Friedrich Merz, acuzații dure la adresa AfD, după victoria zdrobitoare din Saxonia-Anhalt: Promovează epurarea etnică
German Chancellor Friedrich Merz criticized the far-right party Alternative for Germany (AfD) in parliament, accusing it of promoting anti-immigration policies akin to ethnic cleansing and supporting Russia against German interests. He emphasized the importance of immigrants in skilled jobs and warned of the societal and economic consequences of AfD's agenda. The remarks followed AfD's significant electoral success in Saxony-Anhalt, where it secured 43.8% of the votes, prompting protests against its rise. The CDU and other parties lagged far behind in the election results, highlighting a growing concern over AfD's influence in German politics.
