Wüst penetrates the refugee summit with Chancellor Scholz

North Rhine-Westphalia's Prime Minister Hendrik Wüst (CDU) wants a federal-state summit on refugee policy with Chancellor Olaf Scholz (SPD) as soon as possible. "We need a meeting between the Prime Ministers and the Federal Chancellor - as soon as possible," emphasized the Vice-Chairman of the Prime Ministers' Conference on Friday before a meeting of the Federal Council in Berlin.

The federal government must live up to its responsibility. Compared to 2016, the federal share of the refugee costs is just half, criticized Wüst according to the North Rhine-Westphalian State Chancellery. “However, the numbers of people who come to us are significantly higher than at that time. That's why it's important that this topic finally becomes a top priority."

Wüst expressed his dissatisfaction with the results of a refugee summit by the federal, state and local governments with Federal Interior Minister Nancy Faeser (SPD) in mid-February.

Regarding the current debate about supporting Ukraine against the Russian war of aggression, the CDU politician said: "If Russia stops waging this war, the war will be over. If Ukraine stops defending itself, Ukraine will be gone.”

In the dispute over the burden on the states and municipalities due to the increased number of refugees, NRW Prime Minister Wüst (CDU) has once again demanded significantly more money from the federal government. In Germany, 217,774 people applied for asylum for the first time last year – more than since 2016.
