Germany should consider leaving the European Convention on Human Rights if it cannot drive reform of asylum system, Jens Spahn said.

The centre-right Christian Democratic Union has put a hardening of migration policy at the heart of its pitch to the electorate.

Friedrich Merz , leader of the CDU and frontrunner for the chancellorship, has vowed to declare a national emergency.

Spahn said his party had moved on from the mistakes’ of the Merkel era in several areas of policy, including migration.

Germany is finally going through a long-overdue “repoliticisation” after the convergence of Merkel years , he said.
