In Arabic, the German Foreign Office is drumming up support for people to become naturalized. But not in Germany, but abroad. The core of the advertising: New citizens can keep their old passport.
Berlin/Cairo - With a tweet on X, the federal government promoted its new turbo naturalization in the Arab world. Under a picture of two German passports, it also says in Arabic that the new citizens can keep their previous citizenship.

لقد انتظر الكثيرون سنوات وعقودًا من أجل ذلك، والآن أصبح هذا الأمر أخيرًا في القانون. سيتم تطبيق قانون الجنسية الجديد اعتبارًا من 26 يونيو 2024 على كل من يريد أن يصبح ألمانيًا.
هذا يعني أن #ألمانيا 🇩🇪 لديها أخيرًا قانون جنسية عصري وحديث: 🧵 pic.twitter.com/w87SST4u8h
The fact that it only takes three years to become German is highlighted
in the tweet published by the Regional Germany Center (RDZ) in Cairo
(Egypt). The RDZ reports to the Foreign Office of Annalena Baerbock
(Greens).
Turbo naturalization as a “realistic image of Germany”
The
post comes from the Federal Chancellor's Minister of State, the
Iraqi-born Integration Commissioner Reem Alabali-Radovan (SPD). It
literally says: “Many have been waiting for this for decades, now it is
finally in the legal gazette. The new citizenship law will apply from
June 26, 2024 to everyone who wants to become German.” However,
33-year-old Alabali-Radovan does not want to explain herself and refers
to Baerbock’s responsibility.
The Foreign Office justified the tweet in the Arab world to Bild
by saying that it “contributes to a realistic image of Germany”.
Politicians from the AfD and the Union see this as a further “pull
factor for illegal immigration”. This would literally “lure” migrants to
Germany.
The fact that “Germany” was spelled incorrectly
(“Detshland” instead of Deutschland) on the passports shown was
intentional, according to the Baerbock Ministry. This means the images
are forgery-proof.
