The FDP will make the migration theme one of its “top priorities” in the election campaign. This was announced by FDP General Secretary Marco Buschmann on Tuesday in Berlin.
“We need consistency and order in migration” he said. This is also a question of the rule of law, the former Justice Minister added. “It’s not about resentments, it’s not about xenophobia, it’s not about people from other countries not being able to make their luck here either.” Germanophilia harms the country, “but just like any other immigration country, our country must have clear rules and they can’t just be on paper only”.
One must talk about migration. Even if one wants to be a “worldly open-minded country” that also knows its humanitarian responsibility, rules and borders must apply. “That’s why migration is also a top priority” Buschmann said.
This also applies in the context of the events in Syria. “German politics must not simply watch Syria like a spectator, but must actually use clever diplomacy to put all levers in motion so that peace, stability, and security can return there.” This is also about the many people who have fled to Germany. One must give them a perspective for their return.
