Germany’s new coalition government is considering stricter migration policies, including designating Morocco, Algeria, and India as “safe countries of origin,” according to a leaked internal document reported by German media.

The alliance comprising the Christian Democratic Union (CDU), the Christian Social Union (CSU), and the Social Democratic Party (SPD) is focusing on comprehensive actions aimed at reinforcing immigration policies. One of their suggestions involves increasing the authority granted to federal law enforcement agencies so they can more effectively apprehend and expel immigrants.

Upon approval, this classification would streamline the deportation process for asylum seekers from Morocco and other specified nations by assuming that their claims are not likely to fulfill the necessary protective standards. Individuals subject to deportation would find limited opportunities to contest their expulsion within Germany’s legal system.

The proposed plan additionally recommends eliminating the legal obligation for offering judicial support to those opposing deportation orders. Furthermore, federal law enforcement might obtain expanded power to hold migrants briefly pending their deportation.

Even though talks continue, disagreements persist among coalition members, notably regarding family reunification rules and the “Right to Remain” legislation. This law enables specific refused asylum applicants to stay in Germany following five years of lawful residency. The CDU disapproves of this policy, whereas the SPD pushes for greater compassionate safeguards.

The discussion also encompasses social welfare issues, where the SPD advocates for maintaining economic aid for migrants who may face expulsion, whereas the CDU and CSU advocate for more stringent rules to limit public support.

Previously, the CDU’s parliamentary group advocated for classifying Morocco as a safe country, contending that immigrants from this North African nation do not encounter persecution or insufficient governmental safeguards. It is anticipated that the alliance will conclude crucial immigration policy choices over the next few weeks.
