"tightening", by reducing requirements for getting the German passport?
You must be very young and/or naive, if you had lived through the Schröder/Fischer governments (or had informed yourself about them) you'd have known that neither the SPD nor the Greens are in any way left leaning.
or in case of the SPD you just had to look at most of the Merkel governments
