Gone out of military recruiting in Syria, now aims to become an MP in Germany

Now, the young man who fled military recruiting in Syria is trying to win a seat in Germany's parliament.

He plans to run for Green in a former coal mining area in the western part of the country and is preparing seriously for the 26 September general elections, in which he hopes to participate, certainly if by then the application for German citizenship is approved.

If you win, by the way of the Green, Alows will become the first elected refugee in the German federal parliament. When you arrived in Gremani in 2015, it says that for the first time in many years, he finally felt secure, even though he was first shocked by what awaited him: a bed in a gym of 60 other refugees was banned from working and not taught German.

Alows is one of hundreds of thousands of migrants who entered Germany after Chancellor Angela Merkel then opened the borders for refugees who fled the wars of poverty in the Middle East and beyond. ” There were refugees in Germany even before 2015 They've been here longer than me. It's time in a functional democracy these people, who are part of society, have their voice in politics”, says Alows, quoted by Reuters. Opinion polls bring the second century in line for election winners after Merkel's conservative bloc.
