CDU official warns of weaponized migration via disinformation, urges EU defensive posture

German CDU interior policy spokesman Alexander Throm claims foreign states are using disinformation to trigger mass flight movements against Europe, calling for tightened asylum rules and a defensive EU stance. The claim is an assertion without corroborating evidence, reflecting a political narrative rather than a confirmed operation. This matters as it signals a hardening of German conservative migration policy ahead of potential elections.
