Friedrich Merz, the leader of Germany's conservative CDU/CSU alliance, has pledged to enhance border controls and escalate deportations if elected chancellor. His remarks follow a tragic knife attack in Aschaffenburg, perpetrated by an Afghan man with a troubled history. Merz argues against current EU asylum policies, proposing a tougher stance that includes a ban on entry for those without valid documents and calling for increased migrant detention facilities. He has emphasized the need for permanent border controls due to rising violence, which has influenced support for far-right parties in Germany.
Friedrich Merz vowed to strengthen border controls and deport illegal immigrants, responding to violent attacks in Germany and criticism of EU migration laws.
Merz stated that all illegal immigrants, including those seeking protection, should be turned back at the border, expressing a need for stricter immigration policies.
