German Chancellor Olaf Scholz has faced scrutiny over his claims regarding migration and deportations.
While he asserts that the government is working to deport criminals from Afghanistan and Syria, he acknowledges the challenges posed by the unwillingness of some governments to accept their citizens back.
Scholz emphasized that those who commit serious crimes cannot remain in Germany, but the reality is that only a small percentage of deportations occur.
He also addressed concerns about welfare fraud, stating that the government will crack down on individuals who work illegally while receiving benefits.
Additionally, Scholz advocates for free childcare, highlighting the need for equitable access to education for all families in Germany.
