- How did the number of deportations in Brandenburg compare to the previous year?
- Brandenburg saw a decrease in deportations of illegal migrants during the same period, with 194 deportations compared to 208 in the previous year. Some migrants were deported to their home countries, while others were transferred to other EU countries under the Dublin Agreement.
- What measures does the German Interior Ministry suggest to improve deportations?
- The German Interior Ministry believes that improved diplomatic efforts and migration agreements with more countries of origin are necessary to increase deportations. The ministry also stated that the lack of travel documents often hinders deportations.
- What was the trend in voluntary departures from Germany in the first nine months of the year?
- The number of voluntary departures from Germany increased significantly in the first nine months of the year, with 545 departures compared to 377 in the same period last year.
- What is Brandenburg's Interior Minister's assessment of the federal government's asylum policy?
- Brandenburg's Interior Minister, Michael Stübgen, criticized the federal government's asylum policy, claiming it lacks concrete actions and that promises remain unfulfilled.
- How might the classification of additional countries as safe countries of origin affect deportation possibilities?
- Adding more countries to the list of safe countries of origin, such as Algeria, Armenia, India, Morocco, and Tunisia, is expected to improve deportation possibilities. Lengthy asylum and legal proceedings often delay deportations for years.
