Germany is the country in the European Union that accepts the most refugees and migrants, and when Berlin asks other countries to take back the migrants for whom they are responsible, no result is achieved, writes the German newspaper "Bild", quoted by BTA.
The publication notes that the EU member state through which the migrant entered the EU territory must actually take care of him, as provided for in the Dublin Agreement. New data from the Federal Office for Migration and Refugees (which "Bild" has) show that the EU system is being neglected to the detriment of Germany.
In 2024 Germany has asked Bulgaria to take back 8,090 people who were registered as migrants for the first time on Bulgarian territory. Bulgaria has said it is responsible for 3,297 migrants, but in reality 290 people have been returned.
Italy was supposed to take in 12,841 migrants, but in fact it took in only three. This means that Rome has taken in 0.0288 percent of the migrants it is responsible for.
Other EU countries, which send the most migrants to Germany, are also taking in almost no people, despite being obliged to do so. Greece has taken in 22 people, and Croatia has returned 533 people, although almost 13,000 should have been.
The Secretary General of the Christian Democratic Union (CDU), Carsten Linemann, said that for him this was "further proof that the asylum system in Europe is not working".
"The data speaks for itself. We need a change in migration policy. We must stop illegal migration to Germany and return people from the German borders," he said.
The numbers are not a coincidence, but calculations. In December 2022, the Italians said that they would no longer accept refugees and migrants from other EU countries, arguing that the high number of people entering Italy.
And Germany? She expressed hope that Rome's decision was temporary and that it had since taken care of the migrants for whom Italy was responsible.
"Bild" explains that in 2024 Germany managed to return only 13 percent of the migrants that other countries were supposed to take care of, while at the same time taking back 45 percent of the people who were supposed to be returned to it.
