German chancellor candidate, CDU leader Friedrich Merz plans to introduce an entry ban for illegal migrants. This was reported by Bild on Thursday, January 23. Merz intends to give orders to the Ministry of the Interior on his first day as chancellor, including on turning away illegal immigrants at the borders. After the Aschaffenburg incident, Merz spoke of “totally unrestrained brutality” in Germany, which he was not prepared to accept. Merz added that he intends to prevent “attempts at illegal entry without exception” - that is, the entry of those persons who are entitled to protection. Although this is contrary to European norms, Germany, he said, should “exercise its right to priority of national legislation.”. The politician plans to allow into the country only those who want to enter legally, that is, they can present a passport, identity card and, if necessary, a visa. At the same time, the federal police should be able to issue arrest warrants for migrants. The candidate also noted that he would not make any compromises with potential coalition partners on this issue.. Earlier it was reported that German Chancellor Olaf Scholz and the heads of state governments agreed that from 2024 social benefits for all refugees would be reduced. German Finance Minister Christian Lindner said on the social network X that this will not only ease the financial situation of the states and communes, but will also “weaken the attractive power of the welfare state for migrants.”.
