Germany’s conservative Christian Social Union (CSU) has called for a sharp tightening of migration policy, including large-scale deportations of Syrians starting in 2026, reports the European Conservative.

In the party's program document, it is stated that the Syrian civil war has ended and that the country is now entering a reconstruction phase. As a result, the party says, the protection grounds for most Syrian migrants in Germany no longer apply.

The CSU is demanding a nationwide “deportation offensive with scheduled flights,” explicitly including returns to Syria and Afghanistan. To facilitate this, the party wants federal departure centres established across Germany and faster enforcement of removals, including against the will of those affected.

Criminal offenders, the paper states, should be deported without exception. It also proposes that migrants who travel back to their country of origin for holidays should automatically lose their protection status, on the grounds that such trips undermine claims of personal danger.

Politicians have called for a tougher stance on Ukrainian refugees and emphasized that "able-bodied men in particular should contribute to defending their country".

German conservatives have also proposed introducing criminal liability "public advocacy of an Islamic theocracy".

Earlier, the UOJ wrote that Montenegro is concerned about the rapid migration of Muslims from Turkey.
