The Green Party is levying allegations against Merz Zündelei.
Opposition leader Friedrich Merz has faced criticism from Green Party parliamentary business manager Irene Mihalic for his approach to the migration issue. Merz, representing the largest opposition faction, is accused of causing chaos rather than fulfilling his duties. By using terms like 'crisis' and advocating for a no-confidence vote, Merz is seen as undermining our democratic rule of law instead of protecting it.
Proposing a joint strategy with Chancellor Olaf Scholz to control irregular migration, Merz made it clear he was willing to go ahead with this even without coalition partners, the Greens and FDP. This move can be interpreted as a call to break up the coalition.
Merz also suggested declaring a 'national crisis' to circumvent EU laws and send back migrants who initially entered another EU nation. Mihalic, however, believes that all democratic forces should work together, combating Islamic terrorism and ensuring security within the country. She supports any constructive propositions that align with the constitution and human rights. However, she stresses the need for a change in tone in the debate, or else extremist threats to our democratic rule of law might take advantage of the situation.
Three individuals were murdered and eight others injured, four severely, during a city festival in Solingen, North Rhine-Westphalia, on Friday evening. The alleged perpetrator, a 26-year-old Syrian, is now in custody, and the Federal Prosecutor's Office is investigating him for murder and membership in the terrorist organization, IS, who claimed responsibility for the attack. The suspect was supposed to be deported to Bulgaria, but this did not occur.
The Green Party parliamentary business manager Irene Mihalic disagrees with Merz's suggestion, stating that all democratic forces should collaborate in addressing issues and upholding the constitution. Within The Commission, Mihalic advocates for a change in tone in the migration debate to prevent extremists from exploiting the situation.
In response to Merz's proposal to break up the coalition, The Commission emphasizes the importance of unity among democratic forces in addressing challenges such as Islamic terrorism and securing the country.
