Between January and August, 56,000 people applied for asylum in Germany. Extrapolated over 12 months, this almost corresponds to the record value of 2015, the peak of the last refugee influx. The countries of origin have changed: “We are currently seeing a large increase in asylum seekers from India, Pakistan or Tunisia – and therefore also partly from countries where we go on holiday,” says Integration Minister Susanne Raab in “Wanted” with Gerhard Koller. .
This would also be the reason why there are currently very few positive decisions – and therefore no right to financial support: currently there are only 17,000 asylum seekers in basic care, the rest have been rejected. Now it’s “a matter of getting them out of the country quickly,” says Raab, although there is already good cooperation with some countries on take back obligations. Regardless of “normal” asylum procedures, there are currently about 80,000 Ukrainians in the country – displaced by the war, mostly women. A third of them are under the age of 18 and are currently being integrated into the local school system.
In general, the domestic asylum system is heavily burdened by migratory pressure and war refugees – anyone who says the ÖVP would artificially “push” the issue can get an objective picture of the current camp based on the significantly increased numbers. For example in Traiskirchen, where the situation in the reception center is very tense. In the video above, you can see many more details, including the family benefits that will automatically increase in the future, and some notable statements from Raab about ORF funding.
