Ministry of the Interior Plans savings and security offensive 2025

Frankfurter Hauptbahnhof, Frankfurt am Main, Deutschland - The Interior Ministry of Austria plans to save comprehensive savings in the budget for the years 2025 and 2026. As reported [vienna.at,] (https://www.vienna.at/budget-so--wiel-plant- der Interior Ministry-2026- Einzoren/9405260), a total of 90 million euros are to be saved in the first Year of planning. These recent developments take place in a context in which public security is becoming increasingly important.

With the reduced budget, an increased focus is on security investments, in particular on visible police presence and measures to prevent terrorism. The savings potential in the asylum and migration area is estimated at almost 100 million euros. While the number of asylum seekers in the Federal Care Office in Traiskirchen has dropped from 2,000 to 360, Germany also has a decline in asylum applications from Syria by 80 to 90 percent-an effect of the fall of the Assad regime.

public security in focus

Incidents such as the tragic event at Frankfurt Central Station, in which a man came across a woman and her 8-year-old son to the railway tracks, causing the boy to be killed by an ICE, have again fueled the debate about internal security. FDP boss Christian Lindner calls for an increased police presence in public spaces. This claim is supported by the FDP general secretary Linda Teuteberg, who emphasizes the need for a quick ability to act.

However, the domestic political actors warn of excessive security promises. FDP interior expert Konstantin Kuhle emphasized that objective security should remain the level of security policy while the physical presence of the police is to be increased. Another step towards improving the security situation is the strengthening of the protection of the constitution and the personnel and financial increasing of its budgets.

administration and asylum procedure

The budget for foreign beings will be reduced from 788 million euros in 2024 to 693 million euros in 2025, with a forecast of 621 million euros for 2026. In addition, Interior Minister Karner will take measures to reduce the number of employees in the administration, only in the future.

A central aspect of security architecture in Germany is the Federal Office for Migration and Refugees (BAMF). BAMF states, that an early identification of refugees or foreigners that are a danger to public security is essential. The office cooperates closely with security and law enforcement authorities and contributes to the deradicalization work to minimize extremist threats.

In recent years, the BAMF has established various interdisciplinary working structures to act more effectively in combating extremism and illegal migration. This cooperation is crucial for a functioning migration system and public security. The aspect of information networking between the responsible authorities is therefore of central importance in the security architecture.

Overall, it turns out that the savings in the Ministry of the Interior and the demands for more security are closely linked, while the challenges in the field of asylum and migration are still in focus.
