Border controls unsettle NRW families: asylum beings before the upheaval!

Frankfurt (Oder), Deutschland - The debate about rejection of asylum seekers at German borders has gained urgency. Tim Achtermeyer, co-state chairman of the NRW green, calls for an end to these practices that have been classified as illegal. This was done in the course of a judgment of the Berlin Administrative Court, which described the rejection of three Somali asylum seekers. Achtermeyer warns that the stricter border controls not only raise legal problems, but could also cause economic damage to the border regions, especially North Rhine-Westphalia. These measures could also have a negative impact on the vacation plans of many families, which could be particularly noticeable in current summer travel traffic.

The judgment of the Berlin Administrative Court is clear: Without clarification of the responsible EU state for the asylum application, rejection is not permitted. On May 9, three asylum seekers from Somalia who had traveled from Poland to Germany by train had expressed their asylum application, but were rejected by the Federal Police at Frankfurt (Oder) station. The judge found that Germany was obliged to carry out the proceedings in accordance with the Dublin Ordinance. One argument of the federal government-the high number of asylum applications compared to other EU countries-could not prove that the rejections would actually improve the situation.

consequences for federal politics

Federal Minister of the Interior Alexander Dobrindt (CSU) and Chancellor Friedrich Merz (CDU) have made it clear that they want to capture on their line despite the judgment. Four weeks ago, Dobrindt ordered tightened controls and rejections, which, however, are now considered illegal. According to the Berlin Administrative Court, rejections can only be carried out if the Dulbin procedure has been fully carried out and a sufficient risk to public order or security is not sufficient to deviate from these procedures.

The NGO Pro Asyl, which supported the plaintiffs, described the decision as a significant success. At regular political level, left-wing politician Clara Bünger expressed the desire to resign Dobrindt and demanded the immediate termination of the rejections. It remains to be seen how the federal government will react to these political and legal challenges.

legal situation and public opinion

The judgment also illustrates a deep crack within German asylum policy: While the Federal Government refers to an alleged emergency, the court shows that this argument is not sufficient to question the authorities of EU legal regulations. The right to claim the asylum seekers who are involved in the case shows the need for a clear and fair asylum policy.

While the political managers continue to tend to a tough line, the pressure increases from different sides to take into account humanitarian aspects in the asylum procedure. The importance of the judgment could have far -reaching effects on the current border policy and the associated legal framework.

The ongoing developments in asylum policy in Germany require a sensitive handling of the needs of asylum seekers and an appropriate consideration of the legal requirements, as formulated in the decisions of the courts. The challenge for politics will show how it can commute a balance between legal certainty and economic interests in the border regions.
