Dobrindt wants to increase deportations to Afghanistan

Federal Minister of the Interior Alexander Dobrindt wants to deport more criminals to Afghanistan and Syria. He is currently in the process of organizing regular deportations not only with charter flights, but also with scheduled flights, the CSU politician said in a speech at the Saxon Union's state party conference in Leipzig. "We will continue the talks with Afghanistan and Syria and ensure that these deportations simply take place."

Society expects convicted criminals not to return to the cities and districts after a prison stay. "We must also significantly increase this willingness to continue deporting people, because we must also take into account the legitimate concerns of our population that they do not want to find these people back in their cities and communities."

He was recently asked whether he had any qualms about deporting people to Afghanistan, said Dobrindt. His answer was: "I would not have qualms about doing everything I can to ensure that criminals who endanger our society in Germany are not deported. And that is why we will continue to pursue this consistently."
