Dobrindt Justifies Rejection of Brussels

The legal basis for the intensified approach at the German borders is controversial. The Federal Minister of the Interior defends himself and wants to explain the position of the Federal Government in detail to the EU Commission.

Alexander Dobrindt is celebrating himself for his new border regime. However, the current figures reveal all the embarrassment: for 32 asylum seekers, no one should put an end to European law.

According to the German police union (GDP), the intensified controls and rejections of asylum seekers on the German border are not long to endure. However, according to the Federal Ministry of the Interior, it is not to be expected that they will be returned soon.

Katharina Thote, representative of the UNHCR, expresses concerns about the rejection of asylum seekers at German borders. She warns against the signaling effect and possible chain rejections. Thote emphasizes the need to safeguard the individual right to asylum.

For a week and a half, stricter controls and rejections of asylum seekers have been in place. However, it turns out that the effects are controversial.
