The debate in the German Parliament has hired a new character under Alice Weidel’s acute rhetorichead of the far -right alternative to Germany (AfD). With phrases like ‘you have eliminated the people’he was strongly attacked by Chancellor Friedrich Mertz on his stance on immigration policy, focusing that the Merz line is considered inadequately strict.

Videl, describing Mertz as “useless” and “Chancellor only on paper”, did not hesitate to accuse him of “greater electoral fraud in German history”.

In contrast to estimates seeing the possibility of informal cooperation on deportations, Weidel and AfD’s attitude has become a strongly conflicting.
