Germany will continue pushbacks of asylum seekers at its borders, said home affairs minister #Dobrindt. A court in Berlin had ordered otherwise, but only for three asylum seekers from Somalia. A general binding ruling for all cases is still far down the road. #migrants https://t.co/yNK7bd2e4u

After the murder of two Israelis in Washington D.C. - one of them with a German citizenship - Germany’s home affairs minister Alexander #Dobrindt is contemplating to deport more antisemitic foreign criminals and increase protection for Jews in Germany. https://t.co/po0F3wJiNR

Politically motivated #crime on the rise in Germany warned home affairs minister Alexander #Dobrindt (CSU). 84172 crimes registered in 2024. (Record high) Antisemitism also on the rise, said Dobrindt. Majority of crimes with far right motives. More far right youth groups active. https://t.co/Joud4XM2TJ

Tighter border controls in Germany cause traffic jams, for example in Frankfurt/Oder. Will inspecting a few cars deter asylum seekers? The new government promised an „Asylwende“, a turnaround. Is this part of it? I did not see anyone actually being turned away. https://t.co/hAmDmhvlv3

New German government appointed: 17 ministers + Chancellor Merz. „You have great tasks ahead“, said President Steinmeier. Germans should complain less, focus more on their strength, said Steinmeier at Bellevue Palace. Merz needed an unprecedented second vote to get into office. https://t.co/95EXW1Rg75

With a „slight delay“ said German President Steinmeier when he appointed new Chancellor #Merz after the 6 hour long voting drama in Parliament. Merz won a majority only in a second vote, a first in German history. #Bellevue #Berlin https://t.co/E5GlhOdqTB

‚Germany is back‘ said Bavarian state premier Markus Söder. The upper house of German parliament will clear an unprecedented amount of debt to be invested in defence and infrastructure. The new German government can spent an additional one trillion € over the next 12 years. https://t.co/eZcYFXYgZ7

#FDP party convention: Lead candidate Christian Lindner said, he wants to stop the rise of far right AfD by solving problems, not by protests or demonstrations. #Germany needs new economic policies, said Lindner.

„Alles lässt sich ändern“ Everthing can be changed is the slogan at the #FDP party conference in #Potsdam. The biggest change ahead? The liberals could get kicked out of parliament in two weeks. #electionGermany https://t.co/cLMk78vo2q
