SPD and Greens against asylum procedures outside Europe

SPD and Greens against asylum procedures outside Europe 10 hours The fact that the CDU, of all people, as a “Christian-conservative party”, now wants to “effectively undermine” the right to asylum is disturbing, says Irene Mihalic from the Greens. The SPD also criticizes the initiative by NRW's Prime Minister Wüst (CDU). He defends his idea. Shakes up the asylum debate with a proposal: Hendrik Wüst (CDU) The SPD and Green parties in the Bundestag reject the asylum procedures outside the European Union (EU) proposed by the CDU and FDP. “I am surprised that the Union, as a Christian-conservative party, finds it so easy to advocate solutions that do not comply with EU law and are intended to actually undermine the right to asylum,” said the first parliamentary director of the Green parliamentary group, Irene Mihalic, the Düsseldorf “Rheinischen Post”. Instead, realistic, legally compliant solutions are needed. SPD parliamentary group vice-president Dirk Wiese pointed out that constitutional procedures and compliance with human rights must be guaranteed in third countries. The Union interior ministers during the grand coalition, Horst Seehofer (CSU) and Thomas de Maizière (CDU), had already failed, Wiese told the newspaper. The ongoing negotiations with the EU Parliament about asylum procedures in centers at Europe's external borders are more promising. “In addition, Chancellor Scholz is currently negotiating with Nigeria about migration centers for returnees to support them in their return home,” said Wiese. Both are interrelated and are more humane than asylum procedures outside the EU. Wüst defends his advance North Rhine-Westphalia's Prime Minister Hendrik Wüst (CDU) had suggested that refugees, after being caught in Europe, should be brought to partner countries along the escape routes "so that procedures and the granting of protection can take place there in accordance with the rule of law." FDP parliamentary group leader Christian Dürr had also advocated asylum procedures in third countries outside the EU, which would “create clarity about protection status and prevent people without prospects from taking the dangerous route across the Mediterranean.” Wüst defended his advance. “We need procedures and granting of protection according to constitutional rules right there on site, not just here in our country,” he told the “Rheinische Post”. “We also have to support these partner countries financially. Dying in the sea must stop, that is the goal.” Next Monday, the prime ministers of the federal states will discuss migration policy with Chancellor Olaf Scholz (SPD).
