The issue of payment cards caused a dispute in the traffic light coalition, which has now been resolved. Saxony’s Prime Minister Michael Kretschmer would like a nationwide regulation.
Saxony’s Prime Minister Michael Kretschmer (CDU) welcomed the traffic light coalition’s agreement on payment cards for asylum seekers in principle. Now it depends on the exact details, he said in an initial reaction to the dpa in Chemnitz. The payment card is important to make it more difficult for refugees to make transfer payments to their countries of origin. A nationwide regulation creates legal clarity.
The issue of payment cards caused a dispute in the traffic light coalition, which has now been resolved. Recently there were concerns among the Greens. The payment card should be expressly included as an option in the Asylum Seekers Benefits Act. Every adult member of a household who is entitled to benefits should receive their own payment card. The specific design of the payment card should be the responsibility of the countries that have agreed on minimum standards in a working group.
