Parliament - "Places of hopelessness" - Greens against repatriation centers
Green Party leader Astrid Rothe-Beinlich has described the CDU proposal to create repatriation centers for refugees as a sham solution and symbolic politics. The 49-year-old said in the Thuringian state parliament on Thursday that the draft was aimed solely at sealing people off and isolating them. There, the MPs discussed a CDU bill to create four "reception and repatriation centers". According to the ideas of the Christian Democrats, refugees who have little prospect of staying should be housed there. They should then not be distributed to the municipalities in the first place.
Rothe-Beinlich said that such centers would be "places of hopelessness". Such concepts had failed in other federal states. The CDU emphasized that it had based its proposals on Bavaria.
CDU migration politician Stefan Schard said in the state parliament that they wanted to optimize structures. "In our municipalities, all capacities are exhausted and Thuringia must therefore change course."
The CDU has already passed several bills in the past with the help of the AfD and against the will of the governing coalition. The governing coalition of the Left, SPD and Greens does not have its own majority in parliament.
