AfD's Stance on Asylum Seekers and Ukraine Aid Sparks Controversy

Following the Solingen knife attack by a Syrian, the AfD in Brandenburg advocates banning asylum seekers, recognized refugees, and Ukrainian war refugees from public events. They propose revoking protection for asylum seekers visiting their home countries and imposing a Brandenburg border police force.

However, their stance faces opposition from other parties. In elections in Saxony and Thuringia, foreign policy, particularly regarding Ukraine, becomes a crucial issue.

The AfD and the Sahra Wagenknecht Alliance call for ending aid to Ukraine, benefiting from the shifting sentiments. Amid the Solingen attack, a Forsa poll reveals 60% of Germans rejecting political haste, with differences between Western and Eastern regions.

The incident reignites debates on deportations, especially concerning the suspect's protection status. The AfD's controversial claims on migrant-related crime and EU's influence undergo scrutiny.
