Friedrich Merz, expected to be Germany's next chancellor, has surprised many by forming an alliance with the far-right AfD to push anti-immigration legislation, breaking his prior commitment. This move has largely been accepted by voters, who prioritize stopping migration over the political implications. Although the protests and criticisms from former leaders like Angela Merkel have been notable, Merz's CDU party remains the largest in the polls. His unpredictability poses questions about his potential chancellorship as he aligns with increasingly radical sentiments on immigration.
In a move that broke political taboos and his own promise, Friedrich Merz backed an anti-immigration motion with the AfD, showing voters prioritize migration control.
Despite protests and opposition, Merz's decision to partner with the far-right AfD reflects the growing voter sentiment that migration must stop, regardless of the method.
