Overview
- The Landtag faction approved proposals at its winter caucus to eliminate roughly a quarter of Bavaria’s about 326,000 civil service posts while sparing teacher and police positions.
- It seeks to dissolve the science, environment and digital ministries along with state offices handling energy transition, climate protection or asylum administration.
- A new Asyl-, Fahndungs- und Abschiebegruppe modeled on U.S. ICE is proposed to raise deportation rates and conduct searches for undocumented migrants.
- The platform calls for allowing private companies to carry out deportations, imposing evening curfews on asylum applicants, and reviewing all residence permits and naturalizations with pledged 'remigration' of certain groups.
- The rollout comes ahead of March municipal elections as the party remains under observation by Bavaria’s domestic intelligence agency, with operational details such as staffing for the proposed unit still unspecified.
