Bosbach Criticizes Political Correctness on Security

Published: 2024-08-27

In a recent episode of the German talk show "Hart aber fair," CDU veteran Wolfgang Bosbach criticized the political handling of security issues, particularly in the context of the recent Solingen attack.

Bosbach argued that political correctness is leading to a loss of public trust, emphasizing the need for stricter deportation policies.

The discussion, which included various political figures, highlighted differing views on the effectiveness of current security measures and the role of political correctness.

SPD's Sebastian Fiedler called for enhanced powers for security agencies, while Bosbach stressed the importance of addressing the root causes of violence among young men from certain regions.

The debate also touched on the implications of the attack for upcoming elections in Thuringia and Saxony, with concerns about the influence of the AfD and the lack of political presence in rural areas.
