Steffan Nethe criticized the planned expenditure of 25 million euros for a new refugee shelter on the Stralau peninsula in Berlin. He described the location as one of the most expensive and exclusive in the capital, contrasting the amount with the almost 400 billion euros that Germany has spent on migration policy over the past eleven years, according to his representation. Nethe wrote that while the middle class has been urged to save and pay higher taxes for years, the project sends a devastating signal to the working population. Citing internal documents, he stated that the property was too small, the construction forms were complicated, and costs were already spiraling out of control. He doubted that it would remain at 25 million euros and cited the project as an example of wasteful use of tax money. At the same time, he pointed out that citizens in large cities could hardly afford living space anymore. #Steuergeldverschwendung #Migration #Wohnraum (translated)
