look at the figures more than one in 5 people in germany have a migrant background this has to be reflected in politics otherwise it just doesn't represent society. that touré is passionate about the environment tackling the far right and its anti immigration agenda and promoting women's rights she's also outspoken in her criticism of germany's refugee laws in the form of people see what i join thinks that every prestige policy is going to put people off the plane to germany or any other country because the hardships people face that harmed a stew with their dinner to laugh for. touré has been described as a shooting star in state politics. but she has faced discrimination along the way. someone insults you get used to insults and that includes rice sister and sexist
5:23 am
insults it's completely inappropriate to send a name born to mali and parents in germany touré spent the 1st part of her life in a refugee shelter she wasn't granted citizenship until she was 12 at school her friends dreamed of the future while touring worried about being deported. that was a hugely difficult experience of my classmates knew that after finishing school i could join apprenticeship or go to university whereas i was wondering where i would be allowed to leave or what i'd be allowed to do it because i just didn't know whether my family would be able to stay in germany and. the politician calls the port city of kiel home. she grew up hearing her parents' stories of mali though and she describes herself as being both african and german. by invading and i've always felt passionate both worlds leave the land of my
