Outgoing German Foreign Minister to Use Last Days in Office to Fly In Afghan Migrants

Germany’s outgoing far-left foreign minister has been accused of ignoring the will of the public by using her last weeks in office to ship planeloads of more people from Afghanistan and Pakistan into the country.

Minister of Foreign Affairs Annalena Baerbock, one of the top Green party politicians in the country, has organised three charter flights to transport Afghans and Pakistanis to Germany throughout the remainder of the month, broadcaster NTV reports.

The move comes despite the German public overwhelmingly rejecting the left-wing “traffic light” government of the Social Democrats (SPD), the Greens, and the Free Democrats in the February federal elections.

Baerbock and the rest of Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s government are expected to be removed from office early next month when the likely government of Christian Democrat Union (CDU) leader Friedrich Merz, who ran on a hardline approach to immigration, is set to come to power.

The move to import more migrants in Germany by Baerbock’s office has been criticised as ignoring the will of the German voter.

The Interior Minister for the German state of Saxony, Armin Schuster, said: “Political decency requires an executive federal government to exercise moderation and not to intensify what the new federal government is known not to stand for.”
