Unlawful Refusal of Asylum Seekers in Switzerland Illicit - Illegal Refusal of Asylum Seekers' Applications Prohibited in Switzerland
Switzerland ain't playin' no games with Germany's stricter border policies for migrants. New Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt (CSU) announced on Wednesday that the feds will now be able to deny asylum seekers at the border, with exceptions for vulnerable groups like pregnant ladies or families with kiddos.
The Swiss Ministry of Justice got some big words for that, indirectly calling it a bunch of bullshit on the X platform. They said, "Systematic rejections at the border goes against the law, from our perspective." And if ya think they're bluffin'? They might just take some measures, homie.
Justice Minister Beat Jans is proposin' a ministerial powwow. He's quiet on how Switzerland plans to handle rejected asylum seekers, though.
In the coalition agreement between Union and SPD, they've got consultations with neighboring countries for all their measures.
Germany beefed up border controls with Switzerland, among other places, back in 2023. Last year, controllers rejected around 10,000 individuals, as per a broadcaster SRF report. Switzerland is worryin' stricter controls will make life a living nightmare for the daily commuters who work in Switzerland and head back to Germany every day.
Even in Poland, the idea of Germany expandin' border controls and rejectin' asylum seekers is gettin' resistance from Prime Minister Donald Tusk. "Germany lets in whoever they want. Poland only accepts those we want," Tusk said at a press conference with new Chancellor Friedrich Merz.
