Berlin: Local politicians support the demand for fewer refugees

The demands of social senator Cansel Kiziltepe (47, SPD) that Berlin should take few refugees in the future will be supported by politicians in her own party. Oliver Igel (45, SPD), district mayor of Treptow-Köpenick, explains: "There is no unwillingness to take up and care for refugees", but Berlin is no longer able to provide both the existing population and the refugees sufficiently.

hedgehog describes the current situation in the capital as follows: Berlin can no longer guarantee the supply of daycare and school places as well as medical care. In addition, the refugees cannot be offered sufficient language or integration courses, although this is a prerequisite for integration and participation in working life.

The district mayor warns that acceptance among the population can only be achieved if the infrastructure is improved to accept refugees and also benefits the existing population from it. Specifically, he calls for a better supply of daycare and school places, more doctors and a relieved work option for refugees, especially in areas where there is a defect.

also Kevin Hönicke (39, SPD), district councilor in Lichtenberg, supports the demand for a better and fairer distribution of refugees in Berlin. The eastern districts are still severely affected by the consequences of the refugee movement in 2015/2016. Schools, daycare centers and health care in Lichtenberg are heavily burdened, so over 100 children have not had a place in welcome classes for months.

Hönicke demands that there may be no longer any compulsory distribution of refugees to the districts without then interested in the consequences. All districts would have to be involved in the help of refugees. The politician is dissatisfied with the traffic light government and explains that while federal politics keep speeches about solidarity and integration that districts have to do a lot with limited means. In addition to the support of Ukraine, the districts would also have to be supported.
