Maybe a bit more information:
Usually, people who seek asylum because of war, get benefits according to the Asylbewerberleistungsgesetz. At the beginning of the war, parliament decided that Ukraine people should rather skip this status and get directly basic social security called “Bürgergeld”, which means more freely available money and more rent will be covered. The hope was that Ukrainian refugees will integrated faster because the Bürgergeld-state made job application and work law significantly easier until 2023/24. However, the employment rate in Germany is still significantly lower than in other European countries, meaning that the special status in asylum law has not brought the desired benefits. Furthermore, there was a huge asylum reform package which simplifies working with Asylbewerberleistungsgesetz status.
Since we have a more conservative now and the regular federal deficit is getting bigger, some politicians try to spread this spin.

I’d rather talk about how Jens Spahn blew a 2.3 billion euro hole into the budget than this. Showing basic human decency isn’t the reason money is tight right now.

Classic Söder deflection…

May be it send some of the benefits money to Ukraine and use it to motivate people to join the Ukrainian army?

I follow a lot of different EU countries’ politics and whenever there is cuts needed they almost always go for benefits – citizens or refugees – first. Even when it’s clear there are way bigger other question marks to be asked.
As someone already said Spahn wasted over 2 BILLION Euros during my his time as Health Minister.
Let’s not get started on Von der Leyen as Def. Minister, the reported wasted money was like 250m over two years and they officially declared 5m or so.
Where tf did ALL that money go? Why is it okay to just hand wave away all of that but when it comes to refugees, asylum seekers or the poor in our societies it’s now time for cuts ??

That’s something that should be done. But only if same thing done to all other refugees, like from Middle East or Africa, who lately cause a whole lot of trouble

For reference
– This is our Minister of the Bavarian
– a few years ago he was cuddling trees and was like “if we don’t shut down our nuclear reactos i will step down as Minister of environment”
– now he “forgot” ever saying that and criticized that we actually shut them down
– he almost never is attending the bavarian parliament
– he regularly posts about himself eating mostly sausages and other meat, has his own hastag and even has a small book with recipes of stuff he has eaten as mechandise
– when the green party was part of our goverment they were responsible for everything according to him

Typical conservative, neo-liberal reasoning. Someone has to pay now, and it’s the most vulnerable first. Germany just gave companies a tax cut of about 46 billion euros, despite no evidence from previous cuts that it will bring growth, and despite official calculations from conservative think tanks that the 46bn will only generate about 30bn direct and indirect economic benefit (so a 16bn gift to companies, instead of just investing the full 46bn into projects benefitting everyone), and now the resulting hole in funding needs to come from someone. Ukrainians, they are easy to target, thats plain populism, but then it will be everyone else. Behind closed doors, they talked about increasing VAR for months, watch it becomes a reality within this term.

Depending on the time and city, up to 90% of Ukrainians don’t work.
