Günther sees migration decisions as an important signal
Schleswig-Holstein's Minister President Daniel Günther has welcomed the resolutions on migration and called for rapid implementation. "It is important that we have fewer incentives," said the CDU politician on Tuesday after a cabinet meeting. The agreements send out a signal that Germany wants to limit immigration. He was counting on a psychological effect. "Of course, we would have liked to see more far-reaching measures in some areas."
Günther said that the coalition partner, the Greens, supported the resolutions of the Minister Presidents' Conference. Most of the agreements should already be implemented in law by the start of the new year. "If this is guaranteed, I believe we will also see a noticeable reduction in the numbers relatively quickly."
The agreed lump sum of 7500 euros per asylum applicant from the federal government for the state and local authorities is not yet appropriate in view of the challenges, said Günther. Although his conclusion after the long negotiations was positive, he considered it an exaggeration to speak of a major success. He hoped that the seriousness that could be felt in the federal government would now lead to concrete action.
The Federal Government's decision to allocate a lump sum of 7500 euros per asylum applicant to the state and local authorities has been met with concern by Günther, as he believes it falls short in addressing the challenges faced by refugees. The Federal Government's role in supporting the implementation of the resolutions on migration is crucial, as it will significantly impact the number of refugees seeking asylum in federal states.
