In a recent meeting, CDU leader Friedrich Merz urged German Chancellor Olaf Scholz to adopt stricter asylum policies following a deadly attack in Solingen by a rejected Syrian asylum seeker.

Merz proposed a collaborative approach, suggesting that both leaders appoint representatives to swiftly address migration policy changes.

He emphasized the need to curb illegal migration, even suggesting bypassing coalition partners if necessary.

Merz's proposals include reinstating the Dublin Regulation and enhancing border controls, while also considering a national emergency to protect borders.

Scholz, however, remains cautious, stressing adherence to international and EU laws.

The discussion highlights the political tension surrounding Germany's asylum policies.
