Dresden (dpa / sn) - From the perspective of the left, the Saxon Kenya coalition disappoints the hope for a better life for refugees in Saxony.

In the CDU, Greens and SPD government, many had relied on a paradigm shift in asylum policy, said state parliament member Juliane Nagel on Thursday.

“But the bottom line is that it stayed the same.

A few small improvements in access to a training toleration and in the obligations of the local immigration authorities in participation procedures in identifying cannot hide the fact that the CDU continues to shape the Saxon asylum policy with its restrictive hand. "

The Ministry of the Interior shows maximum severity, especially when it comes to deporting people, said Nagel.

Whether it is deportations to war and crisis-ridden Afghanistan, separation of families, deportation of sick and impaired persons or even the attempted pick-up of a young person from a youth welfare facility: "The pace of the Saxon authorities has even tightened in the past few months."

In the corona pandemic, deportations would be completely prohibited out of consideration for the health and protection of those affected, because there is usually only fragile social and health care in the countries of origin.

There was also a critical voice from the coalition: family separations and pickups at night in the event of deportations are “not acceptable,” said Green MP Petra Čagalj Sejdi.

"That there was family separation in more than 40 percent of deportations from Saxony in 2020 and that in five cases families were picked up at night is alarming for us."

This is especially traumatic for children and represents an encroachment on the child’s wellbeing. The Greens firmly rejected the interior ministry’s current deportation practice.

That has already been made clear several times.

The deportation to corona risk areas is also viewed critically.

The Saxon Refugee Council reported on Thursday about the deportation of a family of six from Pirna to Albania.

They only had an hour to pack their things, it was said.

The father of the family only had four euros in his pocket because the social welfare office had saved the benefits two working days earlier.

The family is now completely penniless.
