Merkel against Merz: ‘Mistake to seek votes from AfD’

The former chancellor criticises the CDU leader’s decision to accept support from the ultra-right on motions on immigration

Angela Merkel has expressed her disagreement with CDU leader Friedrich Merz’s decision to lean on AfD votes to push through more restrictive immigration bills in parliament.

The former chancellor called this opening ‘wrong’, pointing out that Merz, only a few months ago, had ruled out any collaboration with parties outside the centrist area. Her statements highlight the growing tension within the CDU on how to handle relations with the extreme right.
