Migration has been one of the major topics during the European election campaign that far-right and mainstream parties have been exploiting in order to garner votes from Europeans who have felt disgruntled by millions of new arrivals looking for refuge from wars, hunger, climate change or just trying to build up a better future for themselves.
However, the chancellor said in his speech that his government was already working on solutions to enable the deportation of convicted Afghans to Afghanistan’s neighboring countries. There have been discussion in Germany about allowing deportations to Syria again. “The time of warnings and condemnations, of denials and announcements, that time is now over,” said Friedrich Merz, the opposition leader from the conservative Christian Democrats. “People expect us to act. They expect decisions.”
