Germany's Migration Stance Fuels EU Debates

Germany is currently at the center of a heated debate on migration policies within the European Union. The country plans to return asylum seekers to the first-line EU countries as per the Dublin III Regulation.

This move has met with criticism, particularly from Greece, which is pushing the issue to the EU summit. Greek officials argue that first-entry countries should not bear the majority of the burden, with Prime Minister Mitsotakis defending the Evros border and former minister Mitarakis accusing Germany of hypocrisy.

Despite Germany's request for Greece to take back 5,523 refugees, only three have returned, highlighting the complexities of the situation. The rise in asylum applications in Germany, with 16,500 applications following their initial entry into Greece, further complicates matters.

Germany's far-right AfD and CDU opposition are also pressuring the coalition government, adding to the internal political tension. Meanwhile, Germany's decision to enhance border controls has been criticized by fellow EU countries like Poland and Austria, sparking concerns about EU cohesion.

The European Commission has warned that such unilateral actions should be reserved for exceptional cases only. Additionally, Germany remains skeptical of new EU-level migration measures, although it shows some interest in an EU-wide 'Albania model' for asylum processing outside the EU.

The number of refugees in Germany has reached a record high, with 3.5 million people seeking refuge, a third of whom are from Ukraine. This influx has led to a complex mix of political, social, and economic challenges, prompting calls for reforms and stricter controls.

As debates continue, the future of the EU's migration pact and the unity of its member states hang in the balance.

Lindner (FDP) and politicians from the SPD, Union, and FDP demand a swift implementation of the EU asylum reform in Germany, such as expedited asylum procedures at airports. The reform regulates the distribution of asylum seekers among the EU states with a "solidarity mechanism" and also provides for fast asylum procedures at the external borders for people from relatively safe countries of origin.
