Refugee policy - More deportations from Baden-Württemberg
According to Justice Minister Marion Gentges (CDU) from Baden-Wuertemberg, 40 percent more people have been deported from this country in the first half of this year compared to the same period last year. Gentges mentioned this figure to the "Stuttgarter Zeitung". In total, therefore, 1,356 people were reportedly sent back to their home countries (January to June of the previous year: 945).
Gentges called for decisive action from the Federal Government in an interview; it is in negotiations for repatriation agreements with countries of origin and is helpful in obtaining personal documents. It is incomprehensible, said the CDU politician, that even so-called offenders and serious criminals cannot be returned to countries like Syria and Afghanistan.
