(de-news.net) – The Free Democrats have suggested bringing the content of the “Influx Limitation Act,” which failed in the Bundestag, back to a vote as part of the SPD and Green-supported reform of the European asylum system. FDP Chairman Christian Dürr expressed in a letter to Union, SPD, and Greens that it is feasible to pass the compromise before the federal election, emphasizing the need for a solution from the democratic center, avoiding populists and radicals as winners.

FDP leader Christian Lindner proposed temporarily suspending family reunification for those with subsidiary protection as a compromise and renewing the mediation offer, indicating the FDP would support laws from times of the past coalition if sensible elements of the Union’s legislation were included. Lindner noted that the Greens, who prefer expanding rather than suspending family reunification, must decide whether they are willing to compromise to weaken the AfD’s influence or strengthen it. The “Influx Limitation Act” was previously rejected by the Bundestag despite AfD’s approval, with opposition from SPD, Greens, and some Union and FDP members.

Meanwhile, the Greens signaled willingness to negotiate migration policy with the Union parties, emphasizing European rather than national approaches and refusing to negotiate under pressure. They require the Union to exclude seeking majorities with AfD, in uncertain cases.
