Not all social workers in Germany are engaged with the values (1) of their profession. At the same time, when some declare “We are social workers, not deportation assistants” (2) and try to fight together with the clients against racism (3) at the working place and elsewhere, others unterstood it completly wrong. Instead of showing solidarity they cooperate with the police and identified the allaged criminals, what leads to the detention of 32 residents of the Lager Donauwörth. But this is only the tip of the iceberg: Day by day socialworkes take part in repressive measures, like the illegal refusal of pocket money or the unileteral counselling for so called “voluntarily departure”, instead of support of defending against the violence.
