Germany is strengthening the personnel and equipment of the Immigration and Asylum Office to speed up the asylum process

According to the report of the international group Tasnim news agency quoting According to decisions made by the German federal government, the Federal Office for Migration and Refugees (Bamf), which is responsible for asylum procedures, will receive significantly more personnel and equipment, according to the Tagus Spiegel newspaper. “We are strengthening the Federal Office for Migration and Refugees with 1,160 additional employees,” German Federal Interior Minister Nancy Pfizer told Die Welt. In response to the German news agency’s question about this, the spokesperson of the ministry confirmed that these positions are full-time and should be filled “as soon as possible”. According to its own information, the Bamf agency currently has about 8,000 jobs.

“Pfizer” also said that the German federal government has a lot to do to speed up and digitize the process. Asylum does. He added: “We are now spending an additional 300 million euros on this issue.” Third countries said that this work continues. In this regard, he said: “We are investigating this matter and we are currently listening to the talks of scientists about it.” There are experts who believe that such regulations are possible, others say that the legal situation should be changed. He said: The standard is human rights, because they are protected in European laws and the German constitution.

When he was asked where he could imagine such procedures Kord Pfizer said: For example, in countries that are on the way to Western Europe and comply with constitutional standards. He emphasized: What is very important is that the injured people are safe during the procedures and from there during their return to their country if they do not need protection.

In order to deal with the influx of refugees, the German federal government has put strict approaches on the agenda.

The German parliament recently passed a law for deportation. Rejected asylum seekers are approved faster. In this way, after a long struggle in the German government coalition, the parliament also approved this law. 10 days will be increased to 28 days so that the authorities have more time to deal with deportation procedures. It has been approved that according to official statistics, Germany deported more than 16,000 refugees who were forced to leave the country in 2023, which was 27% more than in 2022.

German Chancellor Olaf Schultz also called for the deportation of rejected asylum seekers “on a large scale” in the fall. The reason for this request was the sharp increase in the number of refugees and excessive pressure on municipalities in accepting and caring for refugees.
