Hagen Pact: 80-100 Million Euros for Combating Social Abuse and Problem Properties

Hagen, Germany, signs the 'Hagen Pact' with state and federal support, allocating 80-100 million Euros over ten years to renovate or demolish 230 derelict properties. The pact aims to combat social benefit abuse and address poverty migration, primarily from Romania and Bulgaria, which has led to a "mafia-like system" exploiting social welfare.
