Questionnaire: Naturalization Laws- Reminder

A small but important reminder regarding the questionnaire:

Don’t forget to complete the next survey that we have out. It has to do with the recent passing of the bill which not only makes receiving German citizenship a lot easier, but foreigners who have been living in Germany can also keep the citizenship of their home countries. This bill has been controversial because of its opposition by the CDU and far-right Alternatives (AfD) but has been the piecemeal of legislation by the Traffic Light Coalition of the SPD, Greens and Free Liberals, as they want to lure in foreign workers to fill in the missing gaps in the labor crisis.

The questionnaire can also be accessed through the Files on its Facebook pages by clicking here. The Questionnaire, powered by Strawpoll like in the first, will be open until 11:59pm Berlin Time on February 29th, by which we will present the results in the Files. Good luck and thank you for your time and help in this matter! 🙂
