The German parliament has rejected a proposal to tighten immigration laws proposed by two conservative Christian Democratic (CDU) and Christian Social (CSU) parties.
Guardian reported: “The bill was rejected by 350 to 338, out of 693 MPs who voted, including five abstentions”.
The German parliament rejected the bill to tighten immigration controls brought by the frontrunner to be the next chancellor, Friedrich Merz, with the backing of the far-right Alternative für Deutschland.
The proposed plan to prevent illegal entry of migrants envisaged permanent control and surveillance at Germany’s borders.
Also, the plan included banning the entry of people without valid documents and detaining migrants who had to leave Germany.
