In future, Saxony will rely on a state departure center to deal with asylum seekers who have no prospects of staying. It was set up on June 1, said Interior Minister Armin Schuster (CDU) after the cabinet meeting in Dresden. According to the coalition agreement, the aim is to relieve the burden on local authorities first.
In future, asylum seekers without tolerated status are to be accommodated in the center if they are still in the initial reception and where repatriation is likely or can be made possible in the foreseeable future. "If possible, we no longer want to distribute these people to the municipalities."
According to Schuster, the central management is a test, combined with the hope that the number of unsuccessful returns can be significantly reduced and the number of voluntary departures increased. This is because one of the obstacles is that people cannot be found. "We urgently want to change that." In the state departure center, there are reporting obligations for people who are there, close-meshed presence and absence checks, they are provided for, the principle of benefits in kind is suspended and very intensive advice is given on voluntary departure.
