"These comments were done just before the EU parliament elections. As such, I tentatively consider them to be campaigning slogans, in particular an attempt to schmooze right-wing voters.
Given that the ruling coalition is one of the losers of this election, the right-wing AfD only a slight percentage gainer (but given the voter turn-out, only got about the same number of votes as in last general election), and the big winners are the Greens (who are infinitely more knowledgeable about such things and won't do it), I hold my breath that such a law ever would come to pass."
I will freely admit to not following the local politics in the rest of the EU, but here in the UK, the EU elections for MEPs rarely reflect our local Parliamentary results.
