ausgeweitet

English translation: extended, amplified

Journalism
German term or phrase: ausgeweitet
Context: "Ich habe das Opfer bereits im Krankenhaus besucht und bin schockiert und wütend", sagte die Präsidentin des Zentralrats, Charlotte Knobloch. Womöglich müsse die Debatte um sogenannte "No-Go-Areas" auf den Westen ausgeweitet werden. Als "No-Go-Areas" werden Regionen bezeichnet, in denen der Aufenthalt für Ausländer gefährlich sein könnte. Knobloch und andere Politiker hatten von solchen Regionen etwa nach der jüngsten Hetzjagd auf Inder im sächsischen Mügeln gesprochen.

Question: What should be "expanded"? "Debate" or ""No-Go-Areas" ?

Thank you in advance!

it's pretty ambiguous in retrospect and "ausgeweitet" could refer to the "West" too ... "extended" as a translation would be ok though I think ...

agree  Johanna Timm, PhD: yup, the debate/ if expand were to refer to the West, it should read :'...müsse*n* die "No-Go-Areas"...'
