The CDU's internal politician Armin Schuster said that numbers of refugees were not predictable in this dimension. The bamf could not be Lord.
Green Group vice-president Konstantin von Notz said that bamf should have been better positioned 2012 and 2013. However, Friedrich did not react as a responsible minister of interior of CSU despite reference. From point of view of Left party, blame lies with ministers.
