In the dispute over faster deportation of rejected asylum seekers, FDP parliamentary group leader Christian Dürr has proposed linking the return to countries of origin to the promotion of climate protection.
"In order to put pressure on the countries of origin, we could, for example, link redemptions to money for climate protection," Dürr told the "Bild" newspaper on Saturday.
“Those who take back their compatriots receive support in return, for example in the production of climate-neutral fuels for cars in Germany.
That would be in our mutual interest.«
Dürr emphasized that readmission agreements with the countries of origin are now needed.
"They often deny that the criminals are their citizens," he said.
“We have to get to it.” The FDP politician rejected proposals to link deportations to the issuing of visas: “I don’t believe in that.
We need immigration.
We have to keep reminding ourselves of that.«
In the interview with "Bild", Dürr was asked, among other things, to what extent Brokstedt's bloody crime could have been prevented.
Because the public prosecutor's offices were "massively overwhelmed," Dürr demanded, among other things, that the police and judiciary finally have to be much better equipped.
Here he sees the prime minister as responsible.
A few days ago, the stateless Palestinian Ibrahim A. stabbed two people and injured many others on a regional train from Kiel to Hamburg.
An act that, among other things, has fueled discussions about crime, harsher penalties and the right to asylum.
