Germany plans quick deportation measures
Germany is planning measures to expedite the deportation of rejected asylum seekers from Algeria and Morocco including placing them in special expulsion centers, officials said yesterday.
The proposals came after a sharp rise in new arrivals from the two countries and public outrage over a rash of attacks on women on New Year鈥檚 Eve in the western city of Cologne blamed on North African and Arab migrants.
Welt am Sonntag newspaper said Chancellor Angela Merkel and Bavarian state leader Horst Seehofer had agreed that Algerian and Moroccan asylum seekers should not be put in shelters throughout the country.
Instead, they would be housed in existing expulsion centers in Bavaria until their claims have been heard, similar to that used for people from Balkan countries who are unlikely to get asylum.
Vice Chancellor Sigmar Gabriel noted yesterday that this option could be applied more widely.
Germany has said it wants free up resources to help people fleeing war-ravaged countries such as Syria, who made up about 40 percent of the nearly 1.1 million people who arrived last year.
Albania, Bosnia, Kosovo, Macedonia, Montenegro and Serbia have all been declared safe countries of origin by Germany, meaning their citizens have very little chance of gaining refugee status.
Berlin plans to add Algeria and Morocco to the list.
The numbers of Algerian asylum seekers arriving in Germany rose to 2,296 in December from 847 in June, while those from Morocco jumped to 2,896 from 368, the interior ministry said.
