🇩🇪GERMANY TEMPORARILY SUSPENDS UN RESETTLEMENT PROGRAM The pause comes during ongoing coalition talks, with migration emerging as a key point of contention. The CDU/CSU conservatives are pushing for stricter asylum policies in response to rising support for the right-wing AfD and public concerns over refugee-linked violence. A draft agreement between parties calls for ending voluntary federal admissions “wherever possible.” Germany had planned to resettle up to 6,560 refugees this year from countries like Lebanon, Egypt, and Kenya under an EU program.

🚨🇩🇪GERMANY RESTARTS AFGHAN REFUGEE FLIGHTS IN POST ELECTION U-TURN Germany’s back in the Afghan refugee game, landing 155 in Berlin yesterday after a sly election-time pause. The CDU and SPD, fresh off dodging an AfD surge, greenlit the move, with 3,000 more queued up in Islamabad - part of 48,000 taken since 2021, costing taxpayers hundreds of millions. The halt came after brutal attacks by Afghan nationals - like the rampage in Munich, killing 2 and injuring 28, or the Aschaffenburg daycare stabbings that killed a toddler. The Interior Ministry blamed 'logistics,' but critics smell political optics. Ex-Interior Minister Horst Seehofer once admitted some evacuees were rapists and on terror watchlists. Yet, CDU’s Friedrich Merz, once hawkish, now shrugs, 'No one wants closed borders.' Source: ZeroHedge
