In Germany and Europe, asylum seekers are the most disadvantaged and oppressed group of people. Several refugee activists have already gone on hunger and thirst strikes in recent years to draw attention to their catastrophic living conditions. That's why we have to stand up for them, if necessary with civil disobedience! Although they are entitled to it according to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the refugees are denied their basic rights and a dignified life. Even under German law, asylum seekers could be granted the right to stay if the political will was there. Paragraph 23 of the Residence Act expressly allows the state authorities to issue a residence permit to "certain groups of foreigners" if there are international law or humanitarian reasons for doing so. Chancellor Merkel recently announced that it would be unchristian to take in "too many" refugees. In doing so, it turns a blind eye to Europe's historical, economic and political responsibilities. Because the countries of the so-called 'Third World' are being bombed by NATO or ruined by economic exploitation, while the burdens of the centuries-old colonial policy are additionally blocking the progress of these states. Germany is also the third largest arms exporter in the world and the western armaments industry makes enormous profits from wars and military conflicts in the so-called 'Third World'. In addition, the neo-colonial Western and especially German economic and agricultural policy contributes significantly to that mainly African farmers become impoverished due to agricultural subsidies and import restrictions. As a result, they often have no choice but to flee. Therefore, western countries like Germany are jointly responsible for the streams of refugees that are in front of the borders. Germany is the economically strongest country in Europe, but takes in less than one refugee per 1,000 inhabitants. This puts Germany in 10th place within the EU! At least 23,000 people have died since 2000 because they failed to get to the shores of Italy, Greece or Spain. Now the Italian Navy has also announced that it is withdrawing from the Libyan coast, where it has so far rescued up to 150,000 refugees in distress. The fences of "Fortress Europe" are stretched ever higher, while Germany is successfully isolating itself from the refugees through a restrictive asylum policy and third-country regulations and thus evading responsibility. Refugees in Germany lead an unworthy life. They are exposed to constant discrimination in that they are not guaranteed freedom of movement (keyword “residence obligation”), no right to work and education, no adequate medical care, etc. With this in mind, we show solidarity with the asylum seekers and support their demands for: – a stop to all deportations; – Permanent recognition of residence; – Repeal of the Dublin II treaties.
