Since 2020, Germany has taken in 2,812 refugees from Greece on humanitarian grounds. In the view of the German government, it has fulfilled its own obligations. Clara Bünger from the Left Party, Member of the Bundestag criticizes the insufficient efforts of the EU states. There is a lack of a permanent relief of the states at the European external borders and a lack of a fair division of responsibility within the EU. Instead, more and more new camps are being built and the system of the so-called "hotspots" is being expanded. read more

The UK lags behind other European countries in the number of asylum seekers granted refugee status. By "exporting" its responsibility with the current deportation agreement with Rwanda, and thus now transferring responsibility entirely to another country, it is attempting to move further away from its international and moral obligations. The agreement represents a crisis of responsibility and sets a dangerous precedent for other countries to leverage migration for political purposes. read more

In recent weeks, the EU is moving ahead with a fundamental reform of the asylum system, which is almost entirely based on Seehofer's ideas. The core idea is that those who reach the external borders will first be sent to camps to undergo a preliminary examination to determine whether access to a regular asylum procedure will be granted at all. read more

"I know that it is not legally possible now, but we should discuss it and talk about it," said Karner. The UK's heavily criticised agreement with Rwanda provides for "illegal" entrants to be denied access to an asylum procedure. Instead, they are to be sent to Rwanda and apply for asylum there. read more
