(de-news.net) – Chancellor Merz’s black-and-red Cabinet has introduced additional measures aimed at facilitating the deportation of a greater number of migrants. Moving forward, the Federal Government is expected to enact legislation designating certain states as safe countries of origin.

Such legislative initiatives require the approval of the Bundesrat. Historically, the Bundesrat has often obstructed comparable proposals, particularly when member states governed by coalitions including the Green Party and The Left were involved. In line with the positions of the Christian Democratic Union (CDU/CSU) and the Social Democratic Party (SPD), the countries proposed for designation as safe countries of origin include Algeria, Morocco, and Tunisia.
