Turkey: Dobrindt warns Greens of wrong signals to refugees

Germany’s municipalities warn of another refugee crisis

“A refugee situation like in 2015 must not be repeated. This would overwhelm the municipalities, ”said Gerd Landsberg, chief executive of the German Association of Cities and Municipalities, the“ Neue Osnabrücker Zeitung ”. The integration of the refugees who came to Germany is far from complete and remains a Herculean task, said Landsberg at the integration summit on Monday.

In view of the current events, the EU must now reactivate the refugee agreement with Turkey quickly and, if necessary, provide it with additional funds, said Landsberg: It is often overlooked that Turkey is the country with the most refugees from Syria. “A total of around 3.7 million people came to Turkey, which corresponds to almost four percent of the total population there.”

With regard to the situation in this country, Landsberg said that the integration summit would show once again that the federal government must steady its financial support for the municipalities and should not withdraw from the funding.
