FOCUS online Commentary by Wolfram Weimer: While migration is tearing the country apart, the red-green coalition is hypocritically building the firewall 4 hours • 3 minutes reading time Friedrich Merz wants immediate and drastic measures against illegal migration. While red-green politicians are criticizing him heavily for this, he has the support of the vast majority of Germans. According to a survey by the opinion research institute Insa, 66 percent of those surveyed - two thirds - support Merz's proposal for a "de facto entry ban" for all people without valid entry documents. Only 19 percent reject the plan. CDU leader Merz wants turnaround program Merz is putting pressure on and wants to bring his turnaround program - under the impression of the recent attack in Aschaffenburg - directly to the Bundestag before the new elections. He is now being criticized particularly loudly from the left for tearing down the firewall to the AfD and making common cause with the right-wing populists. The outcry against Merz seems like a red-green election campaign maneuver to distract from their own incompetence. The failure of the traffic light government in the migration crisis has damaged Germany's internal security, torn and divided the country internally. As a result of this policy, the political fringes have become stronger than ever before in the history of the Federal Republic.
