Federal Government justifies admission of Afghans according to Union criticism

This Wednesday, the next aircraft arrives with Afghans who were picked up in Pakistan. The new federal government wants to end these flights, but could be bound by promises from its predecessors.

We still have to pick up 2600 Afghans, says Baerbock, the Union criticizes this.

Union and SPD want to stop recording programs in the future. CDU and CSU are therefore critical of the managing government, which apparently plans further recordings from Afghanistan. However, the ministries point to liabilities.[more]]>

The traffic light coalition wants to provide protection for people whose lives are threatened by the Taliban's takeover of power in Germany. Some are flown out, others are to follow. This makes the Union foam. The current federal government defends the move.

According to its own statements, the Federal Government is legally obliged to let people with a pledge of protection fly out. The Union speaks of "missing decency".

Reports on charter flights for Afghan local forces undermine the fact that it is about protection commitments that Germany has had to fulfil since the Taliban takeover. That fits in with the picture, says Matthias Monroy.
