The political landscape in Germany is facing a transformative moment as Friedrich Merz, leader of the CDU, aligns with the far-right AfD by passing a controversial asylum seeker crackdown. This unprecedented move breaks a longstanding commitment among mainstream parties to resist collaboration with radical elements. As the election date approaches, the implications of this decision could reshape the electoral prospects for both Merz and the centre-left opposition, who now have an opportunity to reposition themselves as custodians of democratic values and economic future amidst increasing pressure.
Merz’s decision to collaborate with the far-right AfD marks a significant shift for Germany, flipping the established political norms and raising concerns for future governance.
The outcome of this vote, celebrated by the far-right, signals a potential shift in Germany's political landscape and questions the ethical implications for mainstream parties.
