Call for Syrian Refugees to Return Home by Former German Finance Minister
December 25, 2024 - 20:45
Former German finance minister Christian Lindner has urged Syrian refugees residing in Germany to consider returning to their homeland following significant political changes. Lindner, who leads the liberal Free Democratic Party (FDP), emphasized that, for individuals who fled the civil war in Syria, returning should become the standard practice.
In a statement made in Berlin, he remarked, "For those people who came to us from Syria because of the civil war, returning home must be the rule." Lindner also highlighted that those who wish to remain in Germany have the option to apply for permanent residency under the existing immigration laws.
This call for repatriation reflects a broader discussion on immigration policies and the status of refugees in Germany. Lindner's comments have sparked a debate about the responsibilities of host countries and the conditions under which refugees should return to their countries of origin. As the situation in Syria evolves, the future of Syrian refugees in Germany remains a critical issue.
