Union Demands Payments from Fund for Late Resettlement
Berlin. The refugee commissioner of the Union faction in the Bundestag, Anita Weiß (CDU), has called on the federal government to make payments from the refugee fund to late resettlers from Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan. “The federal government had promised in the coalition agreement to provide corresponding support in the federal budget,” said Weiß to the “Neue Osnabrücker Zeitung” (NOZ).
According to Weiß, the Union wants to ensure that those affected by the “often arduous and dangerous flight” receive financial support. Weiß said that she expects the federal government to keep its promise and include the necessary funds in the budget.
The refugee fund was created in 2016 to provide financial assistance to refugees who have fled to Germany from war and persecution. The fund is managed by the Federal Ministry of the Interior and has a budget of 1 billion euros.
Late resettlers are persons of German origin who immigrated to Germany after the collapse of the Soviet Union. They are entitled to financial support from the federal government if they meet certain criteria, such as having a German passport or being able to prove their German ancestry.
In recent years, the number of late resettlers from Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan has increased significantly. According to the Federal Office for Migration and Refugees (BAMF), around 10,000 late resettlers from these countries immigrated to Germany in 2022.
Weiß said that the Union is committed to supporting late resettlers. “They have made a valuable contribution to our country and deserve our support,” said Weiß.
