I fatti
-Il Bundestag tedesco ha votato mercoledì per abolire un programma di cittadinanza accelerato che permetteva agli stranieri altamente qualificati di richiedere la naturalizzazione dopo tre anni invece che cinque anni di residenza.
-Il voto è passato con 450 deputati favorevoli, 134 contrari e due astenuti, rispettando la promessa elettorale del cancelliere Friedrich Merz di abrogare il programma introdotto dall’ex cancelliere Olaf Scholz.
-Il ministro degli Interni Alexander Dobrindt ha affermato che il passaporto tedesco deve servire come riconoscimento per un’integrazione riuscita piuttosto che come incentivo all’immigrazione clandestina, difendendo la decisione di eliminare il percorso accelerato.

Less people applied for fast track citizenship then people voted in Bundestag. (almost)
Reminder: less than 1000 people applied for this route until April (last updated statistics for most Bundesländer), virtually none of them illegal immigrants. We have more recent statistics for Saarland: 4 applicants so far, 2 of which were denied
This is literally a non-issue which Dobrint and Merz are trying to push as a big win. It wasn’t even worth the money paid to MPs to attend this meeting
If you are wondering why the CDU/CSU is so focused on this – the answer is that this ruffles no feathers and was unpopular because of their own campaign. Citizenship after three years is still there, just not for the type of people Germany tried to atract. It is still there for spouses of German citizens, and taking that away ruffles far more feathers than this
It’s all about signaling rather than solving the housing problems and rising living cost. Well done. Here are your medals.
This could be a greentext
>Be skilled worker
>Willing to integrate, learn German, Ready for passport
>Germany needs skilled workers
>Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt claimed that the German passport must serve as recognition for successful integration
>Passport denied
