The German Minister of Finance, Christian Lindner, and the Minister of the Interior, Nancy Faeser, pleaded, on Friday, for additional security measures at the external borders of the European Union, in order to counter illegal immigration, even suggesting the installation of fences and rapid expulsions.
“I believe that, in the implementation of control measures, the possibility of physical barriers at the external borders” of the European Union, by building fences, should be examined, Christian Lindner said in an interview granted to RTL/NTV. The German Minister of Finance pleaded for “facilitating the access of immigrants with humanitarian reasons and those who are qualified”, according to the publication Die Welt.
“We will insist on credible measures for the identification, registration and additional verification of persons at the external borders of the European Union”, said, for her part, Nancy Faeser, the German Minister of the Interior, in an interview granted to the publication Handelsblatt.
Negotiations are taking place in Brussels on the topic of control procedures, with proposals for asylum applications to be analyzed quickly at the external borders, not after entering the EU space. “Asylum seekers will be able to be quickly expelled from the external borders of the EU”, insisted Nancy Faeser.
But politicians from the Left Party (Die Linke, opposition) criticized the Berlin Government’s plans, arguing that many non-EU immigrants will no longer have the right to fair asylum procedures. Bodo Ramelow, the prime minister of the German state of Thuringia, requested, according to the RND station, the automatic recognition of the legal status of asylum seekers who came to Germany after 2014, if they have not committed crimes for three years. “This would save us from all the bureaucracy and all the debates about the expulsions. And we won’t have to recruit additional work force,” argued Bodo Ramelow.
