Refusal of the SPD to expel individuals to Syria persists

The Redaktionsnetzwerk Deutschland recently conducted an interview focusing on the current situation in Syria and the stance of the Social Democratic Party (SPD) on deportations to the country. Adis Ahmetovic, the SPD parliamentary group's spokesperson on foreign affairs, highlighted several key points during the discussion.

Ahmetovic began by stating that the federal government is closely monitoring the situation in Syria. He went on to emphasize that the conditions for deportations to Syria, as agreed upon in the coalition agreement, would be upheld. However, no specific conditions for deportations were mentioned in the interview.

The new president of Syria, mentioned by Ahmetovic, is Ahmed al-Scharaa, who took office after the rebels led by Hai'at Tahrir al-Sham overthrew Bashar al-Assad in December 2024. Ahmetovic called for an inclusive political process in Syria, urging the new government to protect all people in the country, regardless of origin or religion, from violence.

Ahmetovic stressed the need for Syria to achieve stability for its citizens, for the region, and for peace. He also emphasized the importance of tightening the rules for deporting serious criminals to Syria as soon as the situation permits. The SPD, according to Ahmetovic, is maintaining a cautious stance on deportations to Syria due to the ongoing instability in the country.

In conclusion, the interview provided valuable insight into the SPD's stance on Syria and deportations, with Ahmetovic emphasizing the need for stability, protection of all Syrian citizens, an inclusive political process, and adherence to the agreed-upon conditions for deportations.
