Germany has halted flights aimed at bringing Afghans at risk of persecution to the country. This decision reflects rising tensions following the election of a conservative coalition that pledged to restrict migration. Recent statements indicate that no flights are planned for at least two weeks, primarily due to complex logistical issues. Meanwhile, the ongoing debate over the minimum wage is heating up, with the SPD pushing for a €15 hourly rate, leading to a strong backlash from opposing political factions.
Two flights meant to carry Afghans to Germany will not go ahead as planned this week, amid a growing row over the initiative.
As things stand at present, no further flights are planned in the next two weeks due to complex flight planning and visa issues.
SPD General Secretary Matthias Miersch suggested reaching a €15 per hour minimum wage through legislation, provoking backlash from conservative CDU and CSU leaders.
Conservative CDU/CSU alliance won a February election promising a crackdown on irregular migration, contributing to the decision to halt Afghan flights.
