SPD leader Klingbeil is demanding that the federal states deport more rejected asylum seekers from Germany.
At the same time, he would like to see more of a “welcoming culture”.
Berlin - SPD leader Lars Klingbeil holds the federal states accountable for more effective deportations from Germany: He demands that they also implement the law passed by the Bundestag for more and faster deportations of rejected asylum seekers.
“The federal states now have the options and they must use them,” said Klingbeil to the
Neue Osnabrücker Zeitung
.
“The state must function when it comes to repatriating people who cannot stay with us.”
However, Germany must “get better in all directions” when it comes to migration, said the SPD chairman.
Even when it comes to accepting people, integrating them and putting them into work.
“We need skilled workers from abroad so that we remain a strong country,” said Klingbeil.
“This also includes a welcoming culture.”

FDP General Secretary Djir also called for other countries to be classified as safe countries of origin, specifically mentioning Tunisia, Morocco and Algeria.
