As coalition negotiations between the CDU and SPD continue in Berlin, Saxony-Anhalt's Prime Minister Reiner Haseloff has urged the SPD to reconsider its approach to migration policy. He emphasized the growing dissatisfaction among voters, particularly in eastern Germany, regarding the handling of the influx of migrants.
Haseloff explained that many individuals who voted for the AfD in the last federal elections did so out of a belief that the current administration's management of the refugee situation is inadequate. He pointed out the necessity for policies that would allow for the immediate rejection of individuals who do not qualify for asylum while ensuring that those permitted to remain in Germany are integrated efficiently.
Addressing the SPD, Haseloff insisted that the party must align its policies more closely with the sentiments of the electorate, particularly in the east, where he noted a significant shift away from centrist politics. He argued that even among SPD supporters, there is a desire for a change in migration policy and a functioning government.
In his remarks, Haseloff called for a comprehensive strategy aimed at reducing illegal migration, which he believes should include stricter border controls and the elimination of incentives that draw migrants to Germany. He proposed adjustments to the current social benefits system, advocating for a separation of the citizen income to ensure that refugees without a right to stay receive only basic asylum support rather than full welfare benefits.
The ongoing discussions between the CDU and SPD are critical as they work towards forming a stable government coalition. Migration policy remains a contentious issue that could shape the future of their partnership. As negotiations progress, both parties will need to navigate these complex challenges to address the concerns of their constituents while ensuring effective governance.
