The interior minister’s statements come two months after 12 of the 16 federal states had to block the intake of additional asylum seekers.
In addition to the FDP, which is a member of the ruling coalition, opposition parties like the CDU, CSU, and AfD have all rejected the interior minister’s radical plan to overhaul the citizenship law.
“The government apparently wants to destroy the German passport. Soon everyone should get it. Foreigners in Germany are thus deprived of a great incentive to integrate. This can become a major threat to the cohesion of our society,” Andrea Lindholz, a lawmaker for the CSU, said in response to the proposal.
French Interior Minister Gérald Darmanin’s exceptionally harsh rhetoric comes amid an escalating war of words between the French and Italian governments.
Deputy Chairman of Germany’s Federal Police Union Manuel Ostermann, who said more than 1,500 illegal migrants are arriving in Germany every day, accused Interior Minister Faeser of concealing the damning data.
The leftist-led interior ministry’s decision has drawn sharp criticism from Germany’s center-Right and Right.
The minister’s ominous statements come after several high level officials in government and business sectors have warned of severe social unrest this winter.
“We want to allow the expulsion of any foreigner found guilty of a serious act … regardless of their condition of presence on the national territory,” Minister Darmanin said.
French policemen have been particularly badly treated for many months. They have been targeted and stoned in the suburbs, accused of violence and racism, all of which generates feelings of frustration, powerlessness, and lack of legitimacy which, for the moment, is not going to disappear.
