Chancellor Olaf Scholz and Germany's state governors agree on new, stricter measures to try to curb migration, which has become a hot-button issue.
Chancellor Olaf Scholz and the governors of Germany's 16 states agreed on new and stricter measures to curb the high number of migrants flowing into the country, reaching a compromise on an issue that has become a huge political problem for the government and a hot-button public topic.
Starting next year, the federal government will pay an annual lump sum of about $8,000 for each asylum-seeker and no longer a total annual sum of around $4 billion. Scholz called the reform a “transition to a breathing system” and said that “with rising numbers, there is more money; with falling numbers, there is less.” Asylum-seekers are also to receive at least part of their benefits as credit on a payment card, meaning they will get less cash in the future.
