The Sahra Wagenknecht Alliance (BSW) is calling for close monitoring of the integration of refugees. She expects Saxony's Minister President Michael Kretschmer (CDU) and the other heads of the federal states to exert pressure in Berlin, Wagenknecht told the German Press Agency in Dresden on Monday. The integration of refugees can only succeed if people quickly find employment subject to social security contributions and are not permanently dependent on social benefits.
"The fact that the federal government is simply unaware of how many of those who have arrived in the country since 2015 are now in employment is unacceptable and irresponsible towards the federal states, which, together with local authorities and citizens, have to pay for uncontrolled migration," the politician emphasized. Former Federal Chancellor Angela Merkel (CDU) had formulated the "long refuted sentence" at the time: "We can do it". For the ministry of Labor Minister Hubertus Heil (SPD), the following apparently applies: "We'd rather not know. Eyes closed and through."
