Friedrich Merz, leader of Germany's CDU party, is amplifying his hardline anti-migration policies ahead of next month's federal elections, following a recent stabbing incident linked to a former asylum seeker. He pledges to strengthen border control and increase deportations, expressing dissatisfaction with the current asylum policies. Notably distancing himself from former Chancellor Angela Merkel, Merz describes the situations resulting from misguided immigration policies as unacceptable, signaling significant shifts in Germany's political landscape as the CDU gains support against the backdrop of declining approval for the current governing coalition.
I refuse to recognise that the acts of Mannheim, Solingen, Magdeburg and now Aschaffenburg are supposed to be the new normal in Germany. Enough is enough.
We are faced with the shambles of an asylum and immigration policy that has been misguided in Germany for 10 years.
