A German politician, Christoph de Vries, a member of the Christian Democratic Union in the German Bundestag, has claimed the right for the Union to occupy the Ministry of the Interior.
The reason for this claim is the decision of the German government to resume the entry of people from Afghanistan, which de Vries considers a compelling argument for the Union to take over the Ministry of the Interior in the new legislative period in order to achieve a fundamental course change in migration policy.
The expert on the interior affairs of the Union’s Bundestag faction also demanded that all voluntary admission programs must be “immediately discontinued.” He referred to the deadly attacks in Mannheim, Aschaffenburg and Munich, in which the suspects are Afghans and the associated wish of the majority of citizens for a new asylum policy.
On Tuesday, a charter flight from Pakistan landed in Berlin with 155 Afghans on board. De Vries called it an “unprecedented event” the entry of Afghan nationals “for electoral reasons” initially suspended and now continued after the Bundestag election. “Whoever acts in this way loses the trust of the citizens and damages the credibility of the Federal Ministry of the Interior” he said.
