The German SPD is embroiled in a heated debate over a proposed security package, with Juso leader Philipp Türmer accusing Chancellor Olaf Scholz of intimidating critics.
The package, introduced after several fatal knife attacks, aims to tighten asylum, residency, and weapons laws, granting more powers to security agencies.
Türmer argues that the measures unfairly target refugees instead of addressing Islamist threats, causing a rightward shift in discourse.
He urges SPD members to reject the package, criticizing Scholz's deportation policies as misguided.
The amendments are set for a vote in the Bundestag and Bundesrat this week.
