Visa affair led by Baerbock: Prosecutor's office investigated against civil servants!

In the heart of Berlin it is bubbling: The visa affair around Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock (Greens) draws wide circles and the excitement is great! The public prosecutor has initiated investigations against high -ranking officials from the Federal Foreign Office because they apparently put pressure on employees to reject visa applications, although incorrect or invalid papers were presented. Particularly explosive: A case at the German Embassy in Islamabad, where a visa was issued with a fake passport. According to reports from Merkur this does not seem to be an individual case. Similar things happened in June 2024 in Addis Ababa, where five students also received Visas, despite the clear concerns of the embassy staff.

The reactions are violent! Union politicians accuse Baerbock to make compromises in the security of the visa in order to promote their political agenda. The Afghanistan Analyst Network brings another criticism: While quick support for Afghans was promised, the hurdles for the visa allocation were extremely high. This ensures tensions - especially in the Federal Office for Migration and Refugees, where the processing of asylum applications is in full swing, regardless of how the applicants got into the country.
