After the sit-down between Olaf Scholz and Friedrich Merz, it's outlined that more dialogues between the administration and the opposition are upcoming. Anticipatedly, Federal Interior Minister Lisa Faeser will be extending invites for this session shortly. As the Federal Chancellor mentioned, "We won't press on to the next topic; we'll learn from this."
Federal Interior Minister Lisa Faeser is scheduled to invite state officials and Union representatives to private discussions about the aftermath of the Solingen incident immediately. This was disclosed by Federal Chancellor Olaf Scholz.
"We won't advance to the next agenda item; we'll learn," the SPD politician remarked post-meeting with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer in Berlin. The federal government had previously implemented measures, which yielded results. Regrettably, the rate of unlawful immigration hasn't decreased significantly, as Scholz wished, he noted further. Consequently, the federal government is looking into legislative measures, such as firearms regulations and residency-related measures.
"It's a promising sign when the main opposition party proposes collaboration," Scholz stated about the proposal from CDU leader Friedrich Merz. It's crucial to determine why the suspected assailant from Solingen still remained within German borders, despite being due for deportation to Bulgaria for quite some time.
The federal government is planning to discuss the aftermath of the knife attack in Solingen during the private meetings convened by Federal Interior Minister Lisa Faeser. This announcement was made following the meeting between Olaf Scholz and Friedrich Merz, where Scholz mentioned the necessity of learning from each situation.
