FDP Proposes 'Migration Pact of the Center' to Revive Stalled Policies
The proposal aims to unite Germany's main parties around migration reform after recent parliamentary turmoil and controversial votes.
- The FDP has introduced a 'Migration Pact of the Center' to reconcile the SPD, Greens, and CDU on migration reform following the Bundestag's rejection of the Union's migration bill.
- The proposal suggests merging elements of the failed migration limitation law with the European Asylum System reform to create a unified legislative package.
- Controversy erupted last week as the CDU's migration plan gained a non-binding majority in parliament with AfD votes, drawing criticism from other parties.
- Green candidate Robert Habeck has presented a ten-point plan emphasizing security and humane migration policies, rejecting cooperation with right-wing extremists.
- The Bundestag could vote on the FDP's proposed package as early as February 11, pending expedited discussions in the Interior Committee.
