- Restricting the flow considerably, according to Merz.
"CDU head Friedrich Merz pushes for prompt actions on a tougher immigration policy before the impending migration conference between the national administration and regional authorities. "The key issue here is: immigration needs to be substantially decreased" Merz stated at a CDU gathering in Osnabrück.**
"If we don't reach an accord tomorrow, then more discussions are unnecessary," Merz expressed regarding the planned get-together. There's been plenty of roundtable meetings and sensitivity training sessions. "Decisions are what's required now."
The Federal Parliament could enact concrete legislation by the following week, Merz proposed to the traffic light coalition. Crucial actions would involve "empowering border rejections until we install a functional system for refugee acceptance and allocation across the EU."
Merz underlined that he does not desire to prolong the immigration debate into 2025. "I have no aim for this to become the central matter in the 2025 federal election campaign," shared the Union parliamentary group leader. "I think it would be advantageous if we, as the political heart of our nation, can handle this issue collectively."
Following the alleged Islamic knife assault with three fatalities in Solingen, the federal government unveiled a set of new security steps and declared meetings between the federal and state governments on the matter.
The European Union and its Member States should collaborate closely to implement Merz's proposed border control enhancements for effective refugee management. Merz's tougher immigration policy proposals need the support of the European Union and its Member States to be successfully executed.
