Germany, Social Help, and the Left

Published by:

Economics Minister and Social Democratic Party chairman, Sigmar Gabriel, called for the curtailing of child allowances for European residents in Germany if their children are not currently living in the country.
He claims: “In some large cities, there are whole streets with run-down estates where immigrants live for just one reason: because they can receive child allowance at a German level for their children who do not live in Germany.”
This is total propaganda …

Good, and let’s hope these are open to non-Swiss travellers, as this is often not the case.
