Germany Reconsiders Immigration Laws Amid Conservative Criticism
ai generated text
Recent events in Germany have sparked calls for stricter immigration laws. Following a knife attack in Aschaffenburg that left two people dead, the center-right bloc led by the Christian Democrats (CDU) has called for tougher immigration laws. CDU leader Friedrich Merz has proposed a five-point plan to curb irregular migration, which includes unspecified measures.
This is truly a historic moment … Mr Merz, you helped bring it about and now you stand here with shaking knees, trembling and apologising.
I want to repeat … that I'm not looking for any other majority other than in the democratic centre of our parliament.
I think it is wrong to no longer feel bound by this proposal and thereby knowingly allow the AfD to gain a majority in a vote in the German Bundestag on 29 January 2025 for the first time.
She clearly has the impression that she has to remind Friedrich Merz of his political responsibility.
Since the founding of the Federal Republic of Germany over 75 years ago, there has always been a clear consensus among all democrats in our parliaments: we do not make common cause with the far right.
European law stipulates that people must first be allowed to enter the country.
And then we will have to sit down in Brussels very quickly and ask ourselves how we can fundamentally reorganize European asylum law.
