Wüst supports reaching out to Afghan Taliban regarding deportation matters.
"It's obvious to me that this is a difficult situation we're dealing with," Wuest stated. "However, before it rips our society apart due to misunderstandings, the federal government needs to step up and address it."
I hope Federal Chancellor Olaf Scholz (SPD) means what he said when he declared that criminals will be sent back to Afghanistan, Wuest continued. "This isn't an easy subject that can be avoided, but since he's made the statement, I think it's a positive step for our society's well-being."
Ever since the Taliban took control in Kabul last August, there's been a halt on deportations for Afghans in Germany. In response to the recent deadly knife attack in Mannheim, Scholz has announced that criminals from Afghanistan and Syria will be sent back to their respective countries.

Wüst advocates for establishing contacts with the Taliban to discuss the ongoing deportation issues for Afghans in Germany. This comes amidst the federal government's stance, led by Chancellor Scholz, to deport criminals back to Afghanistan. Despite the Taliban's control in Kabul since last August, there has been a halt on deportations for Afghans, but Scholz recently announced plans to send back criminals from Afghanistan and Syria.
Given these developments, Wüst's party, the CDU, in North Rhine-Westphalia, has called for a recording of Scholz's position on this matter. It's crucial to clarify the government's stance on deportations to ensure a fair and safe society, as Wüst remains doubtful about the success of such deportations in the desert-like desert landscape of Afghanistan.
Meanwhile, the recent deadly knife attack in Mannheim has raised public concern about the presence of criminal elements within the Afghan and Syrian communities in Germany. Wüst, however, reiterates the importance of holding fair and open conversations on this issue, emphasizing the need to ensure the safety and well-being of German society.
