About 15 thousand refugees from Ukraine come to Germany every day. According to the Süddeutsche Zeitung, this “no end in sight” flow of people is starting to reveal some internal problems in the country.
Thus, the mayors of small towns where refugees are resettled begin to feel that the federal authorities “left them to their fate”: local administrations have to independently find hospital beds for children, convert various facilities into living quarters, and also purchase toilet containers – all this is being done from city budgets.
According to the newspaper, a lot of pressure is now being placed on the head of the country’s interior ministry, Nancy Feather, since many representatives of cities and municipalities believe that she is not coping well with the distribution of refugees within Germany.
When she made a presentation in the Bundestag, the deputies asked her why refugees are not distributed among the federal states in proportion to their GDP and population, and also why the authorities, despite security, do not systematically register refugees?
As Feser explained, unlike Syrian refugees, who immediately get to specific institutions upon arrival, citizens of Ukraine initially have the right to stay where they want. The government can only register them if they apply for benefits.
