The recent statements of the leader of the Bavarian Csu on asylum seekers have opened another front of opposition inside the Social Democrats. Over the weekend the Christian Social Horst Seehofer announced "tough measures" against the large number of asylum applications from the western Balkans. "We have to stop and reset this 40% of abuse," Seehofer said. The statement was stigmatized today by the Secretary General of the Spd, Yasmin Fahimi: "It's really miserable the attempt to foment a climate against refugees in Germany.".(ANSA).
