CDU plans radical measures against violent crime and extremism!

The CDU has announced that the role of the federal police officer abolish. The Union Chancellor candidate Friedrich Merz commented on this advance after the winter exam of the CDU federal board in Hamburg. As part of this initiative, the party wants to strengthen security and law enforcement authorities to counter the distrust of other political parties.

The Bundestag had decided a year ago to introduce a federal police officer, which led to the election of the SPD MP Grötsch. The core tasks of this position include the processing of complaints about misconduct by the Federal Police, Federal Criminal Police Office and the Bundestag police

new measures to improve security

The CDU also plans to introduce a new danger category for mentally ill violent offenders, which was discussed after the attack on the Christmas market in Magdeburg. This new category is intended to record people with "mixed and unstable motivation" (GIM) who have a high potential for violence. The assassin of Magdeburg, an immigrant from Saudi Arabia, may not be sufficiently known to the security authorities.

The attack led to six deaths and over 200 injuries and heated up the discussion about security measures. The CDU calls for a harder procedure for expulsions and irregular migration. In particular, perpetrators who were legally convicted should lose their right of residence. In the case of serious crimes, the dismissal of German citizenship in the event of double nationality should also be possible.

In addition, the Union representatives want to improve the equipment of the security authorities and emphasize that data protection must not be misused for the protection of perpetrators. Internet providers should therefore be obliged to store IP addresses for at least three months in order to better counteract sexualized child abuse and terrorist attacks.

The discussion is reinforced by Linnemann's statements, which demands that "law and order must be enforced in Germany". In addition, the CDU speaks for more video protection and the use of facial recognition software at train stations and in trains.

A comment in the taz addresses the complexity of the actors behind these incidents, especially the person al-abdulmohsen. It is questioned whether there can be better forecasts in diffuse people like him and point out the risk of classifying these ideologized people as right -wing extremists without taking into account other motives. The discussion about suitable measures in the data protection context has now become very complex.

The decision on the CDU's Agenda 2030 on economic policy, which also includes proposals for a tax reform, is parallel to the current security policy considerations.
