Markus Söder: " Germany is implementing an asylum policy reversal"
Germany initiated changes in asylum policies, according to Söder - Recommendation for a radiation protection plan for workers' safety presented to the Commission.
Hey there! Check this out — CSU leader Markus Söder has declared that the new border regulations for asylum seekers in Germany marks the commencement of a significant change in asylum policies. According to Bavaria's head honcho, "Yesterday, we initiated the asylum policy reversal in Germany. Things are back to how they were pre-2015" 1.
His fellow party member, the newly appointed Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt, announced that tightened border controls will go into effect. This includes turning away asylum seekers who have already applied in other EU countries, except for vulnerable groups such as pregnant women, children, and others needing special considerations 1. The Federal Police spokesperson confirmed that these operations are being carried out effectively in Bavaria 1.
This asylum policy shift has garnered criticism from neighboring countries, with Switzerland and Poland voicing concerns. Switzerland cautions that systematic border returns may be against the law, while Poland warns against the potential of transferring migrants across borders 4. However, this bold move is widely supported by conservatives as part of a broader immigration policy transformation under the new government, aimed at decreasing asylum applications 1.
To further secure the borders, additional police officers are being deployed to various border crossings across provinces such as Saxony, Lower Saxony, and North Rhine-Westphalia. Expect to see inspections initiated soon in the neighboring states of Rhineland-Palatinate and Saarland 4.
