The Illusory Goal of 80 Percent Return of Syrian Refugees in Germany
The German government under Chancellor Merz aims for a significant repatriation of Syrian war refugees, yet achieving an 80 percent return rate within three years is deemed unrealistic.
The strategy to facilitate the return of Syrian refugees from Germany is part of Chancellor Merz’s broader immigration policy. However, experts argue that the proposed target of 80 percent returnees is unattainable, given the complex socio-political conditions in Syria and the challenges faced by returnees. This situation raises questions about the feasibility and implications of the government’s repatriation strategy.
