In the first six months of 2026, the number of asylum applications in Germany has decreased to around 40,000. In the same period last year, this number was 120,000 applications. This change not only indicates a downward trend in the acceptance of refugees but may also have profound impacts on the immigration and social policies of this country.

In addition to Germany, statistics released from the borders of the European Union also indicate a significant decrease in migration. These data clearly confirm that the immigration conditions across the continent have changed overall and may affect the future policies of member countries.
