  • I had the same doubts when I saw the first reports, but this image then cleared things up for me, so I happily share the discovery :) Thank you for posting in English for everyone, it’s important for the European citizen to know what’s going on.

    The request has 5 points:

    • Permament controls at the borders of the German Federal Republic (using the emergency provision of the Schengen Borders Code), de facto ending the free movement of European Citizens;
    • Blocking the access to the country to anyone not possessing adequate documentation (making it near impossible to come and request asylum);
    • Immediate sequestration of anyone required to leave the German soil, ordering the creation of special detention camps to keep up with the induced demand;
    • Request of active participation of the Bundesländer (regions) with information regarding the financing and support to create detention camps;
    • Tightening of the right of residence for offenders and dangerous persons: Offenders and dangerous persons who are obliged to leave the country should remain in an indefinite detention until they return to their home country voluntarily or their deportation can be carried out.

  • for the sake of precision, what was voted isn’t a law, it’s a decision compelling the government to act on its migration policy.

    But since the Democrat/Green government is on its way out and the current trend would place the conservative and the radical right at the top of the ballots, it might as well be interpreted as such.

    Translation of the text in the picture:

    Would the request be binding?

    No. Requests are not laws. They have little legal force. The Bundestag is merely calling on the Federal Government to take action on the issue of migration. Whether it does so is up to it.
