Manuel Ostermann wrote that a former employee at the Dortmund immigration office is suspected of having manipulated residence permits and travel documents. So far, at least 24 conspicuous cases have come to light, and investigations are underway, he stated. For him, the case raises the fundamental question of whether, in the filling of government positions, only suitability, qualifications, and professional performance should continue to count. Especially in agencies that decide on stays and documents, in his view, neither political nor societal wish criteria should be decisive. Ostermann opposed selection based on skin color, origin, migration history, or quotas and argued that the state must choose the most suitable applicants to gain trust. https://t.co/GwOYtz6jbw #Eignung #Leistung #Vertrauen (translated)
