SVP Landammann Jean-Pierre Gallati on immigration: “Otherwise the system will collapse”

The canton of Aargau is “above the limit” when it comes to the reception, financing and integration of asylum seekers. This is what Landammann Jean-Pierre Gallati says in an interview with “Switzerland in the Weekend”. This is evident from the case surrounding the federal asylum center in Brugg AG, which is currently being discussed. Residents apparently no longer feel safe.

“In fact, crime has increased, especially shoplifting and car burglaries. “These were mainly asylum seekers from other cantons,” said the SVP politician. But that doesn’t make it any better. “And residents also cause problems in the federal asylum center itself. A large part of them are people who are forced to leave the country and who do not have much to lose.” Gallati would welcome “closed internment camps” for those who have become criminals.

Gallati hopes for Beat Jans

About the EU, which is tightening its refugee policy – asylum procedures outside Europe are on the table – Gallati says: ‘Of course, refugees also continue to come to us during procedures outside Europe, for example after their asylum application has been approved. . It remains to be seen whether such a new regime will defuse the refugee problem.”

Be that as it may, European countries should develop a strategy to curb immigration. Unless? “Otherwise the system will collapse.” The EU is tightening the asylum screws with the reform of the “Common European Asylum System” (CEAS). The reform should be approved by all authorities before the European elections in June 2024.

He expects that the new Minister of Asylum Beat Jans (SP) will work closely with the cantons. Fortunately, as a former president of the government, he knows their problems. (uro)
