Dr. Volker Kronenberg analyzes the recent decision in the Bundestag to tighten asylum policy. He describes the vote as "memorable" because, for the first time, the Union relied on the support of the AfD to push through their proposal. Kronenberg points out that while the Union is addressing the public’s call for action, it has been unable to find a stable majority for significant changes in the political center. This situation creates a dilemma: the move may strengthen the Union in the short term but could politically isolate them in the long run. The impact on the upcoming elections remains unclear, but it is evident that a clear political divide exists in the country.

Volker Kronenberg, a political scientist, assesses the recent vote in the Bundestag on asylum policy as problematic. The CDU/CSU passed their proposal to tighten asylum laws by securing the support of the AfD for the first time. Kronenberg sees this move as risky, as it exposes the political dilemma of the Union: While they are responding to growing public dissatisfaction, there is a lack of sustainable majorities in the political center. The impact on upcoming elections remains unclear, but the political divide is likely to persist.
