德国另类选择党在萨克森-安哈尔特州选举中获胜，引发移民群体恐慌。
The far-right Alternative for Germany party's recent election win in Saxony-Anhalt has sparked fear among migrants.
克尔斯滕·格里沙伯 柏林报道 —— 自上个月极右翼、反移民的德国另类选择党在州选举中获胜以来，奥拉·阿赫拉斯和丈夫几乎天天都在讨论是否应该返回叙利亚。这对夫妇和两个年幼的女儿住在马格德堡，萨克森-安哈尔特州新当选的州议会将于周二举行首次会议，这是另类选择党（AfD）取得有史以来最佳选举成绩、从而处于组建二战以来德国首个极右翼州政府的有利地位后的首次会议。
KIRSTEN GRIESHABER BERLIN — Ever since the far-right, anti-immigrant Alternative for Germany party won a regional election last month not a day goes by without Ola Akhras and her husband discussing whether they should go back to Syria The couple live with their two young daughters in Magdeburg, where Saxony-Anhalt’s newly elected state legislature is meeting Tuesday for the first time since the Alternative for Germany, or AfD, surged to its best result yet— putting it in a strong position to form Germany’s first far-right regional government since World War II.
在首次会议上，这拥有83个席位的议会将选举议长——这一职位传统上由最大党担任——另类选择党希望获得一个初步的象征性胜利。该州下一任州长恐怕要等到12月才能选出。
During its first sitting, the 83-seat legislature will elect its speaker — a job that traditionally goes to the largest party — and the AfD hopes for an initial symbolic victory. The state’s next governor is unlikely to be chosen before December.
“情况很糟——我们在这里建立了生活，真的很喜欢这里，但现在我们感觉不再受欢迎了，”2018年从霍姆斯逃往德国的阿赫拉斯说。她德语流利，在当地医院做医生，正在完成内科专科医师培训。
“It’s bad — we’ve built our lives here, we really loved being here, but now we don’t feel welcome anymore,” said Akhras, who fled Homs for Germany in 2018. She speaks fluent German and works as a doctor at the local hospital, where she is completing her specialist training in internal medicine.
戴着头巾的阿赫拉斯表示，她在工作中感到受到重视，但最近购物时遭遇了敌意，晚上已不敢出门。自选举以来，她的不归属感变得难以承受。“我们的孩子在这里永远不会被承认为德国人，”她说。
Akhras, who wears a hijab, says she feels appreciated at work, but has lately encountered hostility while shopping and no longer feels safe leaving home in the evening. Her sense of not belonging has become overwhelming since the election. “Our children will never be recognized as Germans here,” she said.
自2015年百万移民涌入以来，社会对移民的情绪已转酸 社会氛围与十年前截然不同，当时在默克尔总理领导下，德国欢迎来自叙利亚、伊拉克、阿富汗等战乱国家的百万余名移民。许多人建立了新生活，学会了语言，找到了工作。
The mood toward migrants has soured since 1 million arrived in 2015 The mood in society is very different from a decade ago, when Germans welcomed more than a million migrants from war-torn countries such as Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan under Chancellor Angela Merkel Many built new lives learned the language and found work.
然而，随着德国经济问题--增长缓慢、通胀高企、能源价格上涨--的恶化，公众对新来者的情绪也有所恶化。德国选择党和其他移民批评者将该国的问题归咎于移民。
However, as Germany’s economic problems— slow growth, high inflation, rising energy prices — have worsened, public sentiment toward the newcomers has deteriorated. The AfD and other critics of immigration have blamed migrants for the country’s problems.
这个拥有13年历史的政党在德国前共产主义和经济较弱的东部各州（包括萨克森-安哈尔特州）获得了特别快的支持。然而，它在国家层面也继续取得进展。它是议会中最强大的反对党，并在最近的民意调查中领先。
The 13-year-old party has gained support particularly rapidly in Germany’s formerly communist and economically weaker eastern states, including Saxony-Anhalt. However, it also continues to gain on the national level. It is the strongest opposition party in parliament and leads recent polls.
德国选择党上个月在萨克森-安哈尔特的胜利凸显了该党利用人们对遏制移民核心主题之外的问题的不满的技巧，因为总理弗里德里希·梅茨领导的不受欢迎的国家政府正在努力扭转德国顽固不振的经济。该党的强劲表现让移民和那些认为国家在纳粹过去的恐怖之后不受民族主义影响的德国人感到不安。
The AfD’s victory in Saxony-Anhalt last month underlined the party’s skill in capitalizing on discontent with issues well beyond its core theme of curbing immigration as Chancellor Friedrich Merz’s unpopular national government struggles to turn around Germany’s stubbornly sluggish economy The party’s strong showing has unsettled migrants and those Germans who thought the nation was immune to nationalism after the horrors of the Nazi past.
许多移民担心德国选择党的竞选活动将导致更多驱逐出境。德国选择党是否会在萨克森-安哈尔特州组建下一届政府仍然不确定--该党在9月比多数席位差三个席位。6选举。但许多移民和难民担心，如果极右翼政党成功领导州政府，它可能会尝试兑现其竞选承诺，其中包括更多、更快的驱逐出境以及限制接纳寻求庇护者。
Many migrants fear AfD’s campaign will lead to more deportations It remains uncertain that AfD will form the next government in Saxony-Anhalt — it fell three seats short of a majority in the Sept. 6 election. But many immigrants and refugees fear that if the far-right party succeeds in heading the state government it could try to implement its campaign promises, which include more and faster deportations as well as restrictions on the admission of asylum seekers.
目前还没有数据显示自选举以来种族主义事件是否有所增加，但“咨询中心非常繁忙，电话响个不停，咨询预约已满，人们非常需要咨询和支持，”萨克森-安哈尔特州移民组织网络执行主任温德拉·德雷斯勒（Undra Dressler）说。
There are no figures yet showing whether racist incidents have increased since the election, but “counseling centers are extremely busy, the phones are ringing off the hook, counseling appointments are fully booked, and people are in great need of counseling and support,” said Undra Dressler, the executive director of the Saxony-Anhalt State Network of Migrant Organizations.
“我们知道有人已经离开，有人正在考虑离开，有人有意识地做出反对离开并说：‘我要留下来。我不会接受这些条件。现在，我比以往任何时候都更愿意参与其中，”德雷斯勒说。
“We know of people who have left, people who are considering it, and people who have made a conscious decision against it and say: ‘I’m staying. I won’t accept these conditions. Now more than ever, I’m going to get involved,’” Dressler said.
穆罕默德·阿尔达巴格（Mohamad Aldabagh）是决心留下来的人之一，他是一名来自霍姆斯的药剂师，于2015年叙利亚内战最激烈时逃往德国。那一年，数十万人乘坐脆弱的橡皮艇穿越地中海，希望在欧洲找到更安全的未来。
One of those determined to stay is Mohamad Aldabagh, a pharmacist from Homs who fled to Germany in 2015 at the height of Syria’s civil war. That year, hundreds of thousands crossed the Mediterranean on flimsy rubber boats in hopes of finding a safer future in Europe.
“过去10年在德国生活是一次非常好的经历，”34岁的阿尔达巴格说，他是两个孩子的父亲，在马格德堡的一家药店工作。“我在这里重建了我的生活，我不会让任何人夺走我的生活。”虽然他说自己也经历过种族主义，但他相信像他这样的技术工人或许多在德国工作的外国医生是需要的，社会负担不起虐待他们的费用。
“It’s been a very good experience living in Germany over the past 10 years,” said Aldabagh, a 34-year-old father of two young children who works at a pharmacy in Magdeburg. “I’ve rebuilt my life here, and I won’t let anyone take that away from me.”While he says he has experienced racism as well, he believes that skilled workers like himself or the many foreign doctors working in Germany are needed and that society can’t afford to treat them badly.
尽管技术劳动力短缺，但德国选择党不希望“文化上的外国”工人虽然萨克森-安哈尔特州的德国选择党计划并不完全拒绝劳动力移民，但它在招聘外国工人时采取了高度选择性的方法。
AfD wants no ‘culturally foreign’ workers despite skilled labor shortage While the AfD program for Saxony-Anhalt does not reject labor migration altogether, it takes a highly selective approach to recruiting foreign workers.
马格德堡-斯滕达尔应用科学大学社会和卫生服务教授拉希姆·哈吉（Rahim Hajji）表示，该党明确提议避免招募其所称的“文化上的外国”工人，并结束旨在支持外国技术工人融入社会的国家计划。
The party explicitly proposes refraining from recruiting workers it describes as “culturally foreign” and ending a state program designed to support the integration of foreign skilled workers, says Rahim Hajji, a professor of social and health services at Magdeburg-Stendal University of Applied Sciences.
“这提出了一个根本问题，”哈吉说。“一个人口老龄化和劳动力短缺日益严重的国家，如果大幅限制愿意招聘的国际工人数量，该如何满足对技术工人的需求？”根据研究德国移民的Mediendienst Integration组织的一项调查，截至今年8月，萨克森-安哈尔特医院中超过四分之一（即27.1%）的医生没有德国公民身份。
“This raises a fundamental question,” Hajji said. “How is a state with an ageing population and growing labor shortages supposed to meet its demand for skilled workers if it substantially restricts the pool of international workers it is willing to recruit?”As of this August, more than one in four doctors, or 27.1%, in Saxony-Anhalt’s hospitals did not have German citizenship, according to a survey by Mediendienst Integration group, which researches migration in Germany.
阿尔达巴格说：“我们希望为这里的社会福祉做出贡献。”“我们是需要的。我们不是这个国家的害群之马。”
“We want to contribute to the well-being of society here,” said Aldabagh. “We are needed. We are not the black sheep in this country.”
然后他停下来补充道：“但如果我们不再得到尊重，那么我们就会搬到另一个选择党没有那么强大的州。”
He then paused and added: “But if we don’t get respect anymore, then we’ll move to another state where AfD isn’t as strong.”
