The EU has decided to tighten its right to asylum. The Greens are divided: Ricarda Lang criticizes, her co-leader Omid Nouripour defends the compromise.

In recent days, there has been fierce criticism about a possible tightening of EU asylum law. More than 700 members of the Green party have warned against the possible change in asylum law in a letter of protest to the party leadership. The German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock says the decision is long overdue.
