Austria rejects asylum rejections at the German border
Union and SPD want to reject asylum seekers at the national borders such as the one to Austria – in coordination with the respective neighboring state. But it stands across.
Austria gives the plans of the Union and SPD coalition sergeant to reject asylum seekers on the border. Austria will not accept such people, the Interior Ministry in Vienna announced the dpa news agency.
The heads of the Union and the SPD had previously agreed on a joint course in migration policy. In the future, people should also be rejected at the controls to be checked at the land borders who will provide an asylum application – but only in coordination with the neighboring state.
Command to Austrian police: do not accept rejections
From the point of view of Austria, people who apply for asylum, but are not informed informally at the border in accordance with applicable EU law. “The Ministry of the Interior has therefore instructed the state police departments concerned not to accept non -legal refusal to enter by the German authorities and to report on perceptions immediately,” it said.
The new Austrian coalition government from conservative ÖVP, social democratic SPÖ and liberal Neos plans to take restrictive measures in the areas of asylum and migration. For example, the family reunification is to be temporarily stopped by people who are entitled to protection. Union and SPD plan a similar step that would affect relatives of refugees with limited protection status.
The government in Vienna also reserves the right to trigger the EU emergency clause in the event of increasing asylum applications and no longer accept new applications.
