Germany exacerbates the law regarding refugees. “Immigration must also have its limits”

On Friday, the Bundestag adopted a law suspending the right to combine refugee families for two years, who only have a partial right to asylum care. The head of the Ministry of Interior Alexander Dobrindt said that the Germans remained open to immigrants, but their social system achieved the limits of possibilities.

The Bundestag adopted the law, announced as the flagship project of the chancellor of Chancellor Friedrich Merz, by a significant majority of votes: it was supported by 444 deputies, 135 were opposed.

Dobrindt said in the Bundestag that the German education system and the real estate market also reached the end of efficiency. “Immigration to Germany must also have its limits,” the minister added.

The adoption of the law was criticized by the leftist opposition; The far -right AFD called her “a very small step in the right direction,” said the Associated Press agency.

The new law will apply to people who have been awarded the so -called international supplementary protection, which means that they may remain in the country they have reached, if they are in danger of persecution, torture or death in their family country; However, this is not a full political asylum – AFP explained.

On May 31, 2025, about 389 thousand Refugees in Germany had such a status.

In the years of the migration crisis (2015-2016), Germany accepted over a million people, and another million – after Russia's aggression to Ukraine.

In the first expose of his government, Chancellor Merz assured in May that the Germans were “, they were and would remain” a country receiving immigrants. He stipulated, however, that in the last 10 years they were allowed to “excessive, non -tuned migration” of low -qualified people who were on the labor market and social security systems.

“We organize migration, limiting the influx, increasing the number of returned and sent people and improving the control. We do not act on our own, on the contrary, we follow international law,” said Merz. (PAP)
