(DPA) Several German political leaders demanded stricter asylum and immigration policies ahead of a cross-party meeting on migration and security in Berlin on Tuesday.
Chancellor Olaf Scholz announced the gathering after a deadly mass stabbing at a festival in the western German city of Solingen.
The conservative opposition and leaders of Germany’s 16 federal states were invited to Berlin to discuss curbing irregular migration.
Centre-right Christian Democrat (CDU) leaders urged Scholz to enact major changes in response to the attack. Scholz’s junior coalition partner, the free-market liberal Free Democrats (FDP), also joined those calls.
