The idea is not new: to consider asylum rights prior to the arrival of asylum seekers in the European Union territory and thus determine whether they have a right to political asylum or not. Depending on the outcome of the search, candidates will be allowed on EU territory, and those who do not have the right will return to their countries of origin. This has been discussed for a long time in Denmark, now the procedure is also being prepared by Great Britain.
Review of asylum rights before EU accession
Given the drastic increase in the number of asylum seekers in Germany (almost 90,000 in the first three months of this year) and the crisis situation in cities that no longer have access to migrants and lack funds, the idea of conducting a procedure to verify asylum rights prior to EU entry has also emerged in Germany. Thus, most of those who do not have prospects for political asylum in Germany (Citizens of Pakistan, Tunisia, Algeria, and so on) would be divided even before they arrived on the land of the European Union.
Germany's Big Problems
Germany, as the daily “Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung” writes, is working to enable this process. “We are currently considering the possibility of controlling asylum seekers' status even in third countries”, says Interior Minister Nancy Fyser (Socratic Party) SPD.
She said that there are currently “intense <negotia” for linking interstate agreements that would allow this kind of procedure. Asked whether he believes the large increase in the number of asylum seekers “exceeds Germany's” capabilities, Faeser avoided a response and noted the federal government's crisis summit and representatives of provinces and federal cities 10 May.
AfD popularity growth
Because of the enormous increase in refugee numbers not only from Ukraine but also from Syria, Afghanistan, Turkey and African countries, the German federal government has been under increased pressure since the beginning of the year. Opposition representatives Christian Democrats urge Minister Fyser and the federal government to set the upper limits of the number of refugees, which she repeatedly rejected.
Citizens throughout Germany are on the streets again, as in the 2015 crisis, and protest the construction of new refugee waiting environments. Saturday night he burned a camp for refugees in the land of Hessen.
Saxony Land Prime Minister Michael Kretschmer (CDU) said that if something does not change in refugee policy, there will be a “political overlap”, alluding to increased popularity of the right-wing populist AfD Alternative, especially in the eastern parts of Germany.
