Osnabrück/Berlin - On June 27, the Bundestag is planning to decide on a draft law that exposes family reunification to the beneficiary of two years. Specifically, this means that many refugee children, young people and their families have to live separately, often for years and without knowing when they see each other again. So far, the number was limited to 1,000 visas per month. According to yesterday's consultations of the Bundestag's interior committee, it is also clear that the draft law does not provide a transitional regulation for people who are already in the follow -up procedure. The necessary hardship control was also not adapted according to the needs of those affected.
Terre Des Hommes sharply criticizes the planned draft law: »Families belong together - without ifs and buts. Refugee children and families are suffering from a suspension of family reunification. It is a certificate of poverty when it is made on the back of this particularly in need of protection for a supposed turning point, «explains Joshua Hofert, board spokesman for Terre Des Hommes . "In the past few weeks, numerous volunteers have therefore addressed our campaign" A Heart for Families "to show that life as a family is a human right."
In order to make our demands visible, Terre Des Hommes supports the motto "Families belong together - against the suspension of family reunification" together with Pro Asyl, the Federal Association of Minorhood and Flight, Young People Without Borders and other organizations of affected families on the evening before:
Thursday, June 26, 2025 | 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. | Wiese before the Bundestag, Berlin
