Olga Gulina, an expert at the Institute for Migration Policy (Berlin), writes about this in RBC, noting that the events of recent days (the shooting of visitors to a shopping center in Munich, a suicide bombing at a music show in Ansbach, an attack on passengers of a regional train in Würzburg, the murder of passers-by in Reutlingen) German media called it “Week of Fear”.
“We find ourselves in the “Axial Age,” where even the front pages of newspapers cannot keep up with the evil, fear and terrifying violence creeping out from everywhere,” the author notes, predicting that the events of the past week will not pass without a trace, despite the reassuring statements of the German authorities that Germany will remain a rule-of-law state and will not allow “general suspicion towards refugees.”
“Today it is obvious that a long-planned audit of all humanitarian migrants who have arrived in the country will be carried out - both those who have already received asylum and those whose applications are being considered,” the expert writes. – Back in March of this year, Germany made big changes to the procedure for granting asylum, tightened deportation and abolished the “catalogue” of circumstances that do not allow the deportation of a foreigner from the country. Persons about whom the authorized bodies have doubts will be deported regardless of their status or lack of documents. To combat the facts of “loss of identifying documents,” a new crime may be introduced into the German criminal code - concealment of personal identification (Identitätsverschleierung).”
“Supporters of quick measures should not expect a quick closure of borders and a change in the country’s foreign policy. Although, undoubtedly, an echo of today’s tragedies will be the results of the 2017 parliamentary elections, when right-wing parties promoting anti-immigration and anti-European slogans will certainly remind the electorate of the foreign origin of the madmen in Baden-Württenberg, the shooter in Munich and the suicide bomber in Ansbach,” sums up Gulina.
