The German Chancellor met this Tuesday with state presidents concerned by this problem
A few days after a defeat in the European elections which saw his party come 3rd behind the far right of the AfD, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz met with the minister presidents of East Germany, (where the AfD made high scores), in Wittenberg, with a particularly hot topic, illegal immigration.
On the X network, Olaf Scholz writes: “Times of change are always times of uncertainty. However, East Germany is prepared for this change and is already benefiting from significant investments. The federal government and the East German states are working together to achieve this. “
Germany seeks partner countries to manage the influx of illegal immigrants
He announced a strengthening of partnerships with other countries, with an emphasis on border control.
“NOTWe want to enter into partnerships on migration to improve the return of those who have to leave because they cannot stay here. This is our biggest challenge. To avoid having to tackle it alone, we must find partners around the world to help us achieve our goals. But we are succeeding at scale and we will continue to do so.” did he declare.
Important measures have been taken to reduce the number of illegal immigrants and have introduced reforms for better integration of legitimate refugees, who have fled wars, violence or persecution.
But for some leaders of the states concerned, these measures are insufficient.
