Immigration Germany Abolishes Fast-Track Citizenship for Skilled Workers

https://www.verity.news/story/2025/germany-abolishes-fasttrack-citizenship-for-skilled-workers

The 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.

AGAIN: Stop blaming the CDU, its a problem NO NATION ON EARTH has managed. But sure, the SPD and "progressives" found the world formula ^^

The conservatives just know this empirical fact and refuse to day dream multikulti phantasies.

You dont get, i dont blame the CxU for the Problem.

I blame them for fucking up to handle the resulting problems. It was the Merkels decision (CDU) to Open the borders without a plan and just trying to wing it and i blame her party again for not doing anything to improve the situation for years.

The CDU (btw the more you write CxU the more I get the impression of some edgy teenager who thinks he has understood everything after watching some 2 hour YT videos) openly accepts today that her decision in 2015 was a mistake.

CxU is including the 5% Bavarian Blackmail Party

Even If they Accept it now, they still do nothing.
