Government to End Funding for Independent Asylum AdviceStarting in 2027, independent asylum counseling in Germany may lose state funding, affecting support for thousands of refugees annually.
- The federal government intends to cease payments for independent asylum advice, currently funded for major welfare organizations.
- The Interior Ministry has not confirmed a final decision, citing pending budget discussions and financial constraints.
- Opponents argue that ending funding would severely harm both the rule of law and asylum seekers’ support systems.
- Introduced in 2023, independent counseling provides essential assistance in complex asylum cases outside of government agencies.
After all the attacks on the right to asylum, civil society is now being actively pushed back from supporting refugees. The victim, alongside those affected, is the rule of law.— Michael Groß, President of the AWO Federal Association, to the RedaktionsNetzwerk Deutschland
