The German Bundestag has become a battleground over migration policy, with Chancellor Olaf Scholz and CDU leader Friedrich Merz at the forefront of heated debates.
The CDU has proposed a three-month trial of border rejections to curb illegal immigration, a move criticized by the Greens as impractical and divisive.
Scholz and Merz exchanged sharp words, each accusing the other of incompetence.
The failed migration summit has led to blame-shifting between the CDU and the government, with Interior Minister Nancy Faeser urging continued dialogue.
Despite the tensions, there is a call for a bipartisan approach to address the migration issue, as both sides recognize the need for a unified solution.
