CSU Pushes Stricter Migration Policies and Expanded Social Reforms in 'Bayern-Agenda'

The CSU's new platform includes demands for tougher asylum laws, changes to citizenship rules, and broader benefits for families and taxpayers, diverging from the CDU's joint election program.

• The CSU's 'Bayern-Agenda' proposes stricter migration policies, including ending individual asylum claims and tying residency to self-sufficient income.
• The platform calls for immediate deportation of foreign nationals convicted of crimes and limits on family reunifications for certain asylum seekers.
• The party seeks to extend citizenship eligibility to eight years, requiring good integration, no criminal record, and financial independence.
• Other proposals include expanding pension credits for mothers with pre-1992-born children and reforming Germany's financial equalization system to reduce Bavarian contributions.
• The CSU also advocates revisiting nuclear energy options and lowering taxes for beverages in the hospitality sector.
