Migrants claiming asylum in Germany after flying from European countries

from Westmonster:

The AFD have accused the German government of covering up an “outrageous scandal” in which would-be asylum seekers are freely allowed to board planes within Europe in order to go and claim asylum in Germany.

Migrants entering Germany via plane from another European country would violate the EU’s Dublin Agreement, which states that asylum seekers must claim asylum in the first safe country they arrive in.

According to figures obtained by the party from the German Interior Ministry,  almost a third of all asylum seekers in Germany now arrive via plane.

Although there are no direct flights from countries such as Afghanistan, Syria or Eritrea into Germany, conservative media outlets believe the majority of them board planes in Greece, Italy and Turkeycompletely unopposed and unregistered, meaning they are free to continue into Germany to claim asylum. German media report that there are no civilian flights from the likes of Syria or Afghanistan.

In 2017, Germany registered 186,000 new asylum cases, something which probably cost Angela Merkel the election following a severe backlash from German voters.

“The authorities there do not seem to have prevented them from continuing to Germany. It is also interesting that they had enough money and the necessary papers to buy a plane ticket,” writes German newspaper, Junge Freiheit.

Leif-Erik Holm, the AFD politician who obtained the figures, told the paper: “The Federal Government must clear up completely, whether the data of the asylum applicants apply and from where exactly they enter Germany and she has to stop this if necessary.

“If every third asylum seeker arrives by plane to Germany, that would be an outrageous scandal. I wonder how that’s possible with the rules in force. ”
