There are already applicants

They are also supposedly contributed by former employees of the department or by other citizens who want to contribute to face the current situation.

“I hope more people show up,” expected E. Gudzinskait esperaba. – This is a historic event. It would be a good experience to take a closer look. There are people of different nationalities, with different experiences ”.

More staff, he said, would allow for more efficient and faster processing of asylum applications.

So far, asylum applications are being processed by 8 people, so accepting as many new ones as requested would increase their number eight times.

To date, 132 requests for arrivals have been processed with a recent influx of migrants, none of which have been granted.

The requests, according to the interlocutor, are “fictitious, simple and unconvincing”.

Most immigrants do not seek refuge in Lithuania, but move to live elsewhere, usually Germany.

“We maintain a certain standard of quality,” said E. Gudzinskaitė, when asked if applications are not rejected due to lack of people. – Now it is not perfectly high, but it is still listened to, a detailed survey is carried out, it is allowed to expose the circumstances. We don’t want to drop the quality card, so it takes longer to process. “

Ask for an increase in forces

According to data from Tuesday, this year to Lithuania from Belarus tried to enter illegally 2,158 people.

This is more than 26 times the number recorded in the entire 2020s.

In July alone, border guards detained 1,497 migrants.

Many of them were quick to apply for asylum, because otherwise the Penal Code provides for criminal responsibility for such actions.

Recent Portal 15 minutes Eglė Samuchovaitė, project director of the Lithuanian Red Cross, emphasized that in the current situation the state needs to comprehensively increase its resources, including human resources, in the Migration Department.

“Resources are being wasted on border protection itself, but it’s not just important,” he added. said the interlocutor. – When people apply for asylum, there are surveys: the capacity of the Migration Department must be increased immediately.

There is a bottleneck here that can automatically lead to an increase in the number of people with unresolved situations as the procedures take longer. “

According to E.Samuchovaitė, specialists must be recruited and trained in the department.

“It is not easy to deal with asylum cases.” Both the surveys and the translators, all of these things need to be ensured, regardless of how the case is handled, urgent or not, “he said.
