Border controls: Scholz urges migrant rejections in Germany!

In Berlin, asylum policy provides controversy! In view of the increasing number of unauthorized entry, Chancellor Olaf Scholz (SPD) announced massive border controls to reduce illegal migration and limit the asylum procedure in Germany. According to Scholz, there were 47,000 rejections at the borders last year, which led to a decline in asylum applications by a third between 2023 and 2024. However, this data was violated by opposition parties in the Bundestag and criticized as misleading, while the political landscape moved to the upcoming elections on February 23, as The Bundestag

The group DIE LINKE has made a small request (20/14387) on the developments in asylum policy, which according to ORF Salzburg a significant increase in the rejection. In the first half of 2024, over 51.2 percent of the unauthorized persons were rejected, compared to 27.9 percent in 2023. These data raise questions about the legality of the rejections, since they can only be carried out under certain conditions. The MPs now require information about how many unauthorized entry in the second half of 2024, as well as information on the registered asylum seekers and rejections.
