The German Government Freezes The Asylum Applications Of 47,000 Syrian Refugees. The Austrian Government Declares: ‘We Should Make Deportations Possible Again.’
The government of Germany has frozen the asylum applications of 47,000 Syrian refugees, and the government of Austria is now saying that deportations should be made possible. As we read in RT:
Germany has stopped processing refugee applications from Syrian nationals, pending an assessment of the security situation in the country following the toppling of the Assad government by armed opposition groups, Der Spiegel has reported.
According to the outlet, the Federal Office for Migration and Refugees (BAMF) in Berlin on Monday ordered that decisions be halted on applications from Syrian asylum seekers. The move will likely affect over 47,000 pending applications, although it will have no impact on existing decisions, Der Spiegel reported, citing the migration service.

Neighboring Austria announced a similar decision on Monday, suspending all ongoing asylum requests from Syrian nationals, with the Interior Ministry saying it will prepare “orderly repatriations deportations.”
“Chancellor Karl Nehammer today instructed Interior Minister Gerhard Karner to suspend all current Syrian asylum applications and to review all cases in which asylum was granted,” the ministry said in a statement.
About 95,000 Syrian citizens were living in Austria at the beginning of 2024, while about 13,000 asylum requests were under consideration as of the end of November, according to official data.
“We will support all Syrians who have found refuge in Austria and want to return to their homeland,” Nehammer said on X on Sunday, adding that the security situation in Syria should be reassessed “in order to make deportations possible again in the future.”
