The Secretary General of the German Christian Democratic Union (CDU) party, Carsten Linnemann, proposes to cancel financial assistance to some Ukrainian refugees. First of all, we are talking about Ukrainians who do not work officially. This is reported by UNN with reference to the politician's interview for the media group Funke.
Details
According to him, in Germany, “a six-figure number of people are fundamentally unwilling to work.” In his opinion, the state should assume that they need help.
Reducing payments by 10, 20 or 30 percent is not enough. We need to completely abolish basic assistance
Linnemann believes that Germany needs policy changes. He noted that he wants “a fair system of social support, and the basic income is unfair at the moment.
We need to discuss why in many European countries more than 50 percent of Ukrainians are working, while in Germany only 25 percent are. There is a clear lack of incentives to get to work quickly
Linnemann emphasized that Ukrainians are defending the freedom of Germans, but he believes that if there is any help, it is linked to reciprocal actions, including employment.
Recall
Ukraine and the UN are strengthening cooperation to create conditions for the return of Ukrainians. To this end, the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees has developed a platform for Ukrainian refugees and displaced persons called “Ukraine is Home.
