"Lawmakers from Chancellor Friedrich Merz's Conservative Democrats are calling for more to be done to make returning home a more attractive prospect for Syrians who have sought refuge in Germany."
"So far, only a few refugees from Syria have returned to their homeland since the fall of the Assad regime."
"As a result, some conservatives want to promote voluntary departures."
"A Bundestag commission tasked with reviewing Germany's handling of the coronavirus pandemic is meeting for the first time."
Conservative Democrats aligned with Chancellor Friedrich Merz are pushing for stronger measures to make returning to Syria a more attractive option for refugees who sought shelter in Germany. Only a small number of Syrian refugees have returned since the fall of the Assad regime, prompting calls within the conservative camp to promote voluntary departures. Policymakers are considering incentives and programs aimed at facilitating safe, voluntary returns while addressing reintegration challenges. Separately, a Bundestag commission charged with reviewing Germany's coronavirus pandemic handling convenes for the first time, with its initial meeting scheduled for Monday, September 8.
