The Bundestag has approved a two-year suspension of family reunification for refugees with subsidiary protection, aiming to reduce pressure on Germany's immigration services. This group does not hold asylum status but has some protective rights due to risks in their home countries. Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt emphasized the need for limits on immigration to maintain social order and resources. Critics argue this move undermines humanitarian principles, as family unity supports better integration. Protests occurred against the legislation, highlighting families' struggles without their members.
"When we talk about good integration, the family comes first," Saeed Saeed, a protest organizer, emphasized while addressing the importance of family cohesion for refugees.
Interior Minister Dobrindt stated, "the resilience of our social systems has its limits" and emphasized that immigration to Germany must have its limits as well.
