After the fall of Assad: Faeser has a new plan for Syria refugees

If Federal Interior Minister Nancy Faeser’s plans go, some of the Syrian refugees in Germany will have to return to their homeland.

“As our law provides, the Federal Office for Migration and Refugees will review and revoke protection granted if people no longer need this protection in Germany because the situation in Syria has stabilized,” she told the newspapers of the Funke media group.

Faeser continues: “This will then apply to those who do not have a right of residence for other reasons such as work or training and do not do so voluntarily Syria return”.

After the fall of Syrian dictator Assad Foreign Office and Federal Ministry of the Interior therefore gain a clearer picture of the situation in the country. “We primarily focus on security issues,” said Faeser.

Deportations of criminals and Islamists

▶︎ Faeser also said: “Anyone who is well integrated, works, has learned German and has found a new home here should be allowed to stay in Germany.” People who wanted to return should be supported. offender and Islamists should be deported as quickly as possible. “We have greatly expanded the legal options for this and will use them as soon as the situation in Syria allows.”

For the first time, after more than a decade Terrors and violence, there is hope for peace in Syria again, said Faeser. “If this hope for peace becomes reality, Then many refugees can return.”

Asylum applications are not processed

According to the Federal Ministry of the Interior, around 975,000 Syrians currently live in Germany. Most have come since 2015 as a result of the Syrian civil war. More than 300,000 of them have a subsidiary protection title; So they were not admitted because of individual persecution, but because of the civil war in their homeland.

The Federal Office for Migration and Refugees recently decided not to decide on asylum applications from people from Syria for the time being due to the dynamic developments in the country.
