Huge protest against the deportation center on BER: Community will soon decide!

At Berlin-Brandenburg (BER) Airport, the plans for a new “entry and departure center” are in the starting blocks, which is intended to optimize the processes for deportations. This project ensures a lot of discussion and already provided protests in the Schönefeld community. According to a report of the taz , a decisive coordination of the municipal council will take place next Wednesday, in which the construction project is for voting. If there is approval, construction work could be started in 2026, while commissioning is planned for early 2028.

In a demonstration last Sunday, around 150 people took part who spoke out against the planned deportation center. The organizers, including the "Solidarity Movement" initiative, express concerns about the potential criminalization of those seeking protection and criticize the center as a symbol of exclusion. The resistance to the center not only consists of protests, but also includes educational actions in the affected communities. Activists have already conducted door talks to inform the citizens about the effects of the project. Opinions in the community are mixed, even if the tendency tends to consent.

The construction and financing

The plans provide a total of 156 places for exit custody at the center, which means a four -time increase in the previous capacities. In addition, a quick procedure is planned to check asylum applications, which should take place within a few days. However, this raises concerns about legal support for those affected. The construction costs are estimated at 315 million euros, which is made available by the federal and state governments over a period of 25 years. Critics refer to public procurement law, since the order was awarded to a predominated investor without a public tender.

The planned center is intended to bundle the federal and the country's tasks to enter and leave migrants and provide an authority center for refugee matters, reports RBB24. Refugee organizations warn that the human dignity of those affected is endangered by such institutions, especially since the framework conditions for asylum procedures have been discussed in Germany for years.

challenges in asylum beings

In the context of the ongoing discussion, it is important to look at the historical background of Germany in the field of asylum. For example, the first legally regulated asylum procedure was introduced in Germany in 1953, and to this day the Federal Republic has developed into one of the main clip -in countries for refugees in the EU. According to a report by the BPB lived around 727,900 people with refugee protection in Germany, which makes the current challenges clear again.

with the planned deportation center on BER, which is referred to as an expression of a new "deportation era" in Germany by the refugee initiative "Alan Kurdi", the question arises as to how protection for refugees can be guaranteed in the past few years. The focus on faster procedures could lead to people being circumcised in their right to a fair asylum procedure, which in the current social debate about the willingness of migrants cannot be ignored.

The coordination of the municipal council on Wednesday is not only a local policy event, but also has far -reaching consequences that could be noticeable beyond the region. The effects of these plans will probably have a long time in the discussions about asylum law and social responsibility in Germany.
