Pro Asyl has accused the CDU and CSU of radicalizing their stance on asylum and ignoring fundamental rights to appeal to right-wing voters. Wiebke Judith from Pro Asyl expressed concern over the erosion of human rights principles, particularly regarding the CSU’s proposed ‘security plan’ that would refuse asylum seekers at the border, violating international law. CDU leader Friedrich Merz called for stricter measures against criminal asylum seekers, suggesting changes to dual citizenship laws. Meanwhile, discussions on the fate of Syrian refugees in Germany continue, emphasizing the importance of work for residency.
