Border Control Refusal Doubted by Justice Minister
New and Improved Article:
Minister of Justice Stefanie Hubig (SPD) waters down the dismissal of asylum-seekers at Germany's borders following the Berlin Administrative Court ruling. In an informal chat with Redaktionsnetzwerk Deutschland (Wednesday editions), Hubig admitted, "The Berlin Administrative Court hasn't definitively settled whether the dismissal of asylum-seekers at the borders is on par with European law."
She went on to say, "It won't be a walk in the park to persuade the judiciary that these dismissals are legal. The last say belongs to the European Court of Justice." In a constitutional republic such as Germany, Hubig emphasized that the government "must embrace court rulings." Thus, it's evident—the interim decisions by the Berlin Administrative Court must be obeyed.
Hubig remained dogged, stressing that all tactics to thwart unlawful immigration must align with European law and constitutional law. "Effective outcomes can be secured primarily by safeguarding the EU's outer borders more efficiently," she stated. "Pending arrangements for this purpose have been reached in the revamped Common European Asylum System. Our mission as a government is to expeditiously carry out GEAS."
