Service worker persistently tapping on edges of "friendly environment" expectation
Following the knife attack in Solingen, the head of the Alliance for Progress and Renewal (BSW), Sahra Wagenknecht, urged Chancellor Olaf Scholz to shift away from his refugee policy. She suggested that Scholz should publicly announce an endpoint to the welcoming culture, stating that Germany can't handle it anymore. "Don't come here!", she exclaimed.
In the wake of the suspected Islamist attack, Wagenknecht proposed a change in refugee policy and laid out a six-point plan. This includes resignation of Federal Interior Minister Nancy Faeser from the SPD. Wagenknecht also reiterated her requests to cut off social benefits for rejected asylum seekers after a brief transition period. However, the German Federal Constitutional Court has set strict boundaries on reducing benefits for asylum seekers, as per several rulings.
Other aspects of Wagenknecht's plan include enforcing deportations that have been ordered, revoking residence permits or halting asylum procedures for individuals on "home leave", handling asylum applications in third countries outside the EU, and halting development aid to nations that fail to take back their citizens.
Wagenknecht, known for her firm stance on migration policy, has been championing this viewpoint ever since her departure from The Left party last fall. She commended Denmark's refugee policy as a benchmark.
After the knife attack in Solingen, Wagenknecht called for a change in Germany's refugee policy, emphasizing the need for an end to the welcoming culture due to the country's limited capacity. In line with her proposal, Wagenknecht suggested that the Federal Interior Minister Nancy Faeser should resign from the SPD.
