The baton in European politics ‘tramping’ was taken by the first group of immigrants to intercept in international waters south of Lampedusa in Albania. It is noteworthy that for the first time since World War II and a few weeks before the early elections (on February 23) in Germany, a taboo was broken and the Alternative for Germany (AfD) came out of the isolation in which it was because its parties Democratic arc did not work with the far -right.
The “door” for this dangerous turn was opened on Wednesday (29/1) by the candidate Chancellor of the Christian Democratic Union (CDU), Friedrich Mertzpassing a resolution on the tightening of immigration policy with the AFD partnership. But two days later, on Friday, the bill submitted by Mertz (338-350) even though the AfD voted in favor, because there were leaks from the CDU’s center wing.
Ten years after the warm welcome of the Chancellor Angela Merkel, the “unholy” partnership of Wednesday with the AfD, Merz announced that he would put a “cut” on the flows and strokes in the asylum if he was elected Chancellor. A voting turn, in the wake of the murderous attack by a car on the Christmas market of Magdeburg (December 20) and a knife with a knife in Asafenburg (January 22).
Mertz, who according to polls is the favorite for Chancellor, announced the replacement of European asylum law with National, banning Germany to enter people without documents, including refugees. Adopting tons of US President Donald Trump’s worthy worthy tones, he pledged that the measures would be implemented “from the first day” of his term.
Who want CDU and AFD cooperation?
Confident, in the end, “the CDU will not make a coalition agreement with the AfD after the election,” says Professor at the Frey University of Berlin Max Steinhard. “There is too much resistance within the CDU – see Merkel’s statements – but also within German society. The right wing of the CDU works nevertheless to normalize relationships with the AfD, to prepare the ground for coalitions first at the local level and later in a national. “
“The CDU knows that his proposals clash with German constitutional law and European regulations and cannot be implemented in practice, so he is simply seeking to win votes in the elections,” Rosa Luxembourg’s head of the office in Athens says in Vima, Cantslaitter Boris. However, he believes that Mertz’s choices are “harmful to democracy and legalize AfD”.
Melon sent immigrants to Albania
On Tuesday, the day before the parliamentary developments in Germany, a patrol of the Italian Navy tied to a port in Northern Albania, carrying 49 immigrants, “intercepted” last weekend “in international waters”. The journalist
On the Albanian news platforms Reporters and Citizens and the European Journalism Observatory, Artan Rama, says Vima that most of his compatriots are condemning the conversion of their country into the “landfill of the Balkans. Albania is already hosting members of the Iranian opposition, pro -American Afghans and Northern African immigrants. “
Unexpectedly, five of the 49 immigrants – two from Gambia, one of the Cinema Coast and two from Bangladesh – were transferred to Italy on the same day after a search on their arrival at the Albanian port, when the four were found to be minors and one minors. in the “vulnerable” category.
The Italian structures in Albania have remained permits until this week as the immigrant relocation plan, which would be implemented last August, hit the Rome judges, who ordered the groups of immigrants who had been sent to Albania in two doses in two doses. and in November, to return to Italy. The immigrants who were sent last Tuesday, however, were collected in international waters and not to Italian. In the background of developments in Germany and Italy, however, Europe shows positive against “repatriation centers” in third countries, based on the Italian model.
“The core of the answer to the question of whether European countries can bypass European immigration legislation is that such an action is contrary to EU law. And therefore, in such a case, the European Commission may appeal to the European Court of Justice. Union, ”explains Thanassis Kalogiros, a PhD candidate at the Sorbonne Law School. “The appeal is followed by a violation of the court of Luxembourg. So the question arises: In the possible violation, Ursula von der Laien will move against Martz’s political and party homosexuals? “
