Green politicians do not want to agree to deportation law
With the topic of migration dominating all political debates, the federal cabinet decides on tougher deportation rules. However, some Green politicians are now having a hard time with them. They doubt the legality of the plans and therefore do not want to agree to them.
The Green parliamentary group in the Bundestag may not approve the law on easier deportations. This was reported by Redaktionsnetzwerk Deutschland (RND) with reference to leading party circles. A representative of the party council told the RND that a majority is currently not assured.
Legal experts doubt whether the bill is compatible with the Basic Law due to disproportionate encroachments on fundamental rights. These concerns are shared in parts of the parliamentary group in the Bundestag. MPs Filiz Polat and Julian Pahlke have already expressed their views accordingly.
In October, the Federal Cabinet passed a draft law for improved repatriations, which are currently failing in many cases. Under the plans, the police are to be given significantly greater powers to search and identify those affected. In addition, the maximum duration of detention pending deportation will be extended from 10 to 28 days in order to give the authorities more time to carry out deportations. The aim is also to accelerate the deportation of smugglers, criminals and people posing a risk.
The Green politicians in the German Bundestag are hesitant to approve the law on easier deportations due to their doubts about its compatibility with the Basic Law. Alliance 90/The Greens have raised concerns about potential disproportionate encroachments on fundamental rights, an issue that has also been highlighted by legal experts.
