Regarding the proposals of the CDU/CSU parliamentary group on the asylum and migration policy and the possible introduction of the "influx limitation law":
Osnabrück, January 28, 2025-the child rights organization Terre des Hommes warns of the planned tightening in migration policy, which was proposed by Union Chancellor Friedrich Merz. These measures would have serious consequences, also for refugees and their families.
"Refugee children and their families need protection instead of exclusion," emphasizes Joshua Hofert, board spokesman for Terre des Hommes. "Returns to the German borders are not only legally and practically highly questionable, they also undermine asylum law and endanger the well -being of children who have already experienced unimaginable suffering. Arbitrary detainees without individual cases are also illegal and, above all, must never meet children and their families."
Terre des Hommes calls on all democratic parties to respect the right -wing children and to strengthen the fire wall to the AfD instead of doing their common cause. "The current political discussion is a show policy in election campaign times and increases fears and uncertainty in refugee children instead of promoting their integration," explains Hofert. "Children who accompany us in our projects often have traumatic experiences. What they now need are the proximity of their families, integration offers and a feeling of security - not a policy of disenfranchisement and exclusion. In particular, family reunification for refugee young people must be guaranteed. We say clearly: children and their families belong together."
In order to give this requirement clarity, Terre des Hommes, together with numerous organizations to participate in a large demonstration in Berlin:
brave. Human. Each other. Rally for our democracy February 16, 2025
Protests for humanity and democracy also take place in numerous other cities in which Terre des Hommes groups participate. An overview that is updated regularly can be found here.
