MOSCOW (Sputnik) - Markus Soeder, the minister-president of the German state of Bavaria, called on the federal government on Saturday to overhaul the national migration policy after a deadly stabbing at a festival in Solingen.
"We need a working package law that would effectively curb illegal migration and lift the burden on the federal states and local authorities. Things cannot go on like this," he told German newspaper Berliner Zeitung.
The package law proposed by Soeder includes entry refusals on the border, a fundamental reform of the asylum law, repatriation agreements with the countries of origin and an extension of the list of safe origin countries.

The suspect was identified as a 26-year-old Syrian who came to Germany in 2022 and was to be deported but vanished.
