Approval of the anti-immigration plan of the German government in the parliament

According to the report of the international group Tasnim news agency, quoted by the German publication “De Sight”, the parliament Germany has announced the Republic of Moldova and Georgia as safe countries of origin for refugees. An overwhelming majority of parliamentarians voted in favor of the relevant bill from the federal government. Only the left voted against it in the parliament. If the Federal Council follows the decision of the Parliament, this plan can be implemented.

The aim of this measure is to limit the growing number of asylum seekers. By registering a country as a safe country of origin, the asylum application of people of this nationality is processed faster and therefore early deportation is possible. According to him, the other is to limit immigration.

He added: By designating these countries as safe countries of origin, we can significantly speed up the asylum process and reduce the burden on municipalities and courts. Germany wants to achieve this result. The migration agreement with Georgia and Moldova is to ensure eligibility to enable worker migration and thereby create an incentive to ensure that Georgian and Moldovan citizens do not submit desperate asylum applications in Germany in the future.

According to this information, last year 8865 Georgians and 5218 people from Moldova applied for asylum in Germany. More than 10% of rejected asylum applications are from these two countries alone. The criterion for a safe country of origin is that there is no fear of political persecution there.

Clara Banger, spokesperson for the Left Party’s refugee policy, described this classification as irresponsible, as the safety of some minorities in These two countries are not guaranteed. Filiz Polat, a representative of the Greens, said that his group also has doubts about the security of Gypsies in Moldova and some nationals in Georgia. However, because of the visa exemption, people in need of support can still enter Germany. In addition, both countries are in the process of joining the European Union and must meet high constitutional standards to achieve this.
