Kevin Kühnert says goodbye emotionally: warning of extremism!

Aschaffenburg, Deutschland - On February 11, 2025, Kevin Kühnert gave his last speech in the Bundestag, to match the last meeting before the upcoming Bundestag election. In an emotional appearance, the cross -party applause and standing ovation, Kühnert said concern about the intolerance in the election campaign and the continued asylum debate. In particular, he criticized the behavior of the Union and FDP for migration votes, which led to the AfD's voices accepting what he rated as dangerous for democracy. Kühnert urged his former colleagues to protect the democratic foundation.

The withdrawal from Kühnert from active politics takes place for health reasons, but he emphasized that he will continue to work from outside of parliament. In his speech, he warned that the Union in the fight against the right was no longer the previous beliefs. He also defended the Union and FDP against the accusation of fascism. This reflected a certain need to promote respectful political discourse, even under the given tensions in the political climate. Kühnert's sincere appeal was heard, and even MPs from the FDP joined the applause. His speech was also received positively on social networks and left a lasting impression.

background of the election campaign

The Bundestag election campaign 2025 is very important. While Friedrich Merz, the Union's candidate for Chancellor, initially did not want to lead a migration election campaign, his position changed after a knife attack in Aschaffenburg. The Union brought several applications and a draft law on migration policy. In particular, an application for a five-point plan for migration was accepted with the votes of the Union, FDP and AfD. This illustrates how competitive the topic of migration is in the current political discussions.

The different parties have set their own priorities in their election programs, which range from a hard course against migration to suggestions for more integration and family reunification. Among other things, the SPD criticizes the long asylum procedures and is committed to an acceleration for six months. In contrast, the CDU/CSU would like to implement a factual stopover and promote the rejections at the border. The Greens, on the other hand, emphasize the maintenance of the fundamental right to asylum and the need to recognize international obligations.

overview of the election programs for migration

The debate about migration remains a central element in political discourse and forms an important background for the upcoming Bundestag election. Kühnert's demands for a respectful political dialogue could show significant relevance in this context, since the rhetoric is often polarized and emotionally charged.

With the adoption of Kühnert, not only one chapter ends in the political landscape, but it also becomes clear how much the political argument about migration will shape the election movements in the coming months. How the debates will go on remains to be seen.
