Germany Election: Cdu Members and German-Born Children

germany election: Merkel current centre-left coalition partners, the Social Democrats, insisted on dropping the requirement as part of their price for entering the government after Germany 2013 election, according to The Chronicle Herald. That was never popular with Merkel conservative Christian Democratic Union. Until two years ago, German-born children of immigrants from outside the European Union or Switzerland had to pick one nationality between ages 18 to 23 a rule largely affecting Germany Turkish community. Delegates at a convention in Essen narrowly backed a motion from the party youth wing that advocated returning to the old system. Wednesday decision appears to reflect a desire among some CDU members for a sharper conservative profile. Interior Minister Thomas de Maiziere had argued against the motion, noting that no potential coalition partner after next year election would agree to it. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
