Following the asylum ruling: SPD advocates adjustment in case of rejections' handling
In the German political sphere, a vocal group within the Social Democratic Party (SPD) is pushing for a rethink of the border policy that sees migrants turned away upon arrival. "The legality of these border rejections has been cast into doubt for some time now, and it's been validated by the courts," asserted SPD member Sebastian Roloff, speaking to news portal T-Online. Under scrutiny is Federal Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt, who is expected to steer a legally sound approach, according to Roloff, a spokesperson for the SPD's federal executive committee.
His fellow SPD colleague, Lars Castellucci, cuts straight to the chase: "The Federal Ministry of the Interior has utterly failed to engage partner countries during consultations and has neglected to chart a legally secure path for rejections." Echoing Castellucci's sentiments, "Those who champion law and order must abide by it," he added. To tackle currency issues in the border area, Castellucci proposed expediting and processing Dublin procedures near the border, a practice introduced by former Interior Minister Nancy Faeser.
Macit Karaahmetoglu, an SPD member of parliament in Baden-Württemberg, urged the coalition government to delve deeper into the measures implemented. "A new federal government shouldn't appear apathetic towards existing laws or instigate further discord in Europe," he said, underscoring the importance of cooperative agreements with neighboring countries. Hitting the committee of the German Bundestag's interior, Karaahmetoglu stressed the necessity of such consensual agreements.
The country's immigration policy takes center stage, with the SPD caught in the crossfire of balancing its stance on refugee rights and the tougher stance advocated by the electorate. Caught in this complex web of political and social intricacies, the SPD faces the uphill task of navigating this debate on border policies effectively.
