Dispute over migration policy: Union and AfD shape the Bundestag!

As part of the current migration policy in the Bundestag, MPs from the Rhein-Sieg-Bonn region have expressed their voting behavior. This was particularly focused on collaboration with the AfD in an application from the Union faction. The members of the Bundestag Nicole Westig (FDP), Elisabeth Winkelmeier-Becker and Norbert Röttgen (both CDU) voted together with the AfD. href = "https://www.ksta.de/region/rhein-sieg-bonn/migrationpolitikrhein-sieg-Verdemord-ihr-ihr-Vunstungen-im- Bundesag-953637"> Kölner Stadt-Anzeiger reports that the increase in votes was then unnecessary via Facebook And did not contribute to solving the problems. She also made it clear that there was no agreements or cooperation with the AfD.

These coordination behavior come against the background of increased political pressure. According to the CDU chairman Friedrich Merz, CDU and CSU try to position themselves through applications for migration policy. Among other things, applications require a general rejection of asylum seekers at the German borders and the permanent detention of persons subject to departure who cannot be deported , as Deutschlandfunk explains .

positions within the parties

While Winkelmeier-Becker supports a ban on the AfD at the Federal Constitutional Court, Nicole critically critically commented. She considers a ban to be unclear, as this can further radicalize the AfD supporters. Your approval for the application should be a signal for a fundamental change in migration policy. However, Westig also pointed out that they are skeptical about some points of the application, in particular the idea of ​​permanent border controls.

Norbert Röttgen, who also voted for the application, did not give a statement on his voting behavior. In contrast, Sebastian Hartmann (SPD) is criticized because he did not sign the application for the ban on the AfD. These different positions within the political groups illustrate how deep disagreements in migration policy are.

The role of the AfD and the current political dynamics

The AfD announced that the Union applications for migration support, although it also contains critical passages. Some of its members, such as Tino Chrupalla, even accuse the Union of "copying" AfD positions. The applications are not legally binding, but they send clear signals to the Federal Government , according to Tagesschau.

On Friday, the Bundestag will vote on the "Controm limitation Act", which provides for stricter rules for family reunification and gives the security authorities more skills. CDU/CSU, FDP and the AfD together have more than 50 percent of the votes in the Bundestag, which illustrates their influence on migration policy. The pressure on the federal government is growing to tighten its asylum and security measures.

In the middle of these heated debates, the question arises as to how the political landscape will develop in Germany and whether the proposals of the Union faction actually achieve the desired effect, especially with regard to immigration and public security.
