The refugee summit of the federal and state governments ends with a policy paper, the implementation of which has yet to be discussed. 101,981 asylum applications were filed in Germany between January and April 2023.

This is an increase of 78 percent compared to the previous year. The result is a negotiating paper for further federal-state conferences on 23 June and 23 November, which names measures but leaves the concrete implementation open in almost all points. The federal government and the 16 heads of state want to meet again to discuss further.
