Brandenburg’s Prime Minister Dietmar Woidke (SPD) will meet with district administrators and mayors on Friday in the State Chancellery in Potsdam for migration consultations. The conference has also caused discontent and criticism. CDU parliamentary group leader and top candidate Jan Redmann said with a view to the upcoming state election in around two weeks: “A district administrators’ conference must not be an election campaign show.” District administrators are the wrong target group. The Green Party’s top candidate Benjamin Raschke criticized: “Nothing can be achieved with hectic actionism and hasty decisions in a competition to outdo one another.”
Woidke, Interior Minister Michael Stübgen (CDU) and the leading municipal associations want to announce the results of the talks this afternoon (3 p.m.). Brandenburg’s Integration Minister Ursula Nonnemacher (Greens) will not be there. She has decided not to take part in the migration conference, said a spokesperson for the ministry. As a result of the deadly knife attack in Solingen, a nationwide debate about migration policy has broken out.
