After the terrorist attack in Solingen, the federal government quickly presented a security package. This is now available as a draft law. The Federal Minister of Justice is calling for rapid consultations.

The traffic light coalition has agreed on the details of the so-called security package and presented its factions with drafting assistance for a bill. “We are making deportations easier, social benefits for Dublin cases are being cut and refugees’ home leave leads to the loss of protection status,” said Federal Justice Minister Marco Buschmann (FDP). “It is now in the hands of parliament to get all of this underway quickly.”

Buschmann believes that the draft law could be discussed as early as next week. “I continue to advocate for a high speed,” he said.

As a consequence of the terrorist attack in Solingen, which left three people dead and eight injured, the federal government agreed at the end of August on new measures to protect against Islamist terror, against irregular migration and to tighten gun laws. These have now been put into a draft law. It was sent to the parliamentary groups as a draft law, which they usually adopt as their own draft law and introduce in the Bundestag.

“In the last few days we have been working at full speed to quickly implement the measures in the security package,” said Buschmann. “It was a lot of hard work. But it was worth it.”
