Aid organizations criticize the EU asylum compromise

Numerous human rights organizations and aid organizations for refugees are very critical of the reform of the Common European Asylum System (CEAS) adopted by the European Parliament on 10 April 2024 (tuenews reported: tun24042201). On the day before the parliamentary session, 161 associations and NGOs from all over the world had appealed to parliament not to adopt the tightening of asylum law associated with the reform. The Catholic umbrella organization “Caritas Europa”, for example, particularly criticized the regulations “relating to the detention of families and children at the EU’s external borders and the discriminatory pre-sorting of those seeking protection and… Read More

Kurdish migration to Germany—facts and figures

With 25 to 30 million people, the Kurds are the world’s largest ethnic group with their own language, but without their own state. After the fall of the Ottoman Empire, their vast settlement area in the Middle East was divided up among the newly formed states of Syria, Iraq, Turkey and Iran. In the 19th century, an administrative reform of the Ottoman Empire created a province called “Kurdistan”, which was soon dissolved. In Germany, Kurds are not included in official statistics as they are categorised as belonging to their country of origin. Two academics who study the Kurds in Germany… Read More

European Court of Human Rights condemns Greece

For the second time, the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) in Strasbourg condemned the EU country Greece in early 2024 for human rights violations against refugees seeking protection. The event took place almost 10 years ago: on 22 September 2014, the Greek coastguard tried to stop a refugee boat near the island of Pserimos and fired 13 shots at the boat. A Syrian father was hit in the head and died after months in a coma. Proceedings against those responsible were dropped in Greece. A PROASYL lawyer filed a complaint with the ECtHR on behalf of the family and… Read More

Jobcenter: Travel only with permission

Although Jobcenter customers are not entitled to a “vacation”, they are allowed to go away for a maximum of three weeks a year without having to forgo benefits from the authority. However, this only applies if the Jobcenter has approved the absence in advance. This means that anyone who receives citizen’s income and wants to travel during the period of unemployment and cannot be reached must inform the Jobcenter in advance and obtain its approval. If the Jobcenter has given its approval, benefits will continue to be paid for this period. Health insurance will also continue. If you receive citizen’s… Read More

Almost two thirds of 2015 refugees are working

It is repeatedly claimed that too few refugees have jobs. This is not true, as a study by the Nuremberg Institute for Employment Research (IAB) shows. All figures relate to the year 2022. One result: the longer people seeking protection were in Germany, the more were employed. After seven years, 64 percent (almost two thirds) of those who fled to Germany in 2015 were working. Nine out of ten of these employees were subject to social security contributions. Those who were in full-time employment in 2022 earned an average of 2,570 euros per month. In relation to all employed refugees,… Read More

EU agrees on new common asylum policy

On April 10, 2024, the European Parliament approved the reform of the Common European Asylum System (CEAS), which has been planned for eight years. This so-called asylum compromise must now be approved by all EU countries in the Council of the EU in May, which is considered certain. The agreed legislation will then come into force. However, they will take two years for the EU countries to implement and will therefore only be applied from the second half of 2026. The Federal Government must present an implementation plan by the end of this year. To this end, various legislative amendments… Read More
