Pro-Erdogan demonstrations in Germany, Austria, the Netherlands and Belgium; Terrorist attacks in Germany and France. Against the background of these events representatives of conservative parties throughout Europe have questioned dual citizenship. In Germany, Jens Spahn from the Christian Democrats was the first to claim ending dual citizenship toleration for jus-soli-children. The Austrian Foreign Minister Sebastian Kurz demanded enforcement of an existing ban against dual citizenship.  More recently, Nicolas Sarkozy of the French Republicans promotes a stricter course on dual citizenship for those with a criminal record.
