“Your remigration is nothing more than ethnic cleansing.” German Chancellor Freidrich Merz said this, speaking in the Bundestag immediately after AfD leader Alice Weidel attacked him by saying that the government is finished.
The Chancellor underlined that there is consensus in the government on the expulsion of illegal migrants. “The AfD is a destructive force” that exploits Ukraine, “transforming the executioners into victims” Merz also said after Alice Weidel had accused the German government of escalating the war rhetoric while the US would try to stop it.
“The allure of democracy is being threatened by Russia,” he continued. “What distinguishes you is contempt for our democratic institutions and a constant personal denigration of the representatives of our state. This is the distinctive feature of your politics – he added – and this is the distinctive feature of your political action.”
