Germany is taking decisive measures to limit the influx of refugees. The government intends to reduce the annual number of asylum applications to 100,000. This step is part of a radical shift in the country’s migration policy, which includes mass deportations and the suspension of the family reunification program.

Friedrich Merz, the future Chancellor of Germany, advocates for a sharp reduction in the number of new asylum applications. He emphasized:
“This should not be a six-figure number”
. The politician stressed the need to limit applications to less than 100,000 per year.
Merz also confirmed the new government’s intention to intensify the process of deporting refugees and to suspend efforts for family reunification, as outlined in the coalition agreement. Additionally, he expressed readiness to “forcefully deny” asylum at the German border.
Currently, negotiations are ongoing with neighboring countries, including Austria, regarding these innovations.
