Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania: FDP: Refugee summit pointless without willingness from the state

Schwerin (dpa/mv) - Without the state's willingness to do more, the FDP parliamentary group in Schwerin believes that the refugee summit called for by the CDU has no prospect of success. "We don't think the path of another summit is appropriate. There must be an open and targeted exchange at eye level - and with the participation of Parliament," said parliamentary group leader René Domke on Wednesday in Schwerin.

Franz-Robert Liskow from the CDU had called for a refugee summit in the country on Tuesday. "The number of refugees is constantly high, our municipalities have long since reached the limits of what is feasible," stated the CDU state and parliamentary group leader. The federal refugee summit last week had no tangible results.

The FDP had previously requested an expert discussion in the state parliament's interior committee. Now Domke followed up with the demand for a special session, as time was short. The FDP parliamentary group leader sharply criticized the responsible interior minister, Christian Level (SPD): "An interior minister who goes to a federal summit without concrete ideas and who afterwards praises the results of this summit because the problems have been identified and working groups have been formed has the The seriousness of the situation was not recognized."
