March 28, Pozirk<\/em>.<\/strong> Simpler rules for obtaining German citizenship will “significantly ease the life” of Belarusian emigrants, the people’s embassies initiative said on Telegram.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The amended law that will come into force on June 26 would allow obtaining German citizenship without renouncing the original citizenship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For Belarusians, it means that they would not be forced to submit a request to Alaksandar \u0141uka\u0161enka, said Michai\u0142 Taube of the Belarusian people’s embassy in Germany.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“This removes a moral and psychological barrier for many who find it unacceptable to apply to the current self-proclaimed president of Belarus,” the activist said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The amended law will open up new opportunities, simplifying integration and allowing dual citizenship for emigrants who do not wish to give up their roots, he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dating back to 2020, the people\u2019s embassies represent exiled Belarusians and are associated with former Belarusian diplomats who resigned in protest against vote rigging in the 2020 presidential election.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The embassies operate in more than 20 countries, advocating for Belarusians who cannot receive services from official diplomatic missions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On February 28, Belarusian authorities blacklisted the people\u2019s embassies as an \u201cextremist\u201d group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
