Internal Struggles and Divergent Visions in German Politics

The German political landscape is currently marked by significant internal conflicts and divergent visions, particularly within the Ampel coalition and the Union. The CDU leader Friedrich Merz calls for the rejection of all asylum seekers at the borders, a stance that has sparked division not only between parties but also within them.

The FDP shows an unusual alignment with the CDU's hard stance on migration, despite internal disagreements. Meanwhile, the Greens continue to struggle with their migration policy, torn between Merkel’s legacy and the current demands for stricter controls.

This internal strife is visible in their hesitant support for border controls and reluctance to reject Dublin refugees, despite public opinion favoring stricter measures. Brandenburg’s Ministerpräsident Dietmar Woidke also advocates for the rejection of asylum seekers entering through safe third countries, while Chancellor Olaf Scholz supports expanded border controls to limit irregular migration.

These multifaceted debates underscore a broader issue: a lack of visionary leadership. The focus on dystopian warnings and stringent demands, especially regarding migration, threatens societal cohesion and risks bolstering populist movements like the AfD.

For a more united future, German politics needs to shift towards constructing positive, visionary narratives that can bridge these divides.
