In response to the terrorist attack in Solingen, the German government has proposed a security package aimed at enhancing national safety.

The package, initially robust, has faced significant opposition and has been notably weakened.

Key measures, such as restricting social benefits for asylum seekers under the Dublin Regulation, have been softened due to resistance from the Green and SPD parties.

The package also includes reforms in weapons law and expanded police powers, including facial recognition and data analysis capabilities.

Despite these changes, the package aims to address migration control and internal security, though critics argue it may be ineffective.

The proposal is set to be discussed in the Bundestag and Bundesrat in the coming weeks.
