"Setting the Record Straight" on Migration Policy: Dobrindt Entrusts European Court of Justice with Decisions
Dobrindt seeks legal recourse at the European Court of Justice over migration matters
In his first month in office, Interior Minister Dobrindt reviews the progress of his migration reshuffle, marking a 50% decrease in asylum applications. His message is resonating across Europe and the globe. When it comes to handling border management disputes, Dobrindt views the European Court of Justice as the driving force.
"I firmly believe our measures fall within the bounds of European law," Dobrindt shares with Funke Media Group. "If we're to successfully carry out the migration turnaround, it's imperative not to let political forces like the AfD push for extremist solutions."
Political Stance after Court Ruling: The Berlin Administrative Court recently handed down a preliminary decision. In response, Dobrindt remains unwavering. "We'll continue pursuing our course and reinforced border controls," he explains. "Although the court deemed our reasoning insufficient for Article 72 application - an EU exception - we'll supply a more robust justification and let the European Court of Justice make the final call."
Explaining the situation, Dobrindt states, "Overwhelming our cities, communities, districts, schools, healthcare systems, and housing market, we're at a societal breaking point. This warrants strict border measures to protect public order." Dobrindt considers applying Article 72 lawful.
Fiercely criticizing threats against Berlin administrative judges, Dobrindt asserts, "Criticism of court decisions is inevitable in a democratic system. But threatening judges for their rulings is inexcusable."

The community and employment policies of Alexander Dobrindt, as Interior Minister, aim to support the successful execution of his migration turnaround strategy, following a 50% decrease in asylum applications. Dobrindt's pursuance of a robust border control policy is influenced by the European Court of Justice's role in resolving border management disputes, despite a recent court ruling deeming the reasoning insufficient for an Article 72 application.
The migration policy debates extend into the realm of politics, with Dobrindt appealing for a balanced approach that avoids extremist solutions, as reflected in his stance against the AfD. Notably, Dobrindt is also currently engaging with the European Court of Justice to reinforce border controls, arguing that such measures are crucial for maintaining public order in the face of the strains created by migration and its impacts on various facets of society, such as cities, districts, schools, healthcare systems, and the housing market.
