Germany’s newly formed coalition government, has unveiled its policy plans for the next four years. The finalized coalition agreement outlines a series of measures aimed at tightening immigration controls and making it more challenging for individuals to secure asylum and German citizenship.
Tighter Border Controls
One of the key aspects of the new policy is the continuation and planned expansion of tighter border controls. This measure will effectively deny entry to individuals seeking international protection upon arrival in Germany from another European Union or Schengen country. The rationale behind this decision is Germany’s geographic position within the EU, which means that asylum seekers are legally required to lodge their claims in the first EU member state they reach. Given Germany’s location, it cannot be the first point of entry for these individuals.
Repatriation Offensive
The Christian Democratic Union leader and chancellor-in-waiting Friedrich Merz has announced a “repatriation offensive” aimed at expediting the deportation of rejected asylum seekers. This initiative includes plans to increase the capacity of detention facilities to hold individuals who are required to leave and are considered likely to abscond or pose a danger to society. Additionally, federal police will be granted the authority to apply for the temporary custody or detention of individuals obligated to leave the country to facilitate their deportation.
