The situation in Syria is currently developing very dynamically – and has long since become an issue in the German election campaign . CDU chairman Friedrich Merz has now called for a halt to the admission of refugees from Syria in view of the fall of the ruler Bashar al-Assad . “In any case, it is right not to accept any more refugees from Syria now,” he said on the ARD program “Report from Berlin.”
“Because those who come could also have been members of Assad’s militias and we have no use for them in Germany ,” said the CDU politician. Merz repeated his demand that people should be turned away at the German border.
