Recent polling indicates slight increases in support for the SPD and Greens, while the FDP remains at risk of exclusion from the Bundestag with only 4.5% support.

As the 2025 Bundestag elections approach, the political climate in Germany is intensifying, with various parties proposing new initiatives to address migration policy.

Christian Dürr of the FDP has called for political parties to demonstrate their ability to reach middle-ground solutions to prevent the rise of populism and radicalism in migration policy.

In a bid to unify migration policy discussions, the FDP is proposing a new 'Migrationspakt der Mitte' that aims to involve the Social Democratic Party (SPD), Union, and Greens.

CDU leader Friedrich Merz has emphasized that there will be no collaboration with the Alternative for Germany (AfD), citing the need for a stable government following the elections.

Hesse's Prime Minister Boris Rhein defended Merz's stance in the Bundestag, asserting that voters can now discern which parties are genuinely committed to limiting illegal migration.

Chancellor Olaf Scholz criticized proposals that would deny long-term residents the right to reunite with their families, suggesting such laws would likely be rejected by the Federal Constitutional Court.

Green Chancellor candidate Robert Habeck has introduced a ten-point plan addressing migration issues alongside broader security measures, indicating a proactive approach to the upcoming elections.

The Free Democratic Party (FDP) is advocating for a 'Migration Pact of the Center' to integrate a rejected influx limitation law into the reform of the European Asylum System.

Despite controversies surrounding the Union's collaboration with the AfD, recent polls show the Union maintaining a steady 30% support.

The Union's proposed influx limitation law failed in the Bundestag, facing opposition from the SPD and Greens due to constitutional concerns, particularly regarding family reunification.

The FDP plans to finalize its migration proposal in a special session of the Interior Committee, aiming for a vote in the Bundestag on February 11, 2025.
