Urgent application: Federal requirements for municipalities are financially inferior

The government factions of the CSU and FREIE WÄHLER have submitted an urgent motion to the Bavarian state parliament. In it they refer, among other things, to the fatal knife attack in Solingen, but the demands for expanded security powers are much more far-reaching and partly independent of the crime. The parliamentary groups are calling on the state government to reduce illegal migration, significantly increase deportations and push forward a comprehensive reform of asylum and migration law at the federal level. Authorities for rejections at the border and the establishment of central federal exit centers should also be decided. Further demands of the application relate to strengthening the exchange of information between security authorities and increasing the speed of reaction and national coordination in security policy issues. In addition, concrete measures in the area of ​​cybersecurity and to protect social media from instrumentalization are named. In public spaces, the parliamentary groups are calling for the collection of biometric data via facial recognition and the aggressive use of modern technologies such as AI to combat crime. The motion was accepted with 90 yes votes from the government parties. 46 MPs voted no. There were 24 abstentions from the Alliance 90/The Greens faction. Steffen Vogler (CSU) and Andreas Hanna-Krahl (Alliance 90/The Greens) voted against the emergency motion. Further emergency motions regarding the attack in Aschaffenburg were voted on by name in the Bavarian state parliament. These can be found here.
