The rocks fell on the migration bill supported by the leadership of the “Christian Union” center-right, as well as its far-right AfD.
The bill was rejected in the Bundestag vote after a long battle. Specifically, it did not pass after 350 voted negatively, 338 in favor and 5 abstained. According to preliminary data, there were leaks from the parliamentary groups of parties that supported the bill.
This bill would make the framework for refugees more rigorous and the federal police responsibilities would be strengthened.
Merkel’s decisive intervention
Angela Merkel described the alliance between him and his resolution as a “mistake”.
Although the resolution was non -binding, it was the first time that a democratic dominant party was based on a far -right group after World War II to win the majority.
In a rare immediate intervention in politics since her last term expired in 2021, Merkel published an open letter saying that Merz – the conservative leader who has the lead in polls in the face of the early February 23 elections – He had followed a proposal that put a brake on any parliamentary majority that demands the support of the anti -immigration alternative to Germany.
