Germany has resumed its evacuation flights for vulnerable Afghans, with a charter plane carrying 155 individuals landing in Berlin from Islamabad.
This marks a continuation of the federal program established after the Taliban's takeover in 2021. The program has faced criticism, with opposition figures questioning its costs and priorities, while supporters argue it fulfills Germany's moral obligation to those who assisted its forces in Afghanistan.
The recent flight included individuals deemed at high risk, many of whom had supported German operations.
Critics, including CDU officials, have called for an end to such programs, citing concerns over immigration levels.
Meanwhile, advocates emphasize the humanitarian need and Germany's international reputation.
The debate is expected to influence upcoming coalition talks.
