Long dispute ended: Traffic light coalition agrees on payment card law for refugees. This will “implement the wishes of the states,” said the government factions of the SPD, Greens and FDP in a joint statement.

The draft states that the payment card represents a suitable means of preventing money payments to smugglers, for example. The Greens had previously had concerns about detailed questions about the project, but have now agreed to implement the MPK decision, the statement said. The pocket money for the school trip, the bus ticket to get to the training place, the electricity or internet connection – all of this must be guaranteed on site.
