The conservative Heimatunion in the CDU in Saxony is backing Union Chancellor candidate Friedrich Merz in his call for a tougher migration policy. It is good that Merz and General Secretary Carsten Linnemann have struck a "liberating blow" and freed the CDU "from being held hostage by the SPD and Greens", explained the head of the Heimatunion, Sven Eppinger.
He was referring to statements made by both parties to stick to Bundestag motions for a tougher migration policy despite harsh criticism from the SPD and Greens, even if the AfD were to agree. "What is right in the matter does not become wrong because the wrong people agree," Merz said. In the corresponding votes, it is up to the SPD, the Greens and the FDP to prevent "majorities that none of us want".
