Almost the German press is hosting the news of the federal administrative court’s ruling in favor of Germany’s right to deport to Greece that arrived there, under the Dublin regulation. It is a decision-station with huge political consequences, since in the ranks of its Christian Union many regarded it as a kind of “condition” in order to be able to implement the program of the next Berlin government for it.
‘Bread, bed, soap’
The Die Welt newspaper writes: “The court characterizes the deportations of unmarried, healthy and capable immigrants to work in Greece as permissible. Despite the shortcomings in the Greek reception system, this unknown group of people is not threatened with extreme difficulties in the country, the Leipzig Court has ruled on Wednesday. So he rejected the complaints of a state -of -the -art citizen from the northern lane of Gaza and a Somal. Men left their homeland in 2017 and 2018. They entered Greece through Turkey. They were granted international refugee protection and received a temporary residence permit. Later they traveled to Germany and asked for asylum again. “
Their request was rejected by the competent federal service, and a similar ruling had been made by the Administrative Court of Hesse.
As the newspaper points out, “the point of reference is whether immigrants to Greece have” bread, bed and soap “at their disposal, said President Robert Keller. “It’s not many, we know it. This is a hard benchmark. However, the Senate is convinced that living conditions in the country of southern Europe are not such as to violate people’s rights based on the EU’s fundamental rights map (…) According to the federal judges, after their return to Greece, people would have to fight. However, they can find accommodation. They can also find access to food and labor – either through coalitions or through the so -called underlying economy. “
The newspaper, however, notes that “other courts had more critical of the situation in Greece. For this reason, there has been no mass deportations from Germany to Greece for years. NGOs, such as Pro Asyl, continue to criticize the miserable situation that immigrants face in Greece. Bureaucratic procedures prevent access to fundamental rights. ” Obviously the judges ruled that this is not a problem for Germany.
Festive style by Bild
Bild Zeitung in a festive tone is entitled “Now Massive Expansions to Greece?” It even hosts a statement by the President of the Federal Migration Service, Hans-Ekhard Zommer: “We will immediately apply this decision in practice and will consistently reject asylum applications by people in this group. To make it clear that further immigration to Germany is not worth it, the deportations to Greece must now take place quickly. “
According to the Federal Migration and Refugee Service (BAMF), only in 2024, 25,112 immigrants who had previously been recognized as refugees in Greece, applied for asylum.
Taz: Kafkian situations in Greece
“Excellent again in Greece” is the title of Tageszeitung, which also refers to the details of the 32 -year -old Somali refugee case: “During the oral listening, his lawyer described the Kafkian state of recognized refugees in Greece: to find a job a refugee needs. But it gets so if the employer confirms that he has a job. This is not a jungle of bureaucracy, it is a wall, his colleague said indignant. Greece started the Helios+ Help Program for recognized refugees. “
And he continues: “However, the program does not apply if a refugee has lived outside Greece for more than two years,” the lawyer said. Somalos would leave empty hands if he returned as he lives in Germany since 2019.
The newspaper notes that lawyers want to challenge the decision. “The Pro Asyl Organization described the decision as incomprehensible and wants to continue to record the situation in Greece. Pro Asyl and the Greek affiliated Refugee Support Aegean organization want to continue to substantiate the situation in Greece in order to justify new lawsuits. “
