+++ Bundespolitik +++: Merz zur AfD: „Remigration“ ist Synonym für ethnische Säuberungen

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz harshly criticized the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party's proposed "remigration" policies, arguing that they amount to ethnic cleansing based on origin and skin color. According to Merz, "Remigration" would devastate Germany's economy and cripple skilled trades, nursing homes, hospitals, and restaurants.

His strong condemnation comes after the AfD's landslide victory in Saxony-Anhalt, where they narrowly missed securing an absolute parliamentary majority. Merz further accused the AfD of being under the influence of Russia, ignoring the recent airport attack there, and supporting disinformation campaigns aimed at destabilizing Germany's democracy.
