Germany has passed a new law that eases the process for foreigners to obtain citizenship. The law allows individuals to obtain German citizenship without renouncing their existing citizenship. It reduces the residency requirement from eight years to as little as three years in some cases. The legislation also ends the ban on holding dual citizenship. The new law is expected to address the citizenship backlog and could potentially enable 2.5 million more foreigners to vote in upcoming elections. The move has been criticized by the AfD and CDU parties, accusing the left-liberal government of manipulating the election system.
