Conservatives are taking aim at Germany's dual citizenship rules, again

Multiple conservative leaders have jumped on a national debate around immigration to call for changes to Germany's dual citizenship rules, which were liberalised last year.

Conservative leadership would like to tighten the country’s naturalisation laws, and even largely do away with current rules that allow many foreign residents to achieve dual citizenship.

Some conservative politicians from the Christian Union parties (CDU/CSU) are pushing the issue again, calling for specific reforms and also hinting at a larger goal to walk-back the nation's liberalised naturalisation laws altogether.

It’s no secret that Germany’s conservative leadership would like to tighten the country’s naturalisation laws.
