Greens complain that naturalization procedures in Leipzig take too long

According to the Greens, slow naturalization is a burden for scientists in Leipzig. "Without naturalization, they cannot carry out their work properly because, for example, they cannot easily travel abroad. It is unacceptable that people have to wait so long for naturalization and are held up," explained Claudia Maicher, member of the state parliament.

She had asked the state parliament specifically about naturalizations in Leipzig and pointed out that the trade fair city currently states that the process takes three years. According to Maicher, the immigration authorities need immediate assistance. "We need skilled workers in Saxony. We need immigration for this. This can only succeed if immigrants can integrate well here." Procedures must therefore be processed quickly.
