How do the differing viewpoints of the CDU/CSU and SPD on asylum policy affect Germany's approach to managing migration?

The decrease in asylum applications in Germany aligns with a broader European trend; the EU, Norway, and Switzerland experienced a 12% overall drop in 2024. This reduction is partly attributed to agreements with countries like Tunisia and Libya, which have reduced migrant arrivals to Italy by nearly 60%. However, these agreements have faced criticism due to human rights concerns.
