Shortly before the decision on the asylum dispute with the CSU
Chancellor Angela Merkel (CDU) tries to avoid an escalation of the government crisis with astonishingly ambitious proposals
The SPD and the CSU introduce a number of measures for a more specific course, for example for asylum seekers already registered in another EU country. Of the 14 countries,
Merkel is committed to reaching agreements to speed up the repatriation of these migrants. CDU and CSU want to discuss this Sunday separately on the aftermath of the action. SPD leader Andrea Nahles demanded that CSU "come to their senses".
As indicated by the eight-page letter of the German press agency Merkel, asylum seekers registered elsewhere in the EU
centers of anchorage provided are accommodated. They must undergo an accelerated procedure and are subject to an extended residence period, that is to say that they do not leave the facilities.
With
Greece and Spain Merkel also entered into other readmission agreements. Both countries agreed to take back the registered refugees who are being taken care of at the German border. For this Merkel announced in the letter the establishment of "return mechanisms close to the borders".
It was initially open how the chief CSU
Horst Seehofer reacted to the plans. The Federal Minister of Interior met Merkel at the Chancellery on Saturday night. Nothing was known about the results of the two-hour two-way conversation. Previously, according to the dpa's information, Seehofer had experts from his department to review and discuss the measures presented by Merkel.
The minister wants to open up to six centers in the country, where asylum seekers should live until the end of their proceedings. However, most federal states do not want to install anchor centers (Anker – abbreviation for: arrival, decision, municipal distribution or repatriation).
As other measures Merkel said in his letter to send the federal police to strengthen the EU's external border to Bulgaria. so there should be less entry into the Schengen border control area. Ms Merkel also proposes to fight more aggressively against Schengen visa abuse. With a stricter purchasing practice, we can drastically reduce visa abuse and thus the number of asylum seekers in Germany.
With the tension for this Sunday, a clarification of the government's emerging crisis for weeks is expected. In the afternoon in Munich the executive committee and members of the CSU parliament meet in Berlin, presidential council and board of directors of the CDU. At the heart of the dispute is that Seehofer intends to reject migrants registered elsewhere in the EU, if necessary, at the German border. Merkel continues to reject a unilateral approach, as she emphasizes again in the letter. The Chancellor has also linked this to her political competence. Up to now, three major border crossings with Austria have been randomly checked.
In the letter, Merkel presents her conclusions from the EU summit in Brussels and in parallel with her new negotiations with the various EU countries. It has received pledges from 14 countries to speed up the return of registered asylum seekers, including Hungary, Poland and the Czech Republic, who have so far been seen as harsh critics of the politics of asylum. 39, Merkel's asylum
. complete nonsense ". "Germany has not approached us, and for the moment I will not sign such an agreement," he said, according to a statement by his government. "There is no reason to bargain."
The federal government took this "regretful note," as one spokesman said. "The Czech side has expressed its willingness to negotiate an administrative agreement on better cooperation on repatriation (…)." These agreements aim to increase the effectiveness of the EU asylum rules.
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban commented Although he also denied, but left open what he talked about: "There was no agreement," said the right national politician of the MTI news agency. However, Ms Merkel had not mentioned the agreements already concluded, but "political commitments to conclude such agreements".
Andrea Nahles, leader of the SPD, asked, in view of the results of Brussels, "to give up and reinstitutionalize this subject come to reason." She stressed that from her point of view "alone and the Releases on the border are off the table. "Housing standards should be improved for the planned establishment of centralized transit warehouses in the EU. </ p> <p> There should not be any facilities. Ms. Merkel also badured that everyone in the centers must be able to exercise a rule of law.The Chancellor informed the coalition partners after the summit on Friday night by phone calls. Separate
The leaders of the CSU have not publicly responded to the points made public Saturday of Merkel's letter.The Bavarian Prime Minister Markus Söder (CSU), has congratulated EU decisions, but found a demand s for national measures. "Of course, what has been achieved in Brussels is more than originally thought," he told a CSU gathering. Without pressure from the UHC, summit decisions would not have been made. At the same time, he emphasized that the result allowed for national measures. Germany must act.
Erwin Huber, former head of the CSU, told the "Frankfurter Allgemeine Sonntagszeitung": "We are looking for anchoring centers anyway. This would be an appropriate measure to take care of these refugees. Michael Frieser, a member of the CSU Bundestag, told the newspaper, however, about his party's demands that it was "neither effective nor adequate". If someone has already asked for asylum elsewhere, "he must be returned immediately to the border". Deputy Prime Minister of Bavaria Ilse Aigner called for moderation.
Merkel received support from the CDU. "The Chancellor has done everything to find a solution to the conflict," said Saarland Prime Minister Tobias Hans (CDU), the "Tagesspiegel" (Sunday). The agreements at the summit of the EU gave him the hope of an agreement of the Union. The deputy mayor of the faction, Johann Wadephul (CDU), told the DPA that a solution to migration problems could not be achieved at the push of a button. "But realizing the Chancellor's vision will bring real improvements in the repatriation of refugees in a few weeks."
The Union Junge (JU) warned against a split in the parties of the Union. "Our call to the CDU and CSU: We are a union. We belong together. For our country, "said the German Council of the Young Scientists Organization of the CDU and CSU in Erfurt. The decision was also unanimous with the Bavarian delegates, it was said. The Bavarian EC is considered particularly critical of Merkel 's asylum policy.
