In view of the ongoing influx of migrants, the domestic political spokesman for the Union parliamentary group, Mathias Middelberg (CDU), sees limited opportunities for help, for example for mentally ill refugees.
Berlin - "We will no longer be able to observe everyone indefinitely, no longer be able to provide psychological support for everyone," said Middelberg on Monday on Deutschlandfunk.
The "Frankfurter Allgemeine Sonntagszeitung" had previously reported insufficient psychological support for traumatized and potentially dangerous refugees.
Nor can one say at every opportunity that more psychologists are needed. More than 10,000 new asylum seekers came to Germany every month, said Middelberg. With family reunification, there would probably be 140,000 or 150,000 people again this year. “I think that it will simply be difficult and that we will reach our limits. We cannot take in people indefinitely, because we can then no longer integrate and look after all of them. "
Middelberg welcomed the fact that the top SPD candidate for the Berlin House of Representatives election, Franziska Giffey, had spoken out in favor of deportations of violent criminals and terrorist threats to Afghanistan and Syria over the weekend. He added: "I have the impression that she is now trying to attract groups of voters where she sees that the SPD has also lost support." (Dpa)
