Conservatives call for further tightening of migration policy in Germany
"A draft resolution by Bavaria's conservative CSU party calls for a "major deportation offensive" in 2026, including scheduled flights to Syria and Afghanistan, according to reports on Friday. The Christian Social Union (CSU) - a conservative political party based in Bavaria and a key player in Germany's federal parliament - is advocating for a significant tightening of the country's migration policies."
"The CSU argues that the civil war in Syria has ended, the country is now undergoing reconstruction and Germany is supporting this process. As a result, the party claims that most Syrians who were granted temporary residence in Germany due to the war no longer have grounds for protection and are needed back in their homeland."
"For those who do not leave voluntarily, the CSU insists that repatriation should be initiated as quickly as possible. The group also emphasises that criminals should be deported as a priority. Furthermore, the draft states that any refugee who takes a vacation in their home country should "automatically lose their protection status in the future, because such actions contradict their claimed need for protection.""
CSU calls for a major deportation offensive in 2026 including scheduled flights to Syria and Afghanistan. The party seeks rapid return of most Syrian refugees, arguing that the civil war has ended and reconstruction, supported by Germany, removes grounds for temporary protection. CSU demands quick repatriation for those who do not leave voluntarily and prioritises deporting criminals. The party proposes that refugees who vacation in their home country should automatically lose protection status, calling such travel inconsistent with claimed need for protection. CSU also urges a tougher approach to Ukrainian refugees, insisting men fit for military service should contribute to Ukraine's defence.
