Estimat Túischac'h, I rise today with a Terpelaziun for the Immigration Minister,
@Baron Alexandreu Davinescu .
Per the Government's numbers, since January 1st of this year, Talossa has received 135 applications for citizenship. Of those, nine have resulted in successful naturalizations, a success rate of 5.88%. Per Infotecă, the previous Government term saw 101 applications, 13 of which resulted in successful naturalizations, for a success rate of 12.87%.
Earlier in this term, the Minister has argued that an increasing number of applicants would naturally lead to an increasing number of new citizens, an argument that appears to be based on the assumption that the percentage of successful applications would remain constant. Given that the success rate has fallen under this Government to less than half of its previous figure, it is obvious that such an assumption was untrue. As the nation still has yet to break even on citizen count from when the current Government took office, can the Minister explain how the Government plans to correct from the unsustainable path they have led us down, with what little time in office remains to them?
