FDP Pushes for Stricter Migration Policies with New Nine-Point Plan

The proposal aims to reduce support for deportable asylum seekers and expand the list of safe countries, putting pressure on coalition partners.

The FDP's nine-point plan calls for reducing benefits for asylum seekers who are required to leave Germany to basic necessities like food, shelter, and hygiene.
The proposal includes expanding the list of safe countries, which could lead to faster rejection of asylum applications from those nations.
The initiative has sparked tension within the coalition, with the SPD cautioning against a harsh tone that could empower right-wing factions.
The plan mirrors some policies from CDU-Green governed states, increasing pressure on the Green Party at the federal level.
Critics, including the AfD and some legal experts, argue that the proposed benefit cuts could face significant legal challenges.
