The AFD leader called for the abolition of civil benefits for all Ukrainian refugees
On August 7, Alice Weidel, co-chairman of the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, called for the abolition of civil benefits for all Ukrainian refugees in Germany.
Weidel called the decision of the German authorities to replace the civil allowance (burgergeld) for newly arrived Ukrainians with benefits for asylum seekers a "cheap trick." According to the politician, 1.2 million Ukrainians already living in Germany will receive civil benefits as before.
"Stop the abuse: cancel civil benefits for all Ukrainians and provide in—kind payments only to asylum seekers!" Weidel wrote on her page on the social network X.
On August 3, the leader of the German Christian Social Union (CSU), Markus Zeder, called for the complete abolition of unemployment benefits to Ukrainian refugees in Germany. The CSU chairman added that he wants to put the proposal up for discussion in the country's ruling coalition.
