A sudden request from German ruling party… a major difference between the political parties in Germany over the comprehensive ban on deportation to Syria

A dispute occurred within the ruling coalition in Germany about lifting the ban on deportation to Syria, against the background of the murder committed by a Syrian in Dresden.

The newspaper, Young Freiheit, on Monday, according to what was translated opposite to the walk, said that politicians from the ruling union spoke in favor of deportation from outside Germany, as Matthias Middelberg, the spokesman for internal issues of the parliamentary group of the Christian Democratic Union in the German Parliament (Bundestag), called on the Chancellor’s party.

Angela Merkel, “The comprehensive ban on deportation to Syria should be lifted, if this is possible under international law”.

Medelberg referred his request to assess the “lifting of the blanket deportation ban” to the Foreign Ministry headed by Heiko Maas, the latter of the Social Democratic Party, the ruling partner.

Middelberg drew attention to the Scandinavian countries, explaining: “It is amazing that countries such as Sweden and Denmark, as well as the asylum authority in the European Union consider parts of Syria safe enough, but Mr. (Haiku) Mas does not do that,” adding that he should the deportations are “implementable in a purely practical manner in the medium term”.

In light of the Dresden crime, he also called on the Minister of the Interior of Saxony, Roland Fuller (of the Christian Democratic Union), to lift the ban on deportation, and said: “Protecting our population is of priority”.

Ute Vogt, spokeswoman for the parliamentary group of the Social Democratic Party in the “Bundestag”, opposed the aforementioned demand, saying: “The situation is still insecure and life threatening, so deportation to Syria is still not justified”.

The Social Democrats received support for this position from the Left Party (De Linke), as Olah Yalbekh, spokeswoman for internal issues of his parliamentary bloc, confirmed this by saying: “Syria is not safe, not even for criminals … there should be no deportations to it”.

The leader of the parliamentary group in the Alternative for Germany, Alice Videl, insisted on the expulsion of “dangerous Islamists” and violent criminals, saying, “There should be no blanket ban on deportation”.

It is worth noting that there is currently a comprehensive ban on deportation to Syria, and it was extended last June, until the end of 2020, and it is expected that the Conference of Interior Ministers will decide again on the “comprehensive ban” in next December.
