Tightening - Haseloff criticizes delays for migration law
Saxony-Anhalt's Minister President Reiner Haseloff has no sympathy for the fact that planned tightening of migration laws is being delayed. "Uncontrolled migration is one of the biggest problems in Germany," the CDU politician told the Mitteldeutsche Zeitung newspaper (weekend edition). The federal states and local authorities are currently overwhelmed by the scale of migration. "This makes the stop sign put up by the federal level all the more incomprehensible." Haseloff fears "that the delay will further undermine people's trust in the ability of politicians to act".
Originally, the final consultation and vote on the reform of the citizenship law and the so-called Return Improvement Act was to be put on the Bundestag agenda this week. SPD parliamentary group leader Rolf Mützenich said on Friday that he expected the legislative package to come into force in April 2024.
By simplifying procedures, the SPD wants to ensure that deportations no longer fail so often at the last minute, for example because the people concerned cannot be found. The maximum duration of detention pending deportation is to be extended from ten days to 28 days. Representatives of the authorities should also be allowed to enter rooms other than the deportee's room in shared accommodation.
