Political positions

As a member of the state parliament

One focus of his political work in the constituency was the maintenance of the police headquarters in Tuttlingen , which is to be closed in the course of the evaluation of the police structural reform in 2012 . He also spoke out in favor of maintaining the Tuttlinger Danube dam in the summer months. Berg's small inquiries included illegal entry across the borders between Baden-Württemberg and Switzerland and France , the number of child marriages and Salafism in Germany , which he described as "an acute threat to our democracy". In the 16th electoral term of the state parliament, he put the second most small questions of all MPs.

As a MEP

On the occasion of the reshuffle of the Italian government from Cabinet Conte I to Cabinet Conte II , Berg praised the policy of the previous Interior Minister Matteo Salvini ( Lega ): Rescue at sea in the Mediterranean was "absolutely worth supporting", but the people who were apprehended should then be brought to North African countries. In Europe, the majority of those rescued could neither earn a living nor integrate in the long term, says Berg: "The emergency braking under Salvini was ok."
