Legal delicate? – German asylum stop at borders furious neighbors

The exhaustion of the tightening are pregnant women, children and other family members of vulnerable groups. They must continue to be sent to initial reception facilities.

Nevertheless, there were already sharp criticism of the new measures, for example from Poland and Switzerland. “From the perspective of Switzerland, systematic rejections on the border violates the applicable legislation,” wrote the Swiss Ministry of Justice on X.

Switzerland wants to check possible measures
The Swiss authorities “check measures” if necessary. Jans Minister defeated Jans already presented a meeting at the ministerial level. Until now, he has not commented on how Switzerland wants to deal with rejected asylum seekers.

Sharp tones of Poland
Poland Prime Minister Donald Tusk had sharply criticized the migration policy of the new German government when Chancellor Friedrich Merz (CDU). “Germany will let them go to his area. Neither the impression may occur nor the facts that someone, including Germany, sends certain groups of migrants to Poland.

Austria reserved
Austria was still relatively relaxed for the time being. Minister of the Interior Gerhard Karner (ÖVP) had repeatedly announced in the past that Austria would not tolerate illegal rejections. In general, however, Austria greets Germany’s efforts in the fight against tractor Mafia and illegal migration, “said it.” We assume that German authorities will be taken to the European legal system for all measures taken. “Minister of Foreign Affairs Beate Meinl Reisinger also emphasized the sidelines of the EU Ministers of the EU on Wednesday in Warsaw that she assumed that the EU law would be paid.

Applause from France for Germany
There was applause for Germany from France. “We want to protect our limits. This is a very important goal for both of us,” said Prime Minister Emmanuel Macron during a meeting with Merz (CDU).

Brunner: Close Exchange with Government
EU migration commissioner Magnus Brunner was careful. “We will look at this,” Brunner told the Ö1 Afternoon Journal. Conversations with the German government are held almost every day.

The legal situation for rejections on the border is currently not clear. Some experts read the applicable EU legislation in such a way that rejections are generally not permitted. This is also due to the fact that border controls are practically not exactly on the border line, but often something behind it.

The German police union (DPOLG) sees clarity here. Germany has contractually regulated so -called return meetings with all residents’ states, said the deputy chairman Heiko Teggatz of the “Welt”. The content of these contracts is also when a person is considered entered. “This is only the case when the access control is completed. It does not matter on which territory the control point is.”

Greens Boss criticizes a lack of cooperation with Buren
Criticism also came from the German opposition. Green boss Franziska Brantner criticized a lack of cooperation with neighboring countries. She also complained that the officials were deducted elsewhere. “These are the most important train stations, that is the airport, which are the most important crime in this country. The lack of there. There is therefore less safety in other places for a signal on the border.” The deputy SPD parliamentary group leader Sonja Eichwede did not expect the police to reject asylum seekers on Germany on a large scale.

Söder: “Start of an asylum change”
CSU boss Markus Söder, on the other hand, described the new rules as the start of an “asylum seeker”. “The asylum seeker has been initiated in Germany since yesterday. Now the old condition applies again, as before 2015,” said Bavaria’s Prime Minister in a video divided into X.

CDU defends measures
The domestic spokesperson for the CDU/CSU parliamentary group, Alexander Throm, also defended the measures. The checks would gradually be increased, no adjacent state would be overwhelmed, he said in the Ard “morning magazin”. The voting discussions with neighboring countries are “running,” said Throm. “It is a first step in the turn of migration, an important step, but certainly not the sole that we will tackle now.”
