian tendencies in Germany. Apart from anti-humanitarian immigration control for asylum seekers and trying to adapt policy changes, which aim to investigate and reject funding to those, which are not in line with state ideologies, both Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International have already addressed issues of police violence and human rights abuses in Germany.
