Left Osnabrück calls for CDU posture: Asylum law in the crisis!

Osnabrück, Deutschland - In Osnabrück, the discussion about asylum policy is absorbed. The left Osnabrück urges CDU district chairwoman Verena Kämmerling to take a position. The focus is on a petition of the pier that deals with the dealings of the CDU/CSU with the fundamental right to asylum. This requirement is no coincidence. On June 2, 2025, the Berlin Administrative Court decided that the rejection of protection seekers at the German border is illegal, but leading Union politicians such as Friedrich Merz and Alexander Dobrindt are unimpressed by this judgment and are still staging for re -reverent measures. Here critics see a clear danger to human rights and the right to asylum, which is deeply rooted in history.

Christoph Erdmann, district spokesman for the left, clearly says: "Silence is not an option." He emphasizes this in the context of current political developments, which, in his opinion, undermine the fundamental right to asylum. His colleague Alys Leach goes one step further and demands a clear commitment to Kämmerling against human rights contrary to human rights. They refer to three central concerns of the Seebrücke petition:

Questions about asylum policy

• How about Kämmerling about Merz ’announcement of a“ factual entry stop ”?
• How does she assess the planned setting of recording programs for Afghans, even though they have already been approved?
• How does she evaluate the impending suspension of the family reunification for refugees with subsidiary protection?

In order to draw attention to the explosive situation, the left calls the Osnabrück population to support the petition. The goal is to collect at least 5,000 signatures by the World Refugee Day on June 20, 2025. "The CDU has to decide whether it wants to continue populist measures or take human rights seriously," explains Erdmann.

The topic is of great topicality, because around 60 million refugees worldwide are currently looking for a safe haven. These figures, which according to UNHCR represent the highest number since World War II, have largely originated in conflicts such as the civil war in Syria. Within the European Union, there are still violent debates about asylum policy, especially according to the collapse of the Dublin system, which determines that the responsibility for asylum applications is the first to enter the EU state. But in Germany and other countries there is little political will to fundamentally reform the asylum system.

The discussion about possible upper limits for asylum applications is particularly worrying. Such upper limits could lead to systematic human rights violations and contradict international agreements. Among other things, the Geneva Refugee Convention of 1951 states obliges refugees to grant residence rights, and Article 33 prohibits the rejection of refugees without examining their asylum application. This shows that rejections at the border are illegal without an appropriate examination and violate fundamental human rights.

In this context, it is essential that political decision -makers relate clear and solidarity positions to the ongoing flow of refugees. The path to protect the rights and the protection of refugees must be consistently followed in the coming weeks and months. Osnabrück is facing a crucial time, and whether the CDU continues to rely on populist sayings or takes on responsibility remains to be seen.

The Left is found in a key position, and it is due to the Osnabrück population to raise their voice and to campaign for the protection of human rights.
