US EditionGermany Hopes for EU Deal on Sending Failed Asylum Seekers to Third Countries, Minister Says
- Germany's Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt said on May 31, 2025, he hopes the EU can agree on sending failed asylum seekers to safe third countries near their homelands.
- This initiative follows Chancellor Friedrich Merz's conservative bloc winning February's election and pledging immigration reductions amid voters viewing levels as out of control.
- The European Commission put forward a proposal that would enable countries within the EU to deny asylum requests from migrants who entered through designated safe third countries, but the plan still requires approval and has drawn criticism.
- Dobrindt emphasized that this approach cannot be developed by any single EU country independently; instead, it requires coordination at the European Union level. He also mentioned that preparations for establishing this framework are currently underway.
- If implemented, the plan could reshape EU migration policy, but similar third-country schemes have stalled elsewhere and require broad consensus to succeed.
