Bundestag Debates Asylum and Security Package After Solingen Attack

Following the alleged Islamist knife attack in Solingen, the Bundestag will discuss a comprehensive asylum and security package. The proposed measures include expanded knife bans, reduced benefits for specific refugees, enhanced investigative powers against terrorism, and stricter immigration limits.

The government's 'Sicherheitspaket' also mandates knife prohibitions at large events, more authority for law enforcement, improved deportation processes, and advanced data analysis using biometrics. In response to the attack, individual states like NRW advocate for further discussions on migration policies with the federal government, emphasizing the need for solutions and support for local municipalities.
