Jun 6, 2024, 07:39 AM

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz has announced plans to tighten the country's deportation rules following recent attacks. Scholz stated that the new regulations would make the glorification of terrorist offenses and condoning terrorism grounds for deportation. The move comes amid a heated migration debate in Germany, particularly ahead of the upcoming EU elections. Scholz also emphasized that migrants who commit serious crimes will be sent back to their homelands, including Afghanistan and Syria. This decision follows revelations that a recent attacker was a failed asylum seeker. Scholz vowed to fight a surge of political ‘terror’ in Germany.
