Why Aiwanger now wants to sue the German government


Hubert Aiwanger speaks plainly on the subject of migration. Faeser's announced border controls? Not enough. The EU breaks its own laws every day. He now wants to put pressure on Berlin.

Munich - The deputy Bavarian Prime Minister Hubert Aiwanger (Free Voters) has criticized the nationwide border controls ordered by Federal Minister of the Interior Nancy Faeser (SPD) as inadequate. In his state - where the borders are already controlled - he has had the experience that many illegal immigrants were caught, but that they were still allowed to enter the country after their personal details were recorded due to the current legal situation.

As long as people who enter Germany via a safe country are not consistently stopped, Faeser's announcement is "just eyewash again," said Aiwanger on Thursday on Welt TV. He generally praised the traffic light government's security concept. It was good that benefit cuts for asylum seekers were finally on the table, and he also liked the announcement that Islamism would be more strongly combated. But: "I am more skeptical about gun laws." He fears that "the wrong people will be hit." It would "certainly not do the matter justice if we discuss the length of knife blades."

Aiwanger announces lawsuit
When confronted with the statements of the Austrian Interior Minister Gerhard Karner (ÖVP) that according to EU law Vienna is not obliged to take back deported asylum seekers from Germany, Aiwanger argued that the EU is not abiding by its own law. "According to Schengen and Dublin, people have to be intercepted at the EU's external borders." Asylum procedures also have to be conducted outside the EU territory, but this has not worked for a long time.

He said that Berlin lacked the approach of "enforcing German positions at the EU level". That is why he announced that he would, together with the Bavarian government partner CSU, take legal action against the federal government to get it to change its asylum laws. It is now up to the Christian Social Union to join in.
