Mona Neubaur Sparks Controversy Over CDU's Migration Policy Stance

Mona Neubaur Raises Crucial Points on Migration Policy

Stephan Weil, the Prime Minister of Lower Saxony, criticizes CDU Chief Friedrich Merz for withdrawing from discussions aimed at creating a unified migration policy. Weil defines this move as irresponsible, particularly as it hampers progress towards a constructive resolution.

According to Weil, it was Nancy Faeser who laid the groundwork for negotiations with opposition and federal states, proposing a new approach to unauthorized entries. In contrast, the CDU insists on comprehensive deportations at Germany’s borders.

European Legal Obligations

Weil highlights important European judicial rulings that deem blanket deportations unacceptable, stating, 'No one would benefit if a major solution was reached that could be later deemed unlawful by administrative courts.'

Limited Prospects for Future Talks

He expresses skepticism about a potential migration summit involving Chancellor Olaf Scholz, Vice Chancellor Robert Habeck, and Merz, suggesting it is unlikely if Merz remains set in his ways. 'It would be wise for him to reconsider,' Weil stated, 'but that currently seems unrealistic.'
