CSU moderates tone in asylum debate

berlin - Leading members of the CSU have tempered the tone of the asylum struggle in the ranks of the German Christian Democrats. Prior to a party meeting on the migrant problem, leader Horst Seehofer, the current Minister of the Interior, said that he assumed the existence of the coalition.

When politicians and the media think that the alliance with the Social Democrats is soon to dissipate, this testifies to 'unworldliness', Seehofer stated on the Focus Online site. Party colleague Alexander Dobrindt supported him with the comment: 'CDU and CSU are a community connected by fate. '

Background to the quarrel is Seehofer's plan to refuse asylum seekers registered elsewhere in Europe at the German border. Chancellor Angela Merkel is against this 'national egotrip'.
