Partidul cancelarului Merz s-a aliat cu extrema-dreapta și a votat într-un oraș interzicerea unor plăci comemorative ale Holocaustului: „Sunt consternată”

A city in East Germany has approved a motion blocking Holocaust memorial plaques, supported by the far-right AfD and the ruling CDU party. This decision has sparked controversy as AfD, which often challenges Holocaust remembrance, gains popularity in national polls. Local council members voted against new memorials, opting instead for a single memorial site. The move raises questions about CDU's informal exclusion of cooperation with AfD. Jewish community leaders expressed shock at the CDU's support for the extremist party's agenda, contradicting city administration recommendations.
