A man who is intended to be the next leader of Germany could rely on the support of the extremely right alternative to the German (AFD) party for the second time a week, which is a move that was widely convicted.
Friedrich Merz, the leader of the CDU Conservative Party, may need votes of AFD to pass the Law on the Law of the Immigration Act.
Former Chancellor Angela Merkel accused him of turning his back on the previous pledge not to work with AFD at Bundestag.
Merz defended his actions as “necessary” and said that he did not seek or seek AFD support.
“The right decision does not become wrong just because the wrong people agree to it,” he said.
On Friday morning, CDU said he had asked for a break before voting and it seemed to talk about whether the legislation should vote or send back to the committee.
The CDU leads to the polls ahead of the German Snap next month. AFD is currently elected second, although Merz has excluded any coalition with them.
Thousands of people went out to Germany streets on Thursday night, contrary to CDU cooperation with the far right.
Although voting on Wednesday has noted an inexplication proposal to change the immigration laws through Parliament, there will be actual legislation aimed at suppressing immigration numbers and the right to re -connect family.
However, his proposed measures are very likely that he will enter into force in February and – if they are – they could clash with the EU Law.
The proposed legislation is opposed by the party, including the current chancellor Olaf Scholza Social Democrats (SPD). Scholz is among those who have criticized Merz’s reliance on the AfD, calling him a “unforgivable mistake.”
“Since the establishment of the Federal Republic of Germany more than 75 years ago, there has always been a clear consensus among all the democrats in our parliaments: we do not create the usual thing with the extreme right of the right color,” he said.
In his rare intervention in politics, Merkel said she was breaking a pledge Made in November to work with the Social Democratic Party and Greenery to bring legislation, not AFD. She described the pledge as “the expression of great state political responsibility.”
Alice Weidel, the AFD leader, in the meantime, accused the main parties on Wednesday of disrespecting German voters, refusing to work with her party.
AFD sections are classified as right-wing extremists by domestic intelligence.
Wednesday voting showed that Germany had already been a freut debate about immigration after a series of fatal attacks in which the suspect was an asylum seeker, lately In the city of Aschaffenburg.
This became the central issue in the election campaign, which was launched by the collapse of the Scholz Management Coalition.
