German vote favorite Merz vows asylum reforms after knife attack

German election frontrunner Friedrich Merz vowed Thursday to make "fundamental changes" to asylum law after a deadly knife attack on a kindergarten group that resulted in the arrest of an Afghan migrant.

Merz said that if he wins the February 23 election and becomes chancellor, he would immediately impose a "de facto entry ban... for all those who do not have valid entry documents."
