The Green parliamentary group has expressed strong concerns about the significant increase in border rejections in Germany, with over 30,000 people turned away since October. The federal government is considering denying entry to refugees under specific conditions.
The number of border rejections has risen even further, with over 42,000 rejections in the first half of 2024, a significant increase compared to the previous year. Left Party politician Clara Bünger criticizes the lack of documentation of asylum applications.
Stationary border controls have been in place since 2023 at the land borders with Czech Republic, Poland, and Switzerland, and since 2015 at the border with Austria. The Union demands additional rejections of individuals who have already found asylum in another EU country.
Furthermore, there are discussions about a German official proposing the use of UK-funded Rwanda facilities to process EU asylum seekers, targeting 10,000 migrants annually. The proposal has faced opposition, and the UK's similar plan was scrapped after a court ruling.
The article also touches on the debate surrounding asylum policy in Germany, including demands for on-the-spot rejections and patrols at the borders, which the Green politician Irene Mihalic criticizes as unconstitutional.
