Returns: A total of only six lawsuits from asylum seekers

Asylum seekers have been rejected at German borders for two months. Federal Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt (CDU) also attributes the drastically sunken entry.

In response, however, Poland is also introducing border controls to Germany from this Monday. A setback for Dobrindt.

After all, the flood of plaintiffs that some have feared in the federal government, but it is apparently failing to materialize. So far, six asylum seekers have only sued their rejection. This goes from a response from the Federal Ministry of the Interior to a request from the star out.

In addition to the three Somalians, who had successfully used Proasyl against their rejection, only “three further procedures in connection with the rejection of asylum seekers” are known to the Ministry, a spokesman for the ministry said. There are no decisions in the three other procedures.

The domestic spokesman for the Union faction in the Bundestag, Alexander Throm, told him star In addition: “In our rule of law, it goes without saying that courts can be called.” This was to be expected. “However, it is a fundamental question of European law, which can only be clarified by the European Court of Justice,” said Throm.

The Greens see it differently. Vice parliamentary group leader Konstantin von Notz told that star: “Alexander Dobrindt always suggested that the legality of the measures would not be in question.” According to the decisions of the Berlin Administrative Court, this is absurd. “The court also pointed out that his house had missed the measures to justify the measures sufficiently.”

In fact, after the decision, the Federal Minister of the Interior had declared that he would be given a reason. Federal Minister of Justice Stefanie Hubig (SPD) had also demanded that from him; The President of the Federal Administrative Court had also criticized the adherence to the rejections. The BMI only writes that the instructions to the federal police of May 7 have “continued to exist.”

Instead, Dobrindt only wants to present improvements in the further legal process. A spokesman for the ministry writes that the “insufficient reason for the use of Article 72 of the Treaty on the working method of the European Union will teach us in the main proceedings”. Behind this article is the right of states to regulate the maintenance of security and order in your own responsibility. According to the legal opinion in the ministry, the rejections can also be justified.

The Greens of Notz is angry: “We have repeatedly addressed comprehensive questionnaires to the federal government,” he criticizes. “To date, the leading house cannot answer significant questions.” The SPD Minister of Justice had only found clear words, but now entrenched herself behind the BMI. “With emphasis, we ask Interior Minister Dobrindt again to refrain from the rejection and to deliver the promised, long overdue reasons for the measures.”

However, hope in the BMI should be different: Before a final legal result occurs, one would like to have changed European law with the new conservative majorities in Europe. CDU interior politician Throm: “Almost all other European countries disregard the European law of the Dublin Ordinance, especially at the expense of Germany.” The Federal Government could therefore not do without rejections. “Our goal must be to create European law in such a way that everyone sticks to it.” Therefore, you now have to change European law.

This is one of the reasons why the Federal Minister of the Interior Dobrind symbolizes a few EU colleagues in mid-July to a migration summit on the Zugspitze. The meeting in two weeks will be about the “reorganization of European migration policy”, the ministry said.

The appointment shows how hurriedly it has. The significantly falling asylum figures are currently playing in the cards to the minister. Most recently, the “Welt am Sonntag” reported that only 65,495 asylum applications were made in the first half of the year – a decline of 43 percent compared to the same period last year. However, the border controls with more than 3000 additional officials cannot be maintained forever.

Internally, the coalition partner SPD is already pressing for an end to the restart of the Bundesliga season at the end of August. Then the federal police officers would be used again for the protection of train stations and train journeys with hooligans. This position is not shared in the Ministry of the Interior.

The interior minister wants to maintain controls at least until the end of the year. Officially, it says: “The instruction of the Federal Minister of the Interior is currently not limited.”
