Migration policy
Majority for Union migration tightening on the brink
Union Chancellor Merz wants more hardness in migration policy. But the majorities for proposals in his group in the Bundestag are uncertain – at least in part of the plans.
In the dispute over a stricter migration policy, a majority of the Bundestag wobbles for the applications of the Union – despite the announced approval of the AfD. The FDP and the Sahra Wagenknecht alliance now only want to support part of the suggestions. This could lead to the vote of several members of the parliamentary with the vote provided for for Wednesday. The Union Group’s so -called influx limitation law, which is to be coordinated on Friday, want to support AfD, FDP and BSW.
Since an Afghan, who is obliged to leave, with a possibly psychological impairment, stabbed a toddler and a man last Wednesday, the Bundestag election campaign has been primarily about migration. The crime was preceded by a number of other attacks, in which foreigners are also suspected. Union Chancellor Friedrich Merz (CDU) announced plans for harder migration rules. “Compromises are no longer possible on these topics,” emphasized the CDU/CSU parliamentary group leader.
Votes on Wednesday and Friday
On Wednesday, the Bundestag is to vote on two union applications, in which, among other things, a direct rejection of migrants at the German borders and permanent border controls are required. SPD, the Greens and the Left do not want to agree. In addition to the votes of the FDP, which partially supports the advance, the Union would need the votes of the AfD and other MPs.
The alliance Sahra Wagenknecht (BSW) only wants to support part of the Union plans to limit migration. Partic leader Sahra Wagenknecht in Berlin said that they would vote for the so -called influx limitation law. According to the current status, she would “not assume approval” in the five-point plan against irregular migration-but this was still open, added a party spokeswoman. According to Wagenknecht’s words, another request from the Union with 27 points for internal security is “under no circumstances to us approval”.
The FDP is also not behind all Union suggestions. The liberals want to agree to the “influx limitation law” and also the five-point plan for a turn in migration policy, as the parliamentary group decided according to DPA information. The liberals reject the application for a “change of policy in internal security”. “There will be no expansion of the surveillance powers to unsolved citizens,” said parliamentary group leader Christian Dürr before with a view to several fatal attacks by immigrants in the past few months.
BSW considers surveillance of all limits to be impossible
Wagenknecht spoke of a massive expansion of the rights of the constitutional protection, which was associated with the Union applications. In addition, the monitoring of all German borders is not possible, just as little as the detention of 50,000 people who should be deported.
AfD, the FDP and the BSW, want to agree to the Union Group’s so -called inflow limitation law – but this should only be on Friday. Among other things, the new regulation is intended to end family reunification to refugees with limited protection status. If it meets the area of responsibility, the federal police should carry out residence -related measures.
SPD and Greens: Merz not capable of chancellor
SPD and Greens again warned of the plans and doubted Merz ‘ability to go to chancellorship. Green Group leader Katharina Dröge said: “In my view, Friedrich Merz has shown this week what speaks for that he does not become Chancellor of the Federal Republic of Germany.” SPD parliamentary group leader Rolf Mützenich said about Merz: “He literally invited the AfD to raise the hand in the event of considerations that are neither in accordance with European law nor constitutionally.”
Merz: Time for working groups
Merz defended the planned votes on harder migration rules in the Bundestag. “The time for discussions, for working groups and for discussion groups is now over. This is now the time for decisions,” said the parliamentary group leader. He “knew the vast majority of the population in Germany behind us, behind me and behind the Union”.
The Union made the corresponding applications available to the factions of the SPD, Greens and FDP at the weekend, “of course not the AfD,” as Merz emphasized. “We don’t discuss such topics with them.” The FDP had announced that it would join the applications that the Greens had rejected the Union today. “There is no answer from the SPD. No answer is also an answer,” he said.
The AfD parliamentary group decided at a parliamentary group meeting to agree to the planned project of the Union-despite the AfD-critical passages included. Group and party leader Tino Chrupalla said that one would “not fall for such skirmishes” and still agree. He justified this with the content of the applications. These are demands that the AfD has been making for years.
