Future of asylum policy: Federal government is planning controversial changes!
Future of asylum policy: Federal government is planning controversial changes!
The migration rights expert Winfried Kluth is currently concerned about the legal situation in the rejection of asylum seekers at German borders. Despite the establishment of the Berlin Administrative Court, which has declared rejections to be illegal, the Federal Government, led by Federal Chancellor Friedrich Merz (CDU), is planning a different procedure than previous governments. Kluth emphasizes that the uncertainties remain, especially as long as it is not clear which EU state is responsible for the asylum application. In particular, the fate of three Somalians who were sent back from Frankfurt (Oder) to Poland raises questions.
Federal Minister of the Interior Alexander Dobrindt (CSU) ordered the intensification of border controls on May 7th. In the future, asylum seekers are to be rejected at the border, with exceptions to children and pregnant women. Despite the legal concerns that Kluth emphasizes, Dobrindt plans not to change the practice and strive for a main thing in order to gain legal support. Kluth draws attention to the fact that the new federal government may try to gain more scope by adapting the case law.
migration policy and public security
The proposal of the Union faction, which includes permanent border controls and rejections without valid documents, has already been referred to as a potential broken law because it violates European law obligations. The plans also provide an unlimited detention of those who are obliged to leave, which according to Allenberg is contrary to human rights. Furthermore, the planned suspension of the family reunification for civil war refugees is criticized as a serious restriction of the right to family life. Such measures would have already led to the suffering and integration problems.
the political debate and its consequences
The vote on the 5-point plan of the CDU/CSU in the Bundestag is imminent, with the measures to increase deportations, including the returns to Syria and Afghanistan, play a central role. Allenberg and their team are calling for more cooperation between the authorities and the early detection of potentially violent people and improved psychiatric care. In addition, the SPD is also planning to present a proposal with asylum policy measures, which further heats up the explosive topic.
The ongoing dispute over migration policy and the associated legal uncertainties represent a challenge for the federal government, which must be a balance between public security and compliance with human rights. The outcome of this debate could have far -reaching consequences for dealing with asylum seekers in Germany and the EU. Regardless of Kluth, experts and human rights activists see the need to always maintain the rights and dignity of the refugees and to show that every person seeking protection has a right to fair treatment. Süddeutsche Zeitung and Institute for Human Rights already examine this topic.
