New approach for migration policy: traffic light coalition is looking for cooperation with the CDU
In the middle of the increasing challenges of migration policy, the traffic light coalition is taking a new path. After the discussions about the Solingen attack have flared up again, the government parties have decided to bundle their strength with the CDU. Above all, this seems to be a sign of political reason, but arouses concern about the direction in which migration policy could develop.
The CDU chairman Friedrich Merz took this opportunity to raise clear and often controversial demands. Among other things, he calls for a general stop for the inclusion of refugees from Afghanistan and Syria. This requirement is not only problematic, since it implies potentially racist undertones, but could also be legally contestable because it questions the right to asylum. However, Merz sees opportunities to adapt the constitution according to his ideas to achieve his goals.
Another part of his plan refers to the consistent deportation of delinquent refugees and the rejection of people who want to enter the border irregularly. These strategies are almost identical to the positions that are also propagated by the AfD. The concept of "remigration" that occurs in their programs describes similar concepts, but often with a more aggressive rhetoric.
The discussion about these topics has far -reaching effects on society, in particular on the perception of migrants and refugees. The willingness of the traffic light coalition to orientate itself in its migration policy at the CDU could continue to polarize the social climate. The question of why a government coalition, which was legitimized by the votes of 2021, accepts these reactionary approaches, remains like a shadow about the negotiations.
The agreement on migration policy is not only a political maneuver, but also has an essential impact on the life of people who are under the protection of asylum law. The EU member states and their obligations to international protection standards must also be taken into account. The coming months will be crucial to see whether this movement leads to a serious re-evaluation of migration issues or whether the traffic light coalition will only take another step in an increasingly restrictive direction.
The long -term importance of this discussion cannot be underestimated. It shows how migration and the associated challenges determine the political agenda and which human rights could be in danger. The dialogue urgently needs to be maintained in order to guarantee a decent use of migrants.
In the near future it will be shown how the political landscape in Germany reacts to these developments and which solutions can be developed for a humane migration policy. The pressure on the traffic light coalition, both the public and the political competitors, will increase, and it remains to be seen how it will meet these challenges.
