New left-wing German government opens doors for mass chain migration

The incoming German left-wing coalition government has promised to increase immigration to Germany by allowing more migrants to bring family members to the country, a phenomenon known as chain migration.

The coalition plan between the Social Democrats (SPD) led by incoming Chancellor Olaf Sholz, the Free Femocrats (FPD) and the Greens will radically change Germany’s immigration policy, with the coalition parties agreeing to create more legal routes for migration in hopes of deterring. illegal migration.

According to one report from the EU-funded news site InfoMigrants, the new left-wing coalition, nicknamed the “traffic light” coalition, will not only allow more recognized refugees to bring family members to Germany, but will allow them to subsidiary protection A minor form of refugee status, typically given to those at risk of injury if they return to their country – to do the same.

Subsidiary protection makes up a large proportion of migrants who have been granted some form of residence in Germany, and figures from 2019 alone show that 19,419 people received subsidiary protection against 45,053 who were granted refugee status that year.

The coalition has also agreed to try to reduce the waiting time for asylum cases, while at the same time claiming that they will work to ensure that they are deported from the country illegally in Germany.

Another expected major change in Germany’s migration policy is a proposal to create so-called “humanitarian corridors” for those fleeing their countries, such as Afghans fleeing the Taliban regime.

Some have claimed that as many as three million Afghan citizens could try to reach Europe in the near future after the country’s fall to the Taliban in August.

The coalition agreement will also give all migrants who have lived in Germany for five years the right to a one-year residence permit, as long as they have no criminal background. Some who have been in Germany for as few as three years could also be eligible for German citizenship.

The coalition also wants to introduce measures that allow citizens to have dual citizenship with other countries. Under the current system, those applying for German citizenship are often forced to renounce their previous citizenship, with some exceptions.

The populist anti-mass migration Alternative for Germany (AfD) on Friday slammed the new coalition’s immigration policy. issue a statement says the proposal “opens the floodgates and promotes the abolition of Germany. Instead of putting an end to illegal immigration, the coalition simply wants to legalize any possible abuse.”

“While our European partners are fighting to secure the EU’s external border, the new German government is kicking them in the back and inviting illegal migration. This policy will not only tear our country and its social systems apart, but will also deepen the division of Europe in a dangerous way, “said AfD member Tino Chrupalla.

The three “traffic light” parties, the Social Democrats (SPD) (red), the Libertarian Free Democrats (FDP) (yellow) and the Greens announced earlier this week a coalition agreement after months of negotiations following the September elections, with the SPD appearing as the largest party in the country.

The election also saw outgoing Chancellor Angela Merkel’s Christian Democratic Union (CDU) suffer its worst election result ever, as its candidate for chancellor Armin Laschet failed to inspire voters. The result also came after a series of problems in recent years with those trying to succeed Merkel as party leader.

The new coalition will end the 16 years of center-right rule under Chancellor Merkel and is expected to lead to a new era for Germany in terms of its relationship with the EU and the world as a whole.

The exact details of Germany’s new foreign policy and its policy towards other EU member states are still unclear, but members of the coalition parties, such as the Greens, have supported EU action against former conservative-led states such as Poland and Hungary.

Others, such as SPD co-leader Saskia Esken, have also openly supported groups such as the far-left extremist group Antifa.
