Border control: CDU rejects cooperation with AfD – “poisoned offer”

Union top candidate Friedrich Merz promises far-reaching asylum law enforcement after the knife attack in Aschaffenburg in the event of a government takeover. “The measure is finally full,” said the CDU leader in Berlin. As a consequence, he demanded significantly more deportations and wants to enforce a “factual ban on entry” for unauthorized persons at all borders. Merz made it clear that this is conditions for possible coalition partners. From the FDP and AfD, signals came to work together with the Union for a Migration Wing of Migration.

Merz said: “We are standing in front of the shards of an asylum and immigration policy misguided in Germany for ten years.” He refers to recognize that acts in Mannheim, Solingen and Magdeburg should be “the new normality” in Mannheim, Solingen and Magdeburg. People should feel safe.

Chancellor Olaf Scholz (SPD) pointed out a course of his government that has already been taken for easier deportation and criticized failures in the implementation. “There are obviously enforcement deficits, especially in this case with the Bavarian authorities who are a big problem,” said Scholz in Erfurt. “Therefore, it must stop now that not everyone does everything that you do not attribute those who cannot stay here.”

However, it is not just about enforcement deficits. “There are laws in the German Bundestag, which can also be decided before the Bundestag election. I am for that,” said Scholz. There are also security laws that failed in the Federal Council on the CDU/CSU. “I say I want these laws to be something.” People who come with well -file are not needed. “Acts have to follow.”

In Aschaffenburg, a two-year-old boy and a 41-year-old man were killed and three people were seriously injured. A 28-year-old is suspicious with Afghan citizenship who was arrested. According to Bavaria’s Interior Minister Joachim Herrmann (CSU), he was obliged to leave.

In the event of his election as Chancellor, Merz announced that it would instruct the Interior Ministry on the first day, to permanently control all borders and to reject all illegal entry. This also applies to people with a right to protect. “There will be a factual ban on entry into the Federal Republic of Germany for everyone who does not have valid entry documents or which make use of European freedom of movement.”

The EU asylum rules are recognizable dysfunctional. “Germany must therefore exercise its right to priority in national law,” said Merz. Border controls can be arranged for a limited period in the Schengen area. Interior Minister Nancy Faeser (SPD) has already implemented and announced this for all national borders to want to extend it beyond March 2025.

Green parliamentary group manager Irene Mihalic said an entry ban on the TV station: “Friedrich Merz knows very well that what he demands is not to be agreed with European law and also with the constitutional law.” Green Chancellor candidate Robert Habeck said: “Everything that promotes security in the country and is in accordance with European law and is on the ground of our Basic Law is a good suggestion.” Some suggestions that he heard from Merz would not have been able to do an objective examination.

Federal Interior Minister Nancy Faeser (SPD) said that one had to clarify whether what Merz announced was permitted. “I would say no.” If promises were not met, trust destroy. Faeser emphasized that the government had “massively exacerbated” laws for the expulsion of violence and for more deportations.

Merz also called for the federal police to apply for arrest warrants. Personal to leave who are taken up should not be released, but would have to be taken in the custody of exit or exit and deported as soon as possible. As in Aschaffenburg, they were dealing with a group of perpetrators, “which obviously runs around in Germany in large numbers in Germany,” said Merz. One wants to end this condition.

The BUND should no longer leave deportations to the countries alone, the CDU boss demands. Deportations and returns would have to “take place daily”, and the number must finally be larger than the number of those who are still illegally travel every day. Any criminals and dangers subject to exit must be able to be taken in permanent arrears.

Merz made it clear that the consequences required should be conditions for a coalition government under his leadership. “It is completely indifferent to me who is going politically,” said Merz. “I’m just saying: I don’t go any other.” If you want to go the way with him, you have to follow these points. “Compromises are no longer possible on these topics.” CSU boss Markus Söder said “zero tolerance, zero compromise” will be guideline of the migration policy of a Union-led government.

FDP boss Christian Lindner said: “Merz announces a radical change of course.” However, he will not be able to implement this with red or green. “For the FDP, a new migration policy is the condition for every government participation.” AfD boss Alice Weidel renewed her request to the Union of working with her party. She called for a Bundestag vote next week about “closing the borders and rejection of more illegal”. CDU and CSU would have to confess color. Merz has repeatedly categorically excluded any collaboration with the AfD.
