The number of expelled migrants will be more than 240% in 2016.
From Germany deported a record number of migrants, announced Peter Altmaier, head of the administration of German Chancellor Angela Merkel.
In an interview with Bild am Sonntag, he said that of the 700 thousand requests for asylum filed in 2016, about 300 thousand were not satisfied.
In 2016, the official said, Germany deported about 80 thousand workers.
Observers note that this decision was made in order to attract voters at the election of the Chancellor in September, because Merkel’s policy towards migrants is not popular among the population.
