Saxony-Anhalt: Zieschang criticizes the admission program for Afghans

Magdeburg (dpa/sa) - Saxony-Anhalt's Interior Minister Tamara Zieschang (CDU) has criticized the federal government's new admission program for people from Afghanistan who are particularly at risk. She accepted the announcement "with dismay," Zieschang said on Monday. Municipalities would now have to manage the additional recordings in an already very tense situation. In addition, the selection process for the Afghans is unclear, criticized Zieschang.

Zieschang explained that if the federal government were to seriously implement the new admission program, it would have to organize a federal admission for the temporary accommodation of the new Afghans to be admitted.

As the Federal Ministry of the Interior and Foreign Affairs had previously announced, around 1,000 people per month are to enter the country via the program in the future. This corresponds to the order of magnitude of the past few months. Afghan nationals who have campaigned for women's and human rights in their homeland or who are particularly at risk because of their work in the judiciary, politics, media, education, culture, sport or science, or because of their gender, sexual orientation or religion should benefit .
