The issue of deportation of refugees causes further division in the conservative party of Rishi Sunak.
After the decision of the British Supreme Court rejecting the government's plan to deport refugees to Rwanda and Sunak's insistence on advancing this plan despite the court's decision, the divisions in the British Conservative Party have deepened and the problems for the Prime Minister have increased. |
according to the report of the international group Tasnim news agency, Tagus newspaper Ansiger wrote in an article: A deeper split is going on among the English conservative faction in Westminster. On Friday, a former British deputy prime minister accused his right-wing colleagues of wanting to create “dictatorship” conditions and behaving “like Putin and Xi” in disregarding democratic principles and the rule of law.
Damian Green, who leads the centrist One Nation group in the House of Commons, accused the far-right in the party of wanting to give the government the power to override any law. take He emphasized: This is exactly what Putin and Xi are doing, Green strongly warned: We absolutely cannot accept this situation.
Green’s sharp attack against colleagues The faction came from the “New Conservatives” group, who do not want to accept that the British Supreme Court on Wednesday of this week prohibited the government from deporting refugees to Rwanda.
He emphasized : The right-wing conservatives do not care about human rights and refugees or international treaties and laws.
In order to implement these expulsions, the former interior minister Suela Braverman asked other members of parliament. were to vote for legislation that would allow London to simply ignore the European Convention on Human Rights, the UN Refugee Convention and other treaties.
Braverman, who called himself The right-wing Conservative spokeswoman has called on colleagues to forego their three-week Christmas break to rush such legislation through parliament to allow deportation flights to Rwanda as soon as the new year. He has called for all asylum seekers who come to the UK “illegally” to be immediately arrested and deported to Rwanda within days, never to be seen again.
Lee Anderson, The conservative deputy secretary general of this faction has already openly asked the government to ignore not only all foreign courts, but also the laws applicable in Britain itself.
Of course. British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak does not want to go this far. Sonak said there is no question of breaking the law, but he is “willing to do whatever it takes to get the deportation flights to Rwanda as quickly as possible. A bill is already scheduled for next week.”
Sonak also commented on whether the UK House of Lords – where no party has a majority – could block the legislation. England said that the Labor opposition should support the legislation in both houses, then there would be no problem.
Rishi Sunak’s party is currently around 21 in the polls. It has the percentage of citizens’ votes and is far behind the opposition Labor Party with 44 percent.
The Labor Party has said that it will not support the new law.” Labor leader Keir Starmer explained that the whole affair was just another scheme by Sunak to waste taxpayers’ time and money.
Instead, to solve Britain’s immigration woes, Starmer wants to focus on “breaking down the criminal gangs” who bring asylum seekers across the English Channel. He wants to work more closely with his European neighbors and find “safe” routes for asylum seekers to the UK. In addition, According to him, the high number of unaccepted applications, which currently includes 175,000 asylum cases, should be reduced. The Supreme Court of England has announced that it has not failed to deport refugees to Rwanda and will conclude a new agreement with this country with an emergency law to implement this policy.
First The British minister announced in parliament that he would review the UK’s international obligations and domestic law in light of the decision, which could also affect Britain’s membership of the European Convention on Human Rights, according to commentators. Sonak stressed that he is absolutely adamant that the boats (carrying migrants) must be stopped. It is an important – and highly controversial – part of the former UK Home Secretary’s tougher asylum policy. The first deportation flight was halted at the last minute by the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg more than a year ago, angering the British government. This plan was met with strong criticism at home and abroad.
The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) called this planned action a violation of international law. condemned The bishops of England spoke of “disgrace to England”. However, this measure was welcomed in some EU countries, including Austria.
