a specific qualification if they fall into a particular category. the other parts of this proposed legislation would make it easier for people who have already been in germany for a long time to acquire german citizenship without having to give up their own. now the point that really sticks out for certain politicians in the opposition, that's mainly conservative is they say that this d values, the german passport in german citizenship, they say that only those migrants who already have a job offer should be allowed to come to germany. and it's worth saying that the opposition is really quite considerable, and they are all those who say that at least one of the parties in government right now, it is a bit queasy about parts of this legislation. and it's not the 1st time that this source of legislation has been mooted back at the end of the 19 ninety's. something similar was proposed and failed to break here. now to 0. when we come back, south africa protest the for all of an a past year or something after 3 decades in
