- Minister Paul Dares to Oppose Dublin Regulation
After the incident in Solingen, Green Party's Refugee Minister in North Rhine-Westphalia, Josefine Paul, is advocating for a reevaluation of the Dublin-III Regulation, which governs asylum responsibilities. The deportations under this rule involve intricate legal procedures involving various levels and authorities, as explained by her office in Düsseldorf. "This procedure necessitates a fundamental review to prevent future mishandlings," they stated.
At present, they are examining if there were any errors in implementing the regulation in the suspected attacker's case in Solingen. Any inconsistencies must be addressed and rectified. This is crucial for the victims and their families.
Paul proposed forming a collaborative team between the federal, state, and local governments. This group's objective is to pinpoint the present challenges and barriers in the repatriation process, specifically in Dublin transfers. The findings should then lead to legal conclusions. "Such incidents must not recur - this should serve as a guiding principle for all German authorities." Paul affirmed, stressing her determination to avoid a repeat of the Solingen tragedy and doing everything to prevent it.
Paul expressed her shock over the attack, stating, "We are all deeply saddened by this incident in the heart of our country." North Rhine-Westphalia as a whole has been impacted by this heinous act, this hatred."
The Refugee Ministry in North Rhine-Westphalia is actively working to clarify the botched repatriation of the Syrian. "With utmost urgency, thoroughness, and consequences," they will follow through on this, she added, requesting a report from the Central Foreigners' Authority in Bielefeld and gathering all necessary information from the responsible federal authority.
In light of the proposed changes to the Dublin-III Regulation, it's essential to evaluate the impact of migration policies on asylum responsibilities and potential mishandlings. Any mistakes in implementing the regulation must be identified and corrected to ensure justice for the victims and their families.
Josefine Paul's advocacy for a collaborative team between governments highlights the importance of examining current migration challenges and barriers, aiming to prevent recurrences of incidents like the one in Solingen.
