On 23 February 2025, the initial parliamentary elections want to be held in Germany. The election campaign is currently in full swing. On the streets, on TV, and social media, a lot of political discussion is going on, uniquely about migration. But what is said is not corresponding to the facts.
The DW Fact Czech closely looked at two search statements on X, which was previously known as Twitter.
More than 300,000 people need to be deported
claim: “Around 900,000 disappointed asylum seekers currently live in Germany, of which 304,000 need to be legally abandoned – and still still receive support. If you are wondering what Germany spends money on … “
it ClaimJoanna Kotter viewed 255,000 times. CoterThe German is an independent member of the Parliament. She was a member of a distant option for the German party (AFD), which was left in 2022.
DW fact check: Misleading.
Are really almost 900,000 rejected shelter seekers Live in Germany. The figure Joana Kotter quoted for the refugee refugees who are bound to leave the country, however, much more.
There are 202.880 people in Germany who need to leave the country (till 31 December, 2024). This was confirmed by the federal ministry of the interior at the request of Deutush Velle. For example, “required to leave”, including rejections described asylum seekers, but therefore the visa deadline is over.
The total number of refuge seekers between the people essential to leave the country was 128.355 by June 30, 2024, not as 304,000 in the above X post.On page 23 of this document,
No, everyone is requested to leave the country that in fact it can be deported under the German law. For federal government figures, majority of 86%-are required to leave the country, currently on a tolerant migration in Germany, on a so-called “toltration”. people with ToleranceThere is a special situation and usually cannot be exiled, for example, they do not have exit documents, are in school or university, or medical conditions. The device of the residence is vested in the Residences Act.
The number of disgraced shelter seekers without any disconnection that is necessary to leave the country and can be immediately deported, around 17.583 (till 30 June, 2024). They belong to the so -called “required to leave immediately” group.
Only 0.5% of Syrian living in Germany is entitled to Syrian refuge
claim: “Only 0.5 % #entrepreneurs of Syrian entitled: Fake refugees continuously deny the story of new figures established parties, according to which only ‘refugees’ have come to us from Syria. #Afd” “.
This xPost What was published on AFD’s official account. The report on the party’s website claims that the German internal minister Nancy Faeser (SPD) said that out of 974.136 Syrians living in Germany, only 5.090 are entitled to asylum.
DW fact check: Misleading.
It is true that only more than 5,000 Syrians have given bees full asylum in Germany. This is actually 0.5% of the about 975,000 Syrian citizens living in Germany according to the interior’s Federal Ministry (31 October 2024).
However, what the post leaves, and what makes it misleading is that Syria’s position in Germany is complex. Hundreds of thousands of security have been provided in various categories.
Sophie Minors, a researcher from the German Council on Foreign Relations, told DW: “This statement is wrong and misleading because it fails to identify that the right of asylum fails that the right to refuge is only a small ratio of security available in Germany. Is the country with the highest security rate.
As Federal Statistical Office,Around 88% of Syrian refugee seekers recognized the security situation at the end of 2023.
There are four types of protection in Germany: In response to the investigation, the DW, the Federal Office for Migration and the spokesman of refugees, Lina Tres, in response to the protection under the ban on refuge laws, refugee protection, assistant protection and deportation.
“Most of the Syrian shelters enjoy auxiliary security,” trace wrote.
CheetisFor the federal ministry of the interior, it consisted of over 330,000 Syrians (as on 31 October, 2024).
Subsidiary protection This means that people have neither refugee protection nor right to refuge, but they were earlier threatened with serious loss in their country. This includes, for example, people facing death sentence or torture, or people threatened arbitrary violence in an armed struggle.
Under the rule of Bashar Assad, people in Syria were threatened as torture, inhuman treatment and even death punishment, in addition to leaving Elli without any option. Since the fall of Asad in late 2024, there was a debate in the Germanibout as to how to deal with Syrian refugees an important issue for many parties in the German election in February.
It is still not clear how the new rulers of Syria intend to make the country the Governor in the future. But a new plan by Faeser proposes that some Syrian refugees may need to return home under certain conditions.
