German Interior Minister Nancy Faeser defended the work of the center-left coalition government regarding immigration amidst rising political pressures. She highlighted major successes including a 77% increase in skilled worker immigration since 2021 and a significant reduction in irregular migration. Faeser called for rational discourse on migration issues to counter polarizing rhetoric and emphasized the importance of data in informing policy. Furthermore, asylum applications have decreased dramatically, and along with a 55% increase in deportations, the government aims to better manage migration in response to public concerns.
"Today, we are a country that invests more in integration and is more attractive to talented and qualified workers and skilled workers from all over the world," Faeser stated, highlighting Germany's improved integration policies.
Faeser emphasized the need for 'verbal disarmament' in migration debates, insisting that political posturing does not solve the underlying challenges of migration and asylum.
The immigration of skilled workers has surged by 77% since 2021, indicating the government's success in positioning Germany as an attractive destination for talent.
Despite challenges, the government has managed to significantly reduce irregular migration while enhancing Germany's appeal for skilled workers, Faeser noted, showcasing a balanced approach to migration.
