Bundeskanzler Olaf Scholz has expressed concerns about the failures of authorities in North Rhine-Westphalia following the deadly knife attack in Solingen. Scholz questioned why the suspect, who was supposed to be deported to Bulgaria, was still in Germany.

He emphasized the need for an investigation into what went wrong and to learn from it to prevent similar incidents in the future. Scholz also mentioned the confusion surrounding the lack of attempts to locate the suspect and extend the deportation deadline.

The Chancellor expressed understanding for the public's frustration and highlighted the measures in place for deportation. The attack in Solingen has sparked a debate about deportations and possible shortcomings of authorities.

Germany deports criminal offenders to Afghanistan

Germany has deported 28 Afghan criminal offenders to Afghanistan in a charter flight organized by the Federal Ministry of the Interior. This marks the first deportation since the Taliban takeover. The decision to deport comes after knife attacks in Mannheim and Solingen. The deportees received 1,000 euros in cash. The flight, operated by Qatar Airways, departed from Leipzig/Halle Airport. The Solingen knife attack is believed to have an Islamist background, according to the Federal Prosecutor's Office. The deportation is part of Germany's efforts to address the security concerns posed by convicted criminals and terrorist threats. In the wake of the Solingen attack, Chancellor Olaf Scholz announced measures such as reducing benefits for certain migrants and tightening gun laws. The government's decision to deport these individuals has been met with both support and skepticism. While some politicians see it as a strengthening of the rule of law, others remain cautious about deportations to Afghanistan and the cooperation with the Taliban. However, it is clear that Germany prioritizes its security interests in this matter.

Germany to Increase Deportations to Afghanistan and Syria

Germany is set to escalate deportations to Afghanistan and Syria as part of efforts to enhance security. The government, under Faeser's leadership, has already witnessed a rise of over 20% in deportation numbers. Enhanced border controls and a deportation package have been initiated to address irregular migration. Faeser plans discussions with the CDU and state representatives regarding further security measures. The Islamic Center Hamburg, Hamidun, and Hamas have been banned to counter Islamism. The possibility of rejecting individuals at the border is not ruled out. The presence of radicalized Afghan individuals in Germany poses concerns, with calls for policy changes to regain border control. The need for action against societal threats is emphasized, with experts advocating a shift in political strategies. Criticism towards Faeser arises as the disbandment of the Political Islam expert group is questioned.
