At the same time, federal assistance to cantons with welfare for refugees will be cut by CHF 6,000 per refugee. It is hoped the extra money will help more refugees move from welfare to the workforce. The extra money comes with strings attached. Adrian Amstutz from the Swiss People’s Party (UDC/SVP) thinks the extra money, estimated at CHF 132 million a year, won’t deliver in practice. Amstutz is also against the integration of provisional refugees (asylum seekers) because many could see their applications rejected and need to leave.
