The German parliament rejects the opponent’s proposal of the law that supported the far right AFD | News of the election
Bill calling for stricter rules on migration rules widely criticized for undercoming a “firewall” against working with the end right.
The German parliament has closely rejected the proposal for the Law on Limiting the Immigration proposed by opposition conservatives with the support of the extremely right alternative to Germany (AFD), preventing the prospect of the law first adopted in modern German history thanks to the support of the ultimate right.
On Friday, after an unusually turbulent discussion delayed by long and unsuccessful compromise negotiations between the main parties, the bill was rejected from 350 votes to 338, with five restrained.
Germany is ready to hold Snap choices On February 2, after the collapse of the Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s coalition last year. Opposition leader Friedrich Merz made demands for a restrictive approach to migration at the center of his deadly knife attack last week with a rejected asylum seeker.
On Wednesday, the conservatives of his Christian Democratic Union/Christian Social Union in Bavaria (CDU/CSU) filed an inexperienced proposal calling for immigration action, with the support of AFD.
This move was wide criticized by the public and politicians who said it threatened the “firewall” main party against the extreme right parties.
Even former German Chancellor Angela Merkel, who rarely comments politics since her pension, stray Merz’s decision as “wrong”. Thousands of protesters also gathered on Thursday in front of the headquarters in Berlin Merz’s CDU. Other demonstrations were held elsewhere in Germany.
During the discussion on Friday on Merz’s proposal of the law, German foreign minister Annalen Baerbock, green, said: “You do not have to overthrow a firewall with a destruction ball to light your own house. It’s enough to hold a drill hole.”
“The first proposal on Wednesday and then the account today – what follows?”
Merz said, “You cannot seriously believe that we extend our hand to foreigners who want to destroy us?”
He said that “he would do everything in the coming weeks, months and if necessary, so that this party would not continue to grow and again becomes a peripheral phenomenon as soon as possible.”
“People out there … They don’t want to quarrel about AFD,” he said.
“They want us to come up with a solution for questions that people care about in their daily lives, and above all we want to reach a solution for people in our country to feel safe again,” he added.
The last result after the voting on the proposal of the law was welcomed by the short applause of the applause of the ruling Social Democrats and Green, which were the largest parties that opposed this immigration law.
But AFD leader Alice Weidel told reporters that the result was “outraged defeat” for Merz CDU leader. She added that she showed his inability to push through the measures that limit the immigration.
As a choice nearby, the polls show that the CDU leads with about 30 percent of support, while AFD is another with about 20 percent and social democrats and desires return.
This week’s maneuver, however, amplified the division between Merz’s block, Scholz’s left center and their remaining coalition partners, the ecological greenery of Merz may need to form a control coalition after the election.
