"Dunja Hayali": Crashing failed on the subject of refugees – television

Eight guests and many small films: "Dunja Hayali" wanted too much. Bad luck: A man who could have saved the ZDF broadcast has been canceled.

Berlin.
Dunja Hayali sighed, "It feels like all the talk is coming back." Before, Peter Ramsauer, CSU, and Katharina Schulze, the CSU's Bavarian singer, had applauded for several minutes in a well-known campaign style. . It was about
Anchor Centers, Migration Plan,
Border controls. Ramsauer scoffed at the audience, Schulze Ramsauer. Insight: zero. No wonder Hayali had his experience of déjà vu.

After three summer seasons, as a kind of space reserved for Maybrit Illner, the ZDF donated its new versatile weapon Dunja Hayali
a fixed time slot once a month live, Wednesdays at 22:45

No chance to deepen

The concept of the program differs from talk shows like "hard but fair" or "Maybrit Illner". The program "Dunja Hayali" does not offer a pure round of discussion, but a mix of talk and Einspielfilmen. "Talkmagazin" ZDF calls the format.

The 44-year-old presenter started Wednesday night. It was about migration: change in asylum procedures, rescue at sea, the situation on the Mediterranean, integration. A wide field. And that was the problem at first: Hayali wanted too much. Eight guests of the studio, plus interviews in the movies. That alone overwhelmed a 60-minute show. No chance to deepen.

Hayali rushed into the program hastily. From the Refugee Reception Center to the Federal Office for Migration and Refugees, from the rejected asylum seeker, threatened with deportation, to the Iraqi refugee whose family does not have the right to follow

Hayali lost track

Between the refugee camp of Lebos and already discussing with an MSF representative the issue of hot spots outside the EU. It was easy to get confused.

Even the presenter has lost sight of the whole thing. "Every case is different," Hayali diagnosed during a visit to the refugee reception center – to explain a few moments later: "It's one of the tens of thousands of cases that do the same thing. "Yes, what's going on? Lifeline "captain is not here yet

Dunja Hayali is something like the new star of ZDF: sovereign presenter of" Morgenmagazin ", brave reporter for Pegida-Demos, tireless user of Twitter
against Hetzer from the right, hostess "Talkmagazin" – and soon too
Moderator in the "gym". The danger that as a sympathizer of the transmitter is overused, can not be dismissed from the hand.

At the overloaded program of the first "Dunja Hayali" came then also bad luck. Claus-Peter Reisch, who, as captain of the lifeboat "Lifeline", saved the life of boat people and therefore went to court in Malta, canceled his participation in the program in a short time, regretted Hayali. Too bad the man could have exciting stories to tell – if the hostess had given him time. Reisch would have been the ninth guest of the studio.
