Berlin (dpa) – The declaration by the Federal Minister of the Interior Horst Seehofer ( CSU ) ends in the asylum dispute of the parties of the Union in the view of the Greens will not last.
"The CDU and the CSU have concluded a fragile truce that does nothing to help," said the head of the Greens' parliamentary group, Anton Hofreiter, the "Saarbrücker Zeitung" (Monday). The party leader, Robert Habeck, had stated during the summer interview of the ARD program "Report from Berlin" that the CSU was in the conflict in an "authoritarian direction". "It will not work with (Chancellor and CDU President Angela) Merkel, so it's basically about overthrowing Merkel and they'll try again."
Seehofer had already declared the dispute with Merkel on the policy of asylum settled. At the height of the conflict, he threatened to resign from his position as Minister of the Interior. The trade union community and the Chancellery of Merkel were in danger. Seehofer had threatened to order the rejection of some migrants at the border against the wishes of the Chancellor. It was likely that Merkel would have returned – she was in favor of a European solution.
Hofreiter told the "Saarbrücker Zeitung" that Seehofer in particular has lost all credibility in recent weeks. The conflict was the purest stimulus program for right-wing populists. In an Emnid poll for the "Bild am Sonntag", the AfD rose by three points in a week to reach the record high of 17%. For the first time, he is as strong as the SPD, who has given way to two points. CDU / CSU lost two points to 30 percent.
Co-leader of Hofreiter in the faction, Katrin-Göring Eckardt, wrote in a guest contribution for the "Welt" (Monday): "The new sound CSU sounds more like AfD than Christian-Social- conservative. " In the "new world" of Bavarian Prime Minister Markus Söder (CSU), it was "only fear and defense". But the left-wing world and the liberal world must also self-criticize: "Have we underestimated, in recent years, the discomfort of the consequences of globalization and the accelerated life of many people? Political rights in the United States and Europe have benefited from this "flaw" and have given simple cultural responses to "complex social problems".
The Union conflict was inflamed over the original version of the so-called "Master Plan Migration" of Seehofer. The minister wants to introduce it this Tuesday. Following a compromise between the CDU, CSU and SPD only asylum seekers who have already applied for asylum in another EU country must be rejected at the German border. -European – and only on the basis of agreements with the countries of first entry and with Austria, which have yet to be negotiated. The success of such agreements is uncertain.
The executive director of the SPD parliamentary group, Carsten Schneider, told the "Welt" (Monday): "It would be good for Mr. Seehofer to stop hitting proverbs and start doing his job as federal minister of the 39; Interior ". This includes the preparation and conclusion of bilateral agreements with Italy and Austria. "He must deliver now." Thursday, Seehofer wishes to give advice on the sidelines of the meeting of EU Ministers of the Interior in Innsbruck with his colleagues Matteo Salvini of Italy and Herbert Kickl of Austria. The two right-wing populists see German plans up to now skeptical.
Due to the Conference of Ministers of the Interior, Austria will carry out entry checks at some important border posts from 9 to 13 July, including the German-Austrian junction near Kiefersfelden / Kufstein and Brenner on the border with Italy. Border controls served as "security and order", as the authorities explained. "We are looking for potential disrupters, not especially migrants," said a spokesman for the police.
Development Minister Gerd Müller (CSU) told the "Passauer Neue Presse" (Monday) about the internal dispute at the EU: "The choice of words and language is something we all need to The last four weeks have not been a model in political communication. "That cost a lot of credit to the citizens.
Federal President Frank-Walter Steinmeier had previously lamented a brutalization of the language in the conflict. Asked about the term "asylum tourism" used by Söder, he said on ZDF that government parties should also "pay attention to language". Söder means people who want to first ask for asylum in another EU country and then in Germany.
Similar to Steinmeier, the president of the Bundestag faction of the Union, Volker Kauder, commented. The "Rhein-Neckar-Zeitung" (Monday) said the politician CDU: "Our political culture, our discussions have been poisoned step by step in recent years.The humus for development are of course above all else statements from the AfD and People who spread the slogans on the Internet, in social media and in newspapers. "
Vera Bentele, leader of the VdK, called on the parties not to neglect the discussions on social issues before the debate on refugee policy . "Retirement, care and housing are much more important issues that we need to discuss much more intensely than those still defined by CSU and AfD.
", she told the" Augsburger Allgemeine "(Monday).
