Green Party co-leader in the European Parliament, Reintke, made a similar statement. The EU asylum system must finally be reformed so that orderly, humane constitutional procedures and fair distribution are possible.
There are differences in the EU over a crisis regulation proposed by Spain. The federal government has so far rejected this. According to information from the , Chancellor Scholz has now decided to give up resistance to crisis regulation. So far, the Greens in particular have criticized the regulation. It states that states that are under particularly high migration pressure can extend detention-like accommodation to migrants and can also apply stricter rules to people coming from countries with a high recognition rate.
Foreign Minister Baerbock (Greens) will meet tomorrow with Italian Foreign Minister Tajani. Migration policy should also be a topic.
Pro Asyl also criticized a possible approval of the regulation. “It would be a gift to right-wing radicals in Europe. Because they obviously determine the political agenda in the EU”, explained the association.
