German Chancellor Angela Merkel’s decision not to apply European
Union rules in her handling of the region’s refugee crisis violates
German laws, said a Bavarian state minister whose party is allied with
Merkel nationally.
“The German federal government is clearly overstepping its
constitutional competencies at present,” Bavarian Interior Minister
Joachim Herrmann said Wednesday on ZDF public television. “It is not in
the power of the federal government to just override and no longer apply
existing European and German law.”
The EU agreement requires refugees to be registered in the countries
where they apply for asylum and allows bloc members to send back those
that have been registered elsewhere. Germany can no longer take the
9,000-10,000 asylum seekers entering the country per day in violation of
those rules, Herrmann said. "
