Nancy Faeser wants to reorganize European immigration policy.

According to a media report, the SPD interior minister's initiative alarmed the German security authorities.

Berlin - early February on the border between Turkey and Greece: Within just two days, Turkish border guards discovered a total of 19 bodies, many of them unclothed.

The people who apparently wanted to join the European Union froze to death in freezing temperatures.

The Turkish Interior Minister Süleyman Soylu then accused the Greek authorities of picking up the migrants without clothes and shoes in the border area and forcing them back into Turkish territory.

In order to prevent such so-called pushbacks in the future, the German Interior Minister Nancy Faeser (SPD) is currently trying to get the EU states to agree on the issue of migration.

An internal report by German security authorities, reported on by

Bild

, now allegedly warns of Faeser's advance.

According to Bild

, this would have a direct impact on the extent of illegal migration and lead to an increase in migratory pressure

.

In mid-January, Faeser announced that he wanted to end the EU countries' blockade of a common refugee policy.

To this end, she called for the formation of a “coalition of the willing”.

Accordingly, some of the EU states could declare their willingness to take in refugees;

other member states that are not willing to do so could make payments as compensation.

"We are ready to move forward on the way to a functioning EU asylum system with a coalition of receptive member states," Faeser said on Twitter.

Above all, the Eastern European EU states are refusing to take in migrants.

Union: Criticism of Nancy Faeser's "Coalition of the Willing"

According to Faeser, the aim of their plan is to enable regular migration and at the same time to stop irregular migration.

Not least because of the refugee dramas that were taking place on the border between Belarus and Poland and in the Mediterranean, Faeser wanted a more open migration policy than under Horst Seehofer, her predecessor in the Ministry of the Interior.

The EU should no longer stand by and watch 'people don't drown in the Mediterranean'.

According to the German security authorities, however, according to the

Bild

report, Faeser's policies have led to a noticeable change in the flow of refugees within the EU.

Criticism of Faeser's plans came from Union parliamentary group leader Andrea Lindholz, who described the Interior Minister's initiative as "old wine in new bottles".

Faeser's "coalition of the willing" can only function "when the EU's external borders are protected, rejected asylum seekers are returned and further migration within the EU is prevented".

Faeser, on the other hand, received support from Luxembourg's Foreign Minister Jean Asselborn, who called it "shameful" that European countries shielded their borders against migrants with barbed wire.

Nancy Faeser: Shitstorm because of article in Antifa magazine

The

Bild

article about the alleged concerns of the German security authorities comes just days after Faeser was criticized for a contribution to an anti-fascist magazine.

Based on a report by Junge Freiheit

, which is

close to the AfD ,

Bild

wrote about a text that Faeser had written for the antifa magazine several months before she took

office

.

Behind

antifa

is the Association of People Persecuted by the Nazi Regime - Bund der Antifaschisten (VVN-BdA), which is classified by the Bavarian Office for the Protection of the Constitution as "Germany's largest organization influenced by left-wing extremists in the field of anti-fascism".

Faeser's article, in which she writes about right-wing extremist threatening letters from "NSU 2.0", was heavily criticized, especially by Union politicians.

"The SPD is largely blind in the left eye," said CDU interior expert Christoph de Vries.

Faeser herself defended her text for the association, which was founded in 1947 by surviving resistance fighters and those persecuted by the National Socialists.

"I have always shown a clear edge against right-wing extremism and all enemies of open society - and will continue to do so," wrote the 51-year-old on Twitter.
