The dispute over border dismissals: Union and FDP under pressure on the traffic lights
in Berlin is currently being discussed intensively on rejection of migrants at the German borders. The Union and the FDP require the government to make a quick decision on these controversial claims, while the SPD is encountering resistance. CDU boss Friedrich Merz in particular has set up clear deadlines and expects a binding explanation on the topic by next Tuesday. Political tensions and disagreements make the situation even more complex.
The demand for rejections is loudly supported by many in the Union and some FDP politicians. FDP party deputy Wolfgang Kubicki criticized the Greens and emphasized that their view that rejections were legally not legally possible was wrong. "The Greens are not allowed to block here," added FDP General Secretary Bijan Djir-Sarai and made it clear that blocking the Greens endanger the security of the country.
tensions within the coalition
The internal coalition dynamics between the SPD, FDP and the Greens are clearly shown in the statements of the political actors. Kevin Kühnert, the Secretary General of the SPD, expressed that Merz ’ultimatum should not give the impression that the upcoming elections in Brandenburg disproportionately increase the political pressure. He made it clear that the conversations about migration and internal security are held absolutely seriously, independent of short -term election strategies.
In addition, Daniela Behrens, the SPD Minister of the Interior of Lower Saxony, has opened to the idea of rejecting migrants at the borders, provided that this is legally permissible. Behrens focuses on the legal exams and sees these measures an important signal to the EU partners. This duality within the SPD shows that there are differences of opinion about the direction in which the negotiations and political decisions should actually go.
On the other hand, the Greens, represented by Irene Mihalic, assessed the rejections at the border as problematic. This view is supported by lawyers such as Constantin Hruschka, who notes that asylum applications must be treated in certain procedures and that direct rejections are not permitted. The Dublin Ordinance makes it clear that asylum seekers may only be transferred to the responsible country, which becomes problematic in the event of rejections at the internal limits.
movements in the Bundestag
In the middle of these political controversy, SPD parliamentary group leader Rolf Mützenich has confirmed his ambitions to design a legally secure overall package for migration with the Union. In his declaration, he referred to the upcoming Bundestag discourse on the security package decided by the traffic light coalition, which was initiated by the knife attack in Solingen. Measures such as the tightening of weapons right and an expansion of the skills of the security authorities are on the agenda, while at the same time the migration policy is reconsidered.The approach to rejections and the associated legal challenges are therefore the focus of political disputes, whereby security and humanitarian obligations must be carefully weighed up. The upcoming discussions in the Bundestag will show the direction that will take migration policy in Germany. While the debate is gaining sharpness in view of the upcoming elections, the hope of a common denominator between the battered parties is great.
