Explainer-Court blow to Germany's new government on asylum: what happens now?

BERLIN (Reuters) -A court ruling that Germany could not simply return to Poland three asylum seekers who entered the country in May dealt a blow to the signature migration policy of Chancellor Friedrich Merz's new government: turning illegal migrants back at the borders. Police in May sent back to Poland three Somalis who crossed Germany's eastern border by train and requested asylum.

The German Constitutional Court's recent ruling has significantly impacted the German government's climate and transformation fund, declaring the transfer of 60 billion euros from a pandemic-era fund to the climate fund as unconstitutional. This decision has led to a shortfall in the climate fund, prompting the government to consider reallocating funds from other budgets or seeking new borrowing, though the latter is complicated by Germany's debt brake rule. The ruling has sparked political controversy, with the opposition criticizing the government's financial management, and it has raised concerns about the funding of key climate and industrial projects, such as subsidies for Intel's chip plant and renewable energy initiatives. The government is now under pressure to find a solution before the 2024 budget is finalized, amidst ongoing debates about fiscal responsibility and environmental commitments.
