Union demands rejection of refugees at borders

The Union continues to insist on directly rejecting refugees at the German borders, citing a need for a significant reduction in migration to Germany. The CDU/CSU parliamentary manager, Thorsten Frei, defended the ultimatum issued by CDU leader Friedrich Merz, stating that there are substantial challenges in migration and security in the country.

Frei argued that unilateral rejections at the borders would not endanger European cooperation, but rather lead to better European regulations. He emphasized that the current Dublin rules, which require refugees to be registered and have their asylum process in the first country of entry, are not being followed by many European states.

The Union's demand for a change in migration policy aims to undermine radicalism and reject any potential collaboration with the far-right AfD party.

Citizens Call for Change in Asylum and Refugee Policy

A recent survey shows that 77% of Germans want a fundamentally different asylum and refugee policy to reduce immigration. This sentiment is particularly strong among supporters of the AfD, BSW, and CDU/CSU, while SPD supporters are divided and Green supporters have mixed views. In addition to migration and flight, other important issues for citizens include the economy, social injustice, environmental and climate protection, education, and internal security. When it comes to combating crime and asylum and refugee policy, citizens see the most competence in the Union. The study also reveals that a majority of Germans still feel safe in public spaces after the Solingen attack, but the number of people feeling unsafe has increased. The rise of the AfD has led many people, particularly those with a migration background, to consider leaving their state or even emigrating. The DIW president warns of the economic consequences for East Germany and calls for investments in education and infrastructure. FDP leader Lindner expresses openness to border rejections, criticizes the Greens, and warns that all parties could lose if they fail to offer a solution to migration. The FDP also calls for more return and expulsion of refugees, while the CDU/CSU wants permanent border controls.

Rumors of Left Party defectors to BSW are denied. The Green politicians are considering not running for positions again. FDP leader Kemmerich rules out another federal election candidacy. The parties are united in their rejection of an AfD state parliament president. The situation in Thuringia and Sachsen has caused a division within the CDU, with some members opposing alliances with BSW. The Union is also pressuring the government to make decisions on migrant issues, while the government examines the possibility of turning away migrants at the German borders. The SPD is facing internal discontent after recent election losses. The K-Frage continues to be a topic of discussion within the CDU/CSU, with Söder gaining popularity as a potential candidate.
