Merz also said that he would never accept any working together with the AfD, not in public not in private. Anyone in the CDU that would do so, would be kicked out of the party immediately.
Now whjat we have seen instead on the past year is the CDU working together with the AfD often on the local and state level. on the federal level they finally worked together about three weeks back, when they first passed a resolution against Migration and then barely failed to pass a law together. Merz said, it isn’t his fault if the AfD was voting together with them and if the other parties weren’t willing to pass the [far right anti human rights anti constitutional rights] laws together with them.
Merz is a far right populist and habitual liar. If he will not rule together with the pro Putin Nazis he will use it as a maximum threat for making a potential SPD coalition partner fall in line with him on all possible topics. If you follow more actively the next months, you will hear Merz lying day in day out.
Fair enough. I will probably read more about him within the near future. I’m not saying I absolutely believe he will stick to support for Ukraine and European independence, I’m just saying that I hope he does.
