The politician plans to allow entry into the country only to those who wish to enter legally, meaning they can present a passport, identification card and, if necessary, a visa.
German chancellor candidate and CDU leader Friedrich Merz plans to introduce an entry ban for illegal migrants. Bild reported this on Thursday, January 23.
Merz aims to give orders to the Ministry of the Interior on his first day as chancellor, including turning away illegal immigrants at the borders.
After the Aschaffenburg incident, Merz spoke of the “absolutely unrestrained brutality” in Germany, which he was unwilling to accept.
Merz added that he aims to prevent “attempts at illegal entry without exception” – that is, the entry of people entitled to protection. Although this is contrary to European standards, Germany, he said, must “exercise its right to the priority of national law.”
The politician plans to allow entry into the country only to those who wish to enter legally, meaning they can present a passport, identification card and, if necessary, a visa. At the same time, the federal police should be able to issue arrest warrants for migrants.
The candidate also noted that he will not make any compromises with potential coalition partners on this issue.
It was previously reported that German Chancellor Olaf Scholz and the heads of state governments have agreed that from 2024 social benefits for all refugees will be reduced.
German Finance Minister Christian Lindner said on social network X that this would not only ease the financial situation of states and communities, but also “weaken the attractive power of the welfare state for migrants. “
