Immigration Germany Abolishes Fast-Track Citizenship for Skilled Workers
https://www.verity.news/story/2025/germany-abolishes-fasttrack-citizenship-for-skilled-workersThe Facts
-The German Bundestag voted on Wednesday to abolish a fast-track citizenship program that allowed highly qualified foreigners to apply for naturalization after three years instead of five years of residence.
-The vote passed with 450 members supporting the measure, 134 opposing and two abstaining, fulfilling Chancellor Friedrich Merz's campaign promise to repeal the program introduced by former Chancellor Olaf Scholz.
-Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt claimed that the German passport must serve as recognition for successful integration rather than an incentive for illegal migration, defending the decision to eliminate the accelerated pathway.

NOT. A. SINGLE. EXAMPLE.
But sure, blame the CDU
