How did the nationalities of asylum seekers change in 2024, and what factors contributed to these shifts?

The decrease in applications is uneven across nationalities. While applications from Syria, Afghanistan, Turkey, and Colombia fell, Venezuelan applications surged to a record high (73,187), mainly in Spain. Increased applications from Mali and Senegal (due to the Sahel conflict) and a 90% rise in Ukrainian applications (linked to expiring temporary protection) also impacted the overall numbers.

How do Merz's plans align with existing EU laws and what are the potential legal challenges?

Merz's proposals, based on Article 72 of the TFEU, prioritize national law over EU regulations when deemed necessary for national security, even with a declining number of asylum applications. This approach clashes with the EU's common asylum system and could trigger disputes with neighboring countries, potentially leading to a chain reaction along external borders.

How does the BAP's application process, including its reliance on "meldeberechtigten Stellen" and security checks in Pakistan, contribute to its inefficiency and potential for human rights violations?

The BAP's inefficiency stems from bureaucratic hurdles, including a lack of central application points and a secretive points-based selection system. Afghans must apply while still in danger, leaving those who already fled excluded. Subsequent security checks in Pakistan, sometimes involving discriminatory questioning, further complicate the process.

How did the man's legal status and alleged actions influence the decision-making process concerning his deportation?

The man's case highlights the complexities of the German deportation system. Although authorities deemed him a potential threat (police investigated him for theft, assault, and property damage), his lack of conviction and the timing of his deportation eligibility prevented his inclusion on the federal deportation list. This showcases the bureaucratic hurdles in deporting individuals even with serious concerns.
