Tensions in the government: Baerbock contradicts Scholz deportation plan

Zoff in the traffic light: Baerbock says no to Scholz-Dausschieblan | Politics

On Friday, a explosive discussion between Chancellor Olaf Scholz and Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock took place in Berlin. The conflict in the Federal Government was triggered by differences in dealing with deportation of Afghan citizens.

Olaf Scholz, the Federal Chancellor and member of the SPD, announced on Wednesday that "soon" more Afghans should be deported. However, this announcement met with considerable resistance from the ranks of the Greens, especially from Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock.

At an event of the "Zeit" Baerbock expressed its concerns about Scholz 'plans: "I believe that in such uncertain times it is not a contribution to security if you promise things, where you can no longer completely know how to keep them the next day."

The background of this dispute is a murder of a police officer recently carried out in Mannheim by an Afghan citizen. Baerbock emphasized that such violent offenders had "lost their claim to protection". However, she warned against being able to solve the problem through short -term deportations to Afghanistan or Syria.

Baerbock's criticism also opposed Federal Minister of the Interior Nancy Faeser, also SPD, and reflected on her concerns: "You shouldn't suggest that you can solve the problem with endangered so that you can be put down to Afghanistan or Syria quickly."

Another important point in Baerbock's argument was the risk of having an “Islamist terrorist regime” dictated the conditions for the withdrawal of criminals. She emphasized that it was important to find realistic solutions and not make a promise that are difficult to implement.

In response to this current political conflict, the question arises as to how politics could prevent such situations in the future. A possible solution would be an improved and coordinated cooperation between the ministries as well as clear and implementable guidelines for deportations and security policy.

The Federal Government could take preventive measures, such as strengthening integration policy and improving the security situation in the refugee domestic countries in order to create long -term and sustainable solutions. A transparent and responsible procedure could help strengthen the trust of the population in politics and to ensure security in Germany.
