Germany wants to speed up the return of asylum seekers who do not have the right to do so

Backed into a corner by the alarming rise of the far right, Chancellor Olaf Scholz is determined to stop it by cracking down on refugees as well as immigrants. On October 11, the Green-Red-Liberal coalition government promised to simplify the process of deporting and repatriating asylum seekers who do not have the right to stay in Germany. “This is an issue where the state must show that it has the situation under control,” the head of government said.

The aim is to reduce the number of people coming. Under the bill, people in prison would no longer be given deportation notices. Detention periods for people awaiting deportation will be increased from the current 10 days to 28 days. Deportation of criminals, that is, people sentenced to at least one year in prison, will become faster than ever before. The new rules will also allow asylum seekers to work in the country, thus reducing the burden on German state coffers, which have been depleted by inflation and economic stagnation.

“Too many immigrants are coming right now,” Scholz said during the presentation of the package. According to the calculations of the German authorities, the number of people seeking asylum in Germany alone is expected to be over 300 thousand in 2023. An increase of 78 percent was detected in the first seven months of this year compared to the previous year. “This is more than can be easily handled,” the chancellor added. Economy Minister Robert Habeck from the Green Party also emphasized that many municipalities have “reached their limits”.

The celebrations on the streets of Berlin celebrating Hamas’ attack on Israel also warmed the hearts of Germans who are increasingly attracted to aggressive and authoritarian politicians. “It was a big mistake to bring together so many people from completely different cultures, religions and concepts, because it creates a pressure group in every country that does that,” centenarian former American diplomat Henry Kissinger said in an interview on German television. Strip.

But several studies in recent years have shown that German anti-Semitism is hidden elsewhere, among the far right and white supremacists. No matter who they are directed at, xenophobic ideas take root, especially in times when a country’s identity crisis as well as economic crisis is felt. Long gone are the days when former Christian Democrat Chancellor Angela Merkel decided to accept one million refugees from Syria, saying “We can do this” in a historic press conference. It was 2015, a geopolitical period.
