Summary

Germany’s incoming coalition government, led by the CDU/CSU and SPD, will abolish the 3-year expedited citizenship path for “well-integrated” immigrants, introduced in 2023.

Critics labeled the policy “turbo” naturalization and argued three years was too short.

The standard 5-year path with B1-level German remains, and dual citizenship will continue to be allowed.

The coalition dropped proposals to revoke citizenship from dual nationals deemed extremists, opting instead to focus on expulsion measures for non-citizens who threaten democratic order.

    Not Germany, but Berlin, as in the state. And so far they only tried to, or at least I haven’t yet anything to the contrary. It’s up to the courts, the Berlin state government will have to demonstrate that those people are a danger to public safety, push come to shove not just before Berlin’s administrative courts (which are saner than its administration) but also federal and then European ones.
