Germany's CDU/CSU bloc, led by candidate Merz, plans to implement a tougher immigration stance post-election, focusing on rejecting undocumented migrants at borders and enhancing border controls. Following exploratory talks with the SPD, the parties are preparing for coalition negotiations and are reacting to public concerns over immigration fueled by recent violent incidents attributed to asylum seekers. Merz aims to counter the rise of the far-right AfD party by reversing previous welcoming policies, including the suspension of family reunifications for certain migrants.
"We want to take all constitutional measures to reduce irregular migration overall," Merz stated, emphasizing a shift towards stricter immigration policies in Germany under potential new governance.
"In coordination with our European neighbours, we will reject asylum applications at the common borders," Merz announced, signaling a coordinated European approach towards undocumented migrants and asylum seekers.
