Germany Steps Up Afghan Deportations as Migration Debate Intensifies
(MENAFN) Germany deports 23 Afghan men to Kabul on Tuesday, reinforcing the government’s tougher approach to immigration as regional elections approach.
The deported individuals are all under existing removal orders, with most having been convicted of serious offenses, including sexual crimes and physical assault, according to the Interior Ministry.
Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt says the government intends to continue carrying out deportations as part of its migration policy.
“Our society has a clear interest in ensuring that criminals must leave our country,” he said. “Anyone who does not have a right of residence in Germany must expect to leave. We are implementing this course in a determined way.”
The removal of undocumented migrants, rejected asylum seekers and foreign nationals convicted of crimes has become a major issue in Germany’s political debate. The far-right Alternative for Germany has placed migration at the center of its campaign ahead of elections in three states next month.
Party officials and election candidates accuse Chancellor Friedrich Merz’s conservative-led government of failing to address irregular migration quickly enough. They argue that rejected asylum seekers and convicted offenders are not being deported efficiently, describing current measures as too slow and insufficiently enforced across the country.
The latest deportation reflects Berlin’s efforts to demonstrate a stricter migration policy while facing increasing political pressure over immigration and public security.
