Overview

  • The CDU/CSU has introduced two proposals and a draft law aimed at tightening migration policies, including permanent border controls and limiting asylum rights.
  • Key proposals include detaining individuals obligated to leave Germany, revoking citizenship for dual nationals convicted of serious crimes, and ending family reunification for certain refugees.
  • The CDU/CSU's draft law, the 'Zustrombegrenzungsgesetz,' is set for a vote on Friday and could pass with support from the FDP, BSW, and AfD, despite legal and ethical concerns.
  • Legal experts have raised doubts about the compatibility of the proposals with German constitutional and EU law, particularly regarding asylum rights and indefinite detentions.
  • The debate has heightened tensions ahead of the Bundestag election, with critics warning of a potential alignment between mainstream and far-right parties to secure a majority.
