All major German parties are going to overhaul EU immigration policy, but they no longer agree on how that will happen, as it turns out. uractive From his article on Tuesday, in which the portal summarized the answers it received to its questions for the German parties.
The party coalition of the Christian Democratic Union, the Bavarian Christian Social Union (CDU/CSU), the German Social Democratic Party (SPD), the Greens and the Left and the liberal German Free Democratic Party (FDP) also support the European Commission’s charter. About asylum and immigration. Moreover, it would give Brussels a stronger mandate on immigration policy.

The distribution of asylum seekers among EU member states is acceptable to all interviewed parties. (The anti-immigration Alternative for Germany party, Alternative for Germany, was excluded from the list.)

Euractiv draws attention to the fact that different positions on migration policy are also reflected in how the German parties deal with the situation in Afghanistan.
According to CDU/CSU, a new perspective should be brought to the people, especially in the countries neighboring Afghanistan, i.e. the host countries in the region should be supported. The Christian Democratic Alliance wants to avoid a repeat of the migration crisis in 2015, and is therefore ready to negotiate with the Taliban to ensure that the new Afghan leaders keep their promises.
