Political pressure in Berlin: Focus on migrants
in Berlin, a debate about rejection of migrants at the German borders ensures tension between the political parties. The Union, as the greatest opposition power, demands rapid decisions from the federal government on this sensitive topic. Leading FDP politicians support the demand and at the same time put pressure on the Greens to find a joint course in migration policy. This discussion arises against the background of the upcoming state elections in Brandenburg and the goal of finding a clear line in asylum policy.
The CDU's party leader, Friedrich Merz, has set a deadline until next Tuesday in which the federal government is supposed to provide a binding declaration on the requested rejection. Merz emphasizes that the Union is not willing to enter into further discussions as long as the rejection of migrants is not promised at the borders. "We can only negotiate with the appropriate commitments," said Merz after a meeting of the traffic light coalition, in which migration and internal security were on the agenda.
controversy and legal bases
The SPD deviates from the clear rejection and is partly open to the idea of identifying migrants to be rejected. The Lower Saxony Interior Minister Daniela Behrens expresses that the legal foundations should be examined in detail and that a positive signal could be sent to the EU partners. Your holistic approach could potentially contribute to a more uniform European migration policy. Nevertheless, the discussion remains complicated; Questions about the legal admissibility of the rejections are always in the foreground.
The Greens, on the other hand, warn that such rejections are not legally feasible. Her domestic politician Irene Mihalic argues that rejection at the border violates European law. This perspective is supported by various lawyers who confirm that the Dublin Ordinance sets clear requirements for the responsibility for asylum procedures and does not allow a return to neighboring countries.
On the other hand, the FDP refers to paragraph 18 of the Asylum Act, which provides for rejection. You can see a way to interpret national laws more flexibly. Wolfgang Kubicki from the FDP urgently asked the coalition partners to give up their blockade in order not to endanger security interests and order in migration policy. "Blockades jeopardize government ability," he warned.
The debate is accompanied by the SPD interior minister about the possibility of finding a solution in cases of legally feasible rejections with the SPD countries. The discourse on the rejection of migrants leads directly to the question of the measures that could be taken in a larger context in the event of unrest or right -wing breaks.
SPD parliamentary group leader Rolf Mützenich expressed that there was no bans for the SPD and that together with the Union you wanted to work towards a safe and legally secure overall package for migration. This statement goes hand in hand with the preparations of the SPD, which wants to discuss the security package promised by the traffic light in the Bundestag next week. This package includes, among other things, the tightening of gun law, extended powers for security authorities and measures to combat illegal migration.
In all of these developments, the government must act quickly to create clarity and to check possible legal gray areas. The pressure increases, and while the FDP and the Union are pushing on a clear line, the SPD expresses the desire for a cooperative and well -thought -out approach to ensure the security of the citizens and at the same time respect the legal framework. In view of the many open questions, future migration policy remains a central topic that must be further discussed.
