Wüst urges Scholz to execute asylum investigations in foreign nations

Wüst stated, "Various strategies could be in play." He emphasized the importance of the Federal Chancellor thoroughly investigating which approach would suit Germany best.

The Interior Ministry of the Federation has sought opinions from over two dozen specialists, both domestic and foreign, in the past few months concerning the delegation of asylum evaluations to foreign nations. The primary drivers for this were primarily the asylum measures of Great Britain in eastern African Rwanda and Italy's pact for asylum processes in Albania. Nevertheless, most experts exhibited doubt about the applicability to Germany and highlighted numerous legal and practical hurdles.

A portfolio compiled by the ministry for the Bund-Länder meeting on this matter serves only as an intermediate analysis. This examination should persist, culminating in actionable suggestions. The Bund-Länder assembly might establish a timeline for this process.
