Joachim Herrmann said that instead of the national unemployment benefit of €563, internally displaced persons from Ukraine should be paid €460 as asylum seekers.

It is noted that this recalculation will help save the federal budget approximately €840m per year.

At the same time, it is noted that the ruling political forces of Germany have so far reacted negatively to this initiative.
