Jens Spahn pushes his proposal to postpone the adoption of the UN Migrationspakts, to criticism. What looks like Germany could withdraw his consent, but it seems to be one thing: the election campaign bluster.
The Outcry in the case of the Union parties CDU and CSU was great; you are in the middle in a direction of the debate on the topic of Migration. “Nonsense,” “weak leadership”, “scaremongering” – so commented Jens come Spahns senior Union colleagues Daniel Günther (Prime Minister of Schleswig-Holstein, CDU), Norbert Röttgen (Chairman of External Committee, CDU) and Gerd Müller (Federal Minister of development, CSU) the initiative of the Minister of health. Had suggested at the weekend that for the 10./11. December discuss in the Moroccan Marrakech planned adoption of the UN Migrationspakts a few days before the CDU party Congress once again to move the German “OK” if necessary.
Shaking Germany’s commitment to the migration Pact?
Mind you: move. To want to of, terminate, had not spoken to the candidate for the CDU presidency. Thus, he speaks not, in principle, the attitude of the Federal government, which supports the migration Pact is clear. Rather, Spahn wants to encourage, to give more time for discussion with the public, so that is not the impression “that we want to hide something, and the Pact’s harm to us,” says the 38-Year-old.
Background of Spahns concerns is likely to be that many right – wing criticize the party in the whole of Europe – including the German AfD, the migration Pact sniper in him even an incentive for potential migrants to make on the way to Europe. Spahn himself with his political course, to right-wing populism with similar theses combat, long the subject of criticism, especially in the case of party friends. So Spahn had already been proposed in the past, for example, a Burka ban or Islamic law.
Party Chairman election casts shadow
That Spahn is jumping now back to the emotionally-charged issue of Migration, may not be entirely due to chance, but with precisely the CDU party Congress on 7./8. To do December, on which he would like to discuss the UN-migration Pact again. Because of Spahn’s not just going to Discuss to Hamburg, but, he hopes, especially, to become the new CDU Chairman and thus as successor to Angela Merkel as party leader. The Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer, and Friedrich Merz want to, however. All the more important for the youngest applicants ums, the highest party office web, to make a name for themselves.
Whether moved or not: the fact is that the migration Pact, the UN will not be legally binding. Nevertheless, among other things, the USA, Austria, Hungary, Poland and the Czech Republic of the negotiated Pact, the departed, fear of interference in national sovereignty – in the same vein, the AfD fails. That Spahn is his foray successful, and the migration Pact is actually made in Hamburg once again to the vote, but at the moment, especially in the case of this intra-party against the wind, more than questionable.
