Switzerland Bucks Tougher Rules for Migrants at German Borders: Asylum Rejections Deemed Unlawful
Unlawful Refusal of Asylum Seekers in Switzerland Prohibited - Unlawful Refusal of Asylum Applicants in Switzerland
Switzerland isn't here for Germany's harsh border policies. The new Interior Minister, Alexander Dobrindt (CSU), just days into his role, declared that federal authorities could reject asylum seekers entering the border - except for some vulnerable categories like expecting mothers or families with kiddos.
Swiss Justice Ministry threw some major shade on the X platform, stating emphatically that border-wide rejections cramp their legal style. They're weighing their options like a boss.
Justice Minister Beat Jans is itching for a top-level powwow. He hasn't dropped any hints on Switzerland's strategy for dealing with those denied asylum.
In the union of the CSU and the SPD, neighboring countries get consulted for measures that affect them, big time.
Last year, a whopping 10,000 people were axed at the Swiss-German border by controllers, as per a SRF report. The Swiss are worried that beefed-up controls could make commuting life a living nightmare for the daily grinders who jet to work in Switzerland from next door.
Poland gave a big thumbs down to Germany's plans to ramp up border controls and turn away asylum seekers. "Germany lets in whoever the hell they want," snarled Tusk at a joint presser with new Chancellor Friedrich Merz. "Poland will only accept the ones we bloody enjoy."
