As Germany approaches early parliamentary elections on February 23, 2025, the migration debate intensifies, with misinformation spreading on various platforms. One prominent claim, made by Joana Cotar, incorrectly stated that around 304,000 rejected asylum seekers receive support while needing to leave Germany. However, fact-checks reveal that just 202,880 are legally required to depart, with only 128,355 being rejected asylum seekers. This discrepancy highlights the urgent need for accurate discourse on migration as misconceptions may influence voter sentiment.
There are indeed almost 900,000 rejected asylum seekers living in Germany. However, the number of those legally required to leave is much lower than claimed.
The claim that 304,000 rejected asylum seekers receive support while being required to leave is misleading and greatly exaggerated according to official statistics.
