Figures show a modest increase. - Left discusses "obsession with deportation".
By the end of March, 4791 individuals lacking residence status had been expelled from Germany. This indicates a roughly 33% increase in deportations during the first quarter of the year.
However, this figure hardly scratches the surface of the issue. In December 2023 alone, a staggering 48,700 individuals in Germany were legally required to leave the country. The majority of these are denied asylum seekers whose stays were not renewed.
An even higher number, 242,600, includes all those obliged to depart, but most of them have a tolerated presence.
She cautions: "Humanity and the principles of the rule of law must also apply to rejected asylum seekers."
Amthor: Characterizing deportations as an obsession given these figures appears to be delusional.
Actually, deportations do not always occur. During the first quarter of the current year, 7048 planned removals were canceled. The individuals involved were either no longer locatable, or the flights could not take place.
Moreover, 15 EU nations are pushing for more stringent measures to solve the asylum crisis. Their proposed solution includes tracking down migrants at sea and sending them to a "safe place" in a partner country outside the EU. These countries are Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, Estonia, Greece, Italy, Cyprus, Latvia, Lithuania, Malta, the Netherlands, Austria, Poland, and Romania.
