Germany Increases State Exports

Nearly four years after opening the door to the influx of refugees that reached 1 million people, Germany quietly is again closing the possibility of asylum applications and increasing deportations.

The trend continues even though the number of people arriving in Europe has dropped by 80% since the peak crisis in 2015. German Interior Minister Horst Seehofer recently stated that last year, Germany registered about 185,000 asylum requests, or 17% less than the previous year and much less than 4 years ago, when that figure reached 880,000. Now we have the problem under control and we put things in line. We are offering protection to those who are most vulnerable; however, asylum rights will be accepted only if we can restore those whose protection is not necessary, he said, transmits tch.

Since 2015, when Angela Merkel welcomed the refugees with the famous expression: “We can make it”, things have changed. There's been a twist in the German waiting attitude with hands open. The anti-immigration party, AfD, has significantly advanced in the polls. Some shocking crimes that immigrants had for authors have greatly influenced public opinion, and these reactions have prompted German centrist parties to show more severe in dealing with immigration. Last week, the German Parliament's Lower Chamber voted that Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, and Georgia enter the list of safe countries of origin, which is very difficult for asylum seekers from these countries to secure refugee status. /Kosovo pres/
