Politicians from the and parties have accused the conservative bloc of Chancellor of creating migration chaos after a Berlin court ruled on Monday that
“It is underhand and very concerning if people keep trying to test the legal framework to the limit and are also willing to break the law in the process,” Green Party leader Felix Banaszak told newspapers from the Funke media group on Tuesday.
Banaszak said the conservatives, who lead the coalition government, were trying to “push through their agenda in Trump manner” by making provocative announcements and giving orders that were obviously not legally viable.
“Measures that undermine European law are not helpful, but only create chaos” amid efforts to achieve “real improvements” in migration policy, he said.
Jan van Aken, who heads the Left Party, told the daily Rheinische Post that the government was violating the law “only because it needs scapegoats.”
“The government has to finally deal with the real problems — a rent limit, an active investment policy and a wealth tax” instead of trying to distract from these issues at the cost of the weakest in society, van Aken said.
On Monday, the Berlin Administrative Court ruled that the rejection of asylum-seekers at the German border ordered by Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt was against the law.
Dobrindt has, however, said that he will continue with the policy, claiming that the ruling pertained only to one specific case.
