The CDU seeks to expedite deportations by returning asylum seekers at the border with only notification to neighboring countries. The SPD counters with a plan for integration rather than stricter deportations, highlighting the legal concerns and impracticality of forced deportations for approximately 200,000 individuals currently in Germany.

How do differing viewpoints on tax policies, particularly concerning the "Soli" and corporate tax cuts, complicate the coalition talks between the Union and SPD parties?

The "Soli," initially introduced to finance East German reconstruction, now affects only high earners and corporations. A court ruling ordering its abolishment and repayment since 2021 would create a significant financial gap, further complicating coalition talks already strained by disagreements on migration and tax policies. The FDP's lawsuit against the remaining "Soli" adds to the uncertainty.

How does the proposed pension expansion reflect the broader challenges facing Germany's social welfare system and its aging population?
