Friedrich Merz plans to radically change Germany's migration policy, including mass deportations of migrants and increased border controls.

Future Chancellor of Germany Friedrich Merz intends to radically alter the country's migration policy, including mass deportations of illegal migrants and tighter border controls.

According to German media reports, Friedrich Merz, the leader of the Christian Democratic Union (CDU), who is set to become Chancellor, plans to begin negotiations with neighboring countries such as Poland and Austria even before officially taking office. The goal is to create a so-called "domino effect," where not only Germany but other EU countries will start to refuse to accept migrants and limit asylum applications exclusively to the external borders of the EU.

According to sources from Bild newspaper, Merz’s plan includes actions that Germany could take without coordination with neighboring countries. CDU/CSU parliamentary secretary Thorsten Frei stated that Germany’s security is a priority, and the country is ready to act decisively despite potential conflicts with partners.

The "historic migration package" proposed by the CDU/CSU includes not only an increase in the number of asylum denials but also a suspension of family reunification for migrants with limited protection status. Furthermore, the plan aims to expand police powers to detain individuals with illegal migration status and to resume deportations to Afghanistan.

The growing influence of the far-right party "Alternative for Germany" (AfD), which received about 19% of the votes in the February 23 elections, has led to a revision of migration policies by the main political forces. Political analyst Nikolai Büttner notes that AfD’s pressure is contributing to the radicalization of the rhetoric of leading parties, creating a tense atmosphere among migrants.
