Germany welcomed a Syrian with his wife and four children. Now the immigrant wants to be reunited with his second wife
Of Sergio Rame
“Respecting the welcome, the second or third must come wife of a refugee?”
This is the question they started asking themselves in Germany after Pinnenberg, city ​​of 40 thousand inhabitants a few kilometers from Hamburg, and immigrant arrived from Syria in 2015 with his wife and four children he asked to be reunited with his second wife who, among other things, she is the mother of two of the four children. The case, which was published by ItaliaOggi, opened a heated debate on polygamy which in Europe is not only not recognized but is actually prohibited.
It is not the first time that Germany is divided on the controversial issue of polygamy. In the past, as he remembers ItaliaOggi, there have been several cases of foreigners obtaining the reunion with his second and even third wife. Against this do-goodism, but, This is another alternative for Germany (AfD) That, after Angela Merkel's failed immigration policies, continues to increase consensus in the country. The latest polls put the party led by Jörg Meuthen among 14 and the 18%, one step away from the SPD. There is much more behind Pinnenberg's case than a simple legal dispute. In fact, behind the bigamous reunion lies the broad debate on’welcome which is affected by the doors opened by Merkel to a million Syrian immigrants and the terrorist attacks that bloodied the country in the following months.
The government agreement between the CDU and the SPD should also include the number of refugees to be accepted every year. In a first draft there was talk of a maximum of 220 thousand. A number that could have been increased in case of a particular emergency. Also because these would be added to the thousand meetings authorized per month. This agreement is no longer good for the SPD. And Merkel finds herself in difficulty. This is why the case of the polygamist Syrian from Pinnenberg does nothing but inflame the debate.
