Joachim Walter, District Administrator of Tübingen, repeated his criticism of the so-called change of legal status for Ukrainian refugees on the occasion of Prime Minister Winfried Kretschmann’s visit to the editorial office of tünews INTERNATIONAL on August 16 at the District Office in Tübingen. The change of legal status means that since June, refugees from Ukraine have been receiving social benefits in accordance with Social Code II. Previously, they received lower benefits under the Asylum Seekers’ Benefits Act. “In some cases, false incentives are also being set up,” Walter said. For this purpose, refugees who had already visited Italy, Spain, and the Czech Republic moved to Germany. As a result, we have to accommodate more people now. Baden-Württemberg’s Justice and Migration Minister Marion Gentges (CDU) has also expressed this criticism. For the time being, there probably won’t be any changes. “We have no intention of changing the rules,” said Prime Minister Winfried Kretschmann, and called for a European concept.
