Migration Policy Fuels Tensions Across German Political Landscape

Debates over migration reform deepen divides among parties as Bundestag elections approach.

  • The Bundestag has seen contentious debates over migration, with the CDU/CSU's proposals gaining AfD support, sparking criticism from other parties.
  • The FDP has proposed a 'Migrationspakt der Mitte' to reconcile migration policy differences among democratic parties, but SPD and Greens remain skeptical.
  • Sahra Wagenknecht's BSW party faces scrutiny for its migration stance, which overlaps with AfD and CDU positions, as it seeks to surpass the 5% threshold in polls.
  • Robert Habeck's migration reform plan has caused internal rifts within the Green Party, with criticism from its youth wing over perceived concessions to right-wing narratives.
  • Recent polls show stable support for the AfD and CDU, while smaller parties like the BSW and Linke hover near the critical 5% mark for Bundestag entry.
