“rule of injustice” – that was in the refugee crisis is a harsh allegation against the Federal government. The then Minister of the interior, holds him for more than completely covered. Now he presents a settlement in the form of a book.

Berlin – It is a book, the history book rewrite. A year after his retirement from the Federal government, the former Minister of the interior Thomas de Maizière (CDU) declared for the first time, in detail, why he has in September 2015, against the rejection of asylum seekers at the border to Austria to be decided. The charge of the successor to Horst Seehofer (CSU), the open borders constituted a “rule of injustice”, and referred to it in his Monday published book with the title “Governance” (Herder Verlag) as “ehrabschneidend”.

De Maizière sees responsibility in Bavarian municipalities

to allow The inner politicians of the Union’s controversial decision, all asylum seekers without identity verification, immigration, justifies de Maizière, among other things, with concerns of the Bavarian local politicians. “Especially the local political leaders in Bavaria refused a registration in the border area, and insisted that the refugees without registration, which will take place in each case 30 to 45 minutes, to be immediately distributed. Otherwise, you will not be able to control the situation,“ he writes.

This will be forgotten today, if the circumstances would, in hindsight, criticized. However, Not all remember. “The majority of the CSU-district administrators is not safe,” says one who has lived through this time of difficult decisions at the time, up close and personal. The Deggendorf district administrator Christian Bernreiter (CSU) even says: “Actually, you should not comment on every nonsense – but on the other hand you have to put up a fight.” It is in Bavaria, had been a local politician, at whose instigation, a registration system had been introduced – after a week-long concerns of Berlin.

Sharp criticism at the Federal police

De Maizière writes: “A consistent rejection would also have been possible only at the cost of very ugly images, such as police officers, refugees, including women and children with protection shields and rubber batons on crossing the border to Germany stop.”

German Federal police chief Dieter Romann held at that time. In the meanwhile, fiscal rigidity and the protection of the Constitution President Hans-Georg Maaßen, expressed due to the lack of testing security concerns. Both de Maizière is not mentioned by name, the dissent already. “A rejection would only work if they are followed by Austria and the other States in route to the Balkans immediately or at least within a few days, would decide. The leadership of the Federal police. But none of it was coordinated, prepared, or sure.“

September, all for a border closing and the controls of Europe. De Maizière did not dare then, the command to sign. “From the ,exception’ of the opening of the border a month-long state of emergency,” writes Alexander.

The Act of the Bavarian policy of the Journalist describes anders as de Maizière, but with a trenchant review: “It is the great irony of the refugee crisis: The CSU has thus been taken over, the months of waiting in vain against the policy of open borders, with the Bavarian administration, the condition to ensure that it works at all for so long.”
