Test of Berlin on migrants: Merz copies Meloni

Several Member States are taking more stringent measures. In Germanythe public and political debate intensified following a series of attacks. The German authorities have started a revision of the migratory policies already under the chancellor of Olaf Scholz, and the line continued with Merz.

One of the main knots concerns The integration of refugees and asylum seekers. The German government highlighted critical issues related to the failure to integrate a part of the migrant population, underlining problems of public order and social coexistence. The chancellor distinguished between those who have integrated positively into the economic and social fabric of the country and those who, on the other hand, would not have respected the local rules and values.

One thing appears clear: Merz has not been intimidated by the opposition of the judiciary. As we told you, the administrative court of Berlin tried to put the sticks in the wheels to the executive by blocking a rejection at the border of three Somali citizens: for the togas, those three rejections were to be considered illegitimate because the procedure provided for by the Dublin regulation would not have been performed to establish which European state was competent to examine the request for asylum.

The sentence did not frighten Merz and his ministers, therefore. The German government has no intention of back on the tightening on migrants And the Minister of the Interior Dobrindt had already reiterated in a note that “we will continue with rejections” and that “the legal base for this policy exists and we believe we are acting in full compliance with European law”. Clear words, which indicate a will to go on without letting yourself be curbed by legal quibbles.

A strong signal, again, from Berlin, which a few days ago announced of Don’t finance the NGOs anymore engaged in the rescue of migrants in the Mediterranean. “The federal government no longer provides for subsidies to NGOs engaged in the rescue of civilians” the confirmation of government sources at the FP.
