Attack in Solingen: Kühnert rejects Merz's proposals on asylum policy

Following the attack in Solingen, Kevin Kühnert rejects Friedrich Merz's proposals on asylum policy. Instead, he emphasizes the need to combat the radicalization of young men.

The government is working on deporting repeat offenders, such as the Syrian suspect. Chancellor Scholz travels to Solingen to pay his respects and discuss the situation with Prime Minister Wüst.

The state government of North Rhine-Westphalia must explain why the repatriation did not work. The suspect had entered the EU via Bulgaria.

The attack has sparked a debate on asylum policy, with CDU and FDP politicians calling for stricter measures. The Union is pushing for an asylum ban for Syrians and Afghans, while the FDP criticizes the lack of action from the federal and state governments.

The Union also demands increased border controls and stricter rules. Meanwhile, the SPD supports the deportation of criminals and Islamist threats to Syria and Afghanistan.

The attack has also raised questions about security measures, with calls for enhanced powers for security agencies. The German Chancellor's visit to Solingen aims to pay tribute to the victims and discuss ways to improve security.
