After fatal attack: Dobrindt reaffirms deportation course to Afghanistan

German Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt has reiterated his stance on deporting offenders to Afghanistan following a fatal stabbing incident in Trier. Dobrindt stated that he considers such deportations a "compellingly necessary measure" and will continue to push for them, even to countries like Afghanistan.

“

I still consider this a compellingly necessary measure and will not let up on pushing forward these deportations to countries like Afghanistan.

Speaking to journalists in Berlin, the CSU politician emphasized that society has a right to have criminals removed from the country. He firmly rejected the notion that Germany should be responsible for accommodating all traumatized individuals worldwide, stating, "We are not the region of the world responsible for all mentally ill people and for all traumas, to put it hyperbolically."

The incident that prompted these remarks involved the fatal stabbing of a 22-year-old student in Trier. A 22-year-old Afghan national is the suspect in the case. Reports indicate the suspect allegedly stabbed the student at least twice in the upper body with a kitchen knife on the street for unknown reasons.

Society simply has a right to have criminals removed from the country.

Dobrindt's comments underscore a firm approach to immigration and criminal justice, prioritizing the removal of individuals deemed to have committed crimes, regardless of their country of origin or potential claims of trauma.

We are not the region of the world responsible for all mentally ill people and for all traumas, to put it hyperbolically.
