Something has to change, and that should give politicians something to think about, because three out of four German citizens demand a fundamentally different refugee policy. This is the result of the current Germany trend. 77% believe it is important that fewer migrants come to Germany, and even among Green Party supporters, almost every second person is calling for a change in asylum policy. The current migration policy is therefore also the main topic at the respective meetings of the Bundestag factions of the SPD, the Greens and the Union. Around a year before the federal election, the traffic light coalition is in worse shape than ever. In the current German trend, only around 16% of those surveyed say they are satisfied with the traffic lights, 84% are dissatisfied. The most important issue for voters is asylum and refugee policy. The majority are in favor of a change, including 65% of SPD voters and almost 50% of Green voters. However, the government and opposition have not yet managed to reach agreement on the issue of asylum. The Union is actually demanding that all refugees be turned back at the German borders. At the parliamentary group's closed meeting in Brandenburg, Friedrich Merz repeated his ultimatum: he expects a decision from the federal government by Tuesday. If the federal government does not feel capable of making a quick decision , then in our view there is no further need for consultation, at least not with us. The SPD parliamentary group also meets in Brandenburg, about 13 km further west . People here reacted indignantly to Merz's ultimatum: “I'm a little surprised that ultimatums are being made among Democrats. An ultimatum is not helpful at all in this situation .” The SPD Interior Minister is currently examining legal options; She calls it that she is open to everything. The Greens in particular do not like the Union's demand for significantly more rejections at the borders; they have legal concerns. “So what's not possible is to continually contribute to the debate with proposals that don't stand up to legal scrutiny or closer inspection at all. We also expect more seriousness from the opposition.” FDP leader Christian Lindner warns the Greens: “I would advise everyone to consult carefully internally and then implement what is legally possible, but also to change German and European law if necessary .” Tightening measures could be introduced in the Bundestag as early as next week.
