Anxiety? What concern?! German media, like DW.com and ZDF, calms Poles: deportations of migrants to Poland are just a formality, there is no origin for concern, and everything is done according to procedures. After all, Germany does nothing incorrect – it simply enjoys EU law.
And that Poland bears the consequences, must again accept foreigners which Germany does not want, and stays in this situation with its hand in a potty? This is simply a "detail" that German portals do not intend to make public.
DW.com published an article about the recently formed Dublin Centre in Eisenhüttenstadt – a centre to act as a aggregate point for migrants who should be deported to another EU country, mainly Poland.
What's the procedure? The foreigner first passes the registration, his fingerprints go to the European database, and the strategy checks whether the individual has already applied for asylum in another country. If so, he goes back there. In most cases this country will be Poland, due to the fact that it is through its borders that many migrants enter the EU.
DW.com tries to overthrow “Polish myths”, explaining that Eisenhüttenstadt is not a fresh centre for migrants, but only a functioning reception camp has been operating there for years. However, since 13 March, the Dublin Centre has been operating there.
The German portal ZDF besides addressed the Dublin Centre. In an article entitled "Abschieben: Was Dublin-Zentren leisten sollen" (Deportations: What to give Dublin Centers), German journalists stress that new deportation centres are established throughout Germany and are intended to velocity up the return of migrants where they should have registered first.
Moreover, the portal informs that The Bundestag has already approved the plan to set up specified centres in all landathe procedure is not individual but systemic.
However, there is simply a "problem": not all countries want to receive deported migrants. According to ZDF Greece and Italy frequently refuse to accept them – which means that the migrant stays in Germany. But Poland, as Olaf Jansen states, always agree to receive its "dublinists".
So Germany can be calm – Poland turned out to be a loser again.
German officials praises cooperation with Poland, stressing that deportations take place regularly, from Monday to Thursday, at designated times and through 5 border crossings. The transfer looks banal: German services pack the foreigner into the bus, go to the border, hand him over to Poles and... ready!
Does Poland have anything to say? Of course. Thank you for the “gift” and we are doing well.
ZDF admits that although Germany sends migrants, most of them return to Germany in a fewer days or weeks. The German authorities mention to this as the ‘returning door effect’ – the deportees cross the border again and land in German asylum centres.
What did the German authorities decide to prevent? Introduction stricter rulesto guarantee that migrants posted to Poland cannot apply for asylum again in Germany.
Which is: If Poland has agreed to accept them, this is our problem now.
The head of the Dublin Centre, Olaf Jansen, emphasises that “They are not criminals, they are people seeking a better life”. How touching!
But if they're specified good people, why don't the Germans want them?
If it were only formality and procedure, Berlin should presume any work for the migration problem. However, the German authorities only usage EU rules erstwhile it is convenient for them.
And if anyone else believes in European solidarity, let us remind them: Greeks and Italians can say no, Poland – as usual – yes.
But calmly, German media assures that Poland has nothing to worry about.
It's due to the fact that ‘it is only 300-400 people per year’, ‘Procedure operates legally’, ‘normal practice’.
Only that it is Germany who dictates the conditions, and Poland – as usual – is simply expected to accept what was decided in Berlin. This time, too, “be calm.”
