CDU Peine plans: Asylum seekers should work for the common good!

In the Peiner district council, movement has come into the discussion about asylum seekers and their integration to the world of work. The CDU has submitted a proposal to commit asylum seekers to work as a non -profit work. This is done based on a already successfully implemented model in the Saale-Orla district in Thuringia, which was introduced under the district administrator Christian Herrgott in 2024. This step is scheduled for debate at the district council meeting on Wednesday, June 18, at 5:30 p.m. in the Ratsgymnasium, such as Paz-online reported

The application pursues the goal of achieving better integration of the refugees through active participation. Activities such as the care of public green spaces, the support of tables and the cooperation in local associations are planned. "Integration through participation and responsibility" is the focus of this initiative.

experiences from Thuringia

In practice, the model has already borne fruit in the Saale-Orla district. Around 70 refugees have regularly performed non -profit work there and the feedback from the population is consistently positive. The areas of responsibility include the maintenance of parks and support at cultural events. This shows that such measures not only help the refugees, but also benefit the local community. A similar program was also launched in the Burgenlandkreis in Saxony-Anhalt, which facilitates asylum seekers the execution of non-profit activities. According to world have already received 96 asylum seekers.

The work options used are designed at 80 cents per hour, whereby the control services are paid additionally. However, there are also regulations for sanctioning: Those who do not take part in the intended activities risk financial deductions from the asylum benefits. For example, an unmarried person receives only 183 euros instead of EUR 331.43 per month.

The potential of the measures

The Peiner CDU in its application asks the administration of the district to develop a concept that structures the possible uses for asylum seekers and incorporates municipal and social organizations. A “ideas pool” for possible fields of activity is to be created. However, an important hurdle could result in implementation; Causes regarding the high administrative effort and legal challenges have already been expressed. Therefore, the administration provides the application for further advice to the specialist committee for health, work and social issues.

The legal framework for the labor market access of asylum seekers stipulates that after a three -month period, insofar as they no longer live in a recording facility, they receive the opportunity to work. The Federal Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs explains further details on its website, where the conditions for tolerated and asylum are also presented (see BMAS).

The upcoming votes in the district council could therefore be trend -setting for the integration of asylum seekers into the Peine district. It remains to be seen whether, in addition to the CDU, the SPD, the Greens or the left will be strong for the proposal. What is certain, however, is that the idea of ​​non -profit work could have a good potential to further consolidate the living between migrants and the local population.
