Undermining Legal Norms through Dobrindt's Strategies
In a developing situation, the German federal government is facing questions about its adherence to the Rule of Law, as it has been slow to issue visas to approximately 2,300 endangered Afghans in Islamabad.
Months after a pause in interviews, these proceedings have resumed at the embassy in Islamabad. Afghan men and women who have already completed the security interview are being invited again for a conversation with representatives of the Federal Office for Migration and Refugees (BAMF). However, this process has led to further delays, as another BAMF interview is required in each case.
The Interior Ministry is now revoking admission promises for those who have won lawsuits, leaving them without federal government-provided accommodation in Islamabad and vulnerable to Pakistani police and potential deportations to Afghanistan. This practice, perceived as a perversion of the rule of law, has led to several legal actions in Berlin courts against the federal government for visa issuance.
In an attempt to clarify the situation, Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt (CSU) has stated that all promises are being checked. Chancellor's Office chief Thorsten Frei (CDU) has further stated that every admission promise is being checked with the aim of withdrawing it.
The federal government, however, remains committed to upholding the rule of law and democratic principles in all actions, including visa allocation. This commitment extends to ensuring legal protections and procedural fairness in line with constitutional requirements. In several cases, the federal government has lost these lawsuits, and some families have been allowed to enter Germany.
The situation has not gone unnoticed, with the Pakistani police continuing to conduct brutal raids in guesthouses where these Afghans are staying. This adds to the uncertainty and danger faced by these individuals.
It is worth noting that humanity is not a factor in this approach. This situation has also been a topic of discussion on the independent, left-wing, and opinionated daily newspaper, "debate", which often presents opposing opinions within a broad left-wing spectrum in its comments, essays, and debate texts.
In a surprising turn of events, Dobrindt has expressed a willingness to talk to the Taliban about regular deportations, raising further concerns about the treatment of these endangered Afghans.
As the situation continues to evolve, it is crucial that the rule of law and humanitarian considerations are upheld in the treatment of these vulnerable individuals.
