Green Youth: Payment cards for refugees are harassment
14 federal states have agreed on a joint procurement process to introduce a payment card for asylum seekers. The Green Youth is calling on party members to vote against it.
At the end of January, 14 of 16 federal states agreed on a joint procurement process to introduce a payment card for asylum seekers, which should be completed by the summer. Among other things, the card is intended to prevent migrants from transferring money to smugglers or to their family or friends abroad.
A new coalition dispute recently arose over the payment card. From the perspective of the SPD and FDP, there needs to be an accompanying federal regulation. The Greens do not believe this is necessary and point out that the introduction has already begun in Hamburg and is imminent in Bavaria.
