Citizens’ allowance for refugees on pump: that says Sahra Wagenknecht

BSW chairman Sahra Wagenknecht welcomed the advance of two SPD country councils to only pay social benefits to refugees as a loan. At the same time, however, she criticized in detail. “It is remarkable that this proposal from SPD country councils comes,” she told the star. He shows how dissatisfied and overloaded the municipalities with migration policy.

“Recognized refugees who have not yet paid off should also obtain asylum benefits,” as in other countries, “she said. In the case of rejected applicants, the payments would have to expire. This procedure is “more realistic than loans,” said Wagenknecht. Because the loans would “never be repaid for the most part anyway” and should “reduce the incentive to start work”.

Previously, the two Thuringian SPD district councilors Matthias Jendricke and Marko Wolfram had in star proposed to grant social benefits to asylum seekers, recognized refugees, but also foreigners from non-EU countries as a loan. The citizen benefit loan should function, similar to the BAföG for students: If you quickly take up work subject to social security contributions, you only have to repay part of the benefits received. Minors would be excluded from the repayment, said the district chiefs of the Nordhausen and Saalfeld-Rudolstadt districts.

The CDU economic council supported the initiative. “It is significant that such sensible suggestions in migration and labor market policy from SPD circles only come at the local level “said Secretary General Wolfgang Steiger dem star. Because it is about Politician, which “The reality of life on site is actually 1: 1“ MitbekTomming.

The CDU member of the Bundestag Philipp Amthor said that the idea had a “certain charm” because she tahle “to a fairer understanding”. Despite legal questions, the basic idea is “interesting,” said the parliamentary State Secretary in the Digital Ministry at World TV.

The left reacted outraged. “The fact that social democrats of all people are pretended is a declaration of bankruptcy,” said Federal Managing Director Janis Ehling the star. The Federal Government distributes billions in gifts to rich and corporations – and now should be shortened by the poorest. “No one needs such a SPD,” says Ehling.

However, the Thuringian SPD chairman also leaned Georg Maier left the push of his state party colleagues. “The proposal to only grant refugee social benefits as a loan is immature and raises constitutional questions,” said the Interior Minister. Integration needs “sustainable concepts” and “non -risky experiments with social benefits”.

The left-wing parliamentary group in the Erfurt state parliament even accused the district administrators of racism. “Anyone who wants to grant the subsistence minimum as debt does not act social, but shabby and follow the racist mood of the AfD,” said the migration policy spokeswoman Katharina König-Preuss.

According to the state parliament member, the proposal is unconstitutional. “The Basic Law guarantees all people in Germany regardless of origin or contribution payments the right to a decent subsistence level.” The Federal Constitutional Court “unequivocally determined” this.
