Correct me if I’m wrong, I’d like to see if I’m understanding the German political debate correctly.
Among other things, Seehofer (and the CSU aka Baverian “conservatives”) want to stop migrants registered in other EU countries as asylum-seekers at the German border.
Merkel & CDU pals are in favor of the “European solution” (whatever that is). They favor some sort of entry for those asylum-seekers registered in other EU countries.
Have I got this part of the debate straight?
This is somewhat correct. Seehofer has forty things on this list, and I doubt that the public has seen more than half of the items.
Add to this, there is an agreement on the books, well over 20 years, which says where you land...is where you declare asylum. Seehofer wants to enforce what already exists.
