Migration: Dobrindt introduces plans – Greens against new border controls

The new Federal Minister of the Interior Alexander Dobrindt is presenting his program for the next four years in the Bundestag. The CSU politician has already made headlines with his first arrangement. A few hours after taking office, Dobrindt had an intensification of border controls last week. At the same time, he ordered that asylum seekers can also be rejected at the border.

Four ministers present plans

After a presumably heated debate about future domestic politics, Minister of Justice Stefanie Hubig (SPD), Minister of Economics Katherina Reiche (CDU) and Federal Digital Minister Karsten Wildberger (CDU) present their plans for the black and red reign. While Reiche and Wildberger moved from board positions in companies to the cabinet, Hubig already has government experience – she was most recently Minister of Education in Rhineland -Palatinate.

Above all, Dobrindt opposes the Greens and the left faction because of his instructions to the federal police. The Green Group also believes that the Federal Government will quickly answer questions about the border controls in the interior committee.

Green chairman: ratio to neighbors damaged

“The Federal Government must finally explain to the parliament how the flat-rate rejections at the German internal borders behave on European law,” demands Lukas Benner, who will in future be represented in the interior committee as an chairman. The “European law ghost trip” of the new Interior Minister has already done chaos, a ratio of the neighboring countries and the economy.

The constituent meeting of the interior committee is planned for next Wednesday. The Greens penetrate that at the first session there are also questions of content on the agenda and not just Formalia. Specifically, you call for a report on the legal foundations and effects of intensified border controls and rejections. “The interior committee cannot accept any further delay here,” says Benner.

Austria: German border controls “absolutely right”

The Austrian Minister of Economic Affairs Wolfgang Hattmannsdorfer, on the other hand, praises the increased controls at the German borders. “I am happy and grateful that there is also a paradigm shift in migration policy in Germany. I think that is absolutely right,” said the politician of the conservative ÖVP in the podcast of Table.briefings. “We don’t need social tourism. We have to be able to choose who comes to us.” In the end it is about securing European external borders.
