The recent Interior Ministers' conference in Brandenburg highlighted significant divisions between Germany's SPD and CDU-led states over migration policy.

CDU officials, including Brandenburg's Interior Minister Michael Stübgen, criticized the SPD for not supporting measures like expanding the list of safe countries and border rejections.

Meanwhile, SPD's Federal Interior Minister Nancy Faeser emphasized the reduction in asylum applications and increased deportations, arguing against what she termed "sham debates.

" Despite some progress, such as deportations to Afghanistan, the conference ended without a consensus, reflecting ongoing tensions in Germany's approach to migration.
