In a recent ARD talk show, Hendrik Wüst, the Minister President of North Rhine-Westphalia, defended his state's new security package as a balanced response to migration issues.

The package aims to enhance security by strengthening the intelligence services, improving data exchange between authorities, and utilizing artificial intelligence in investigations.

Wüst emphasized the bipartisan support for the measures, highlighting cooperation with the Green Party.

The discussion also touched on the broader challenges of migration in Germany, with Wüst arguing for a pragmatic approach to address public concerns without fueling extremist sentiments.

The show was briefly interrupted by protesters highlighting the deaths of two Kurdish journalists in a Turkish drone strike, underscoring the ongoing tensions surrounding migration and international relations.
