Scholz criticizes Merz: CDU-AfD alliance is a taboo break!

In an intensive conversation with Sandra Maischberger, Chancellor Olaf Scholz (SPD) expressed his deep concerns about the CDU and its recent coordination on migration. In doing so, he accused the Union of removing democratic values ​​by consent to an application from the CDU, which was supported by the AfD and the FDP. Scholz called this a "break" and warned of the possible consequences of such a political course. "Only a week ago I thought Friedrich Merz was serious, now I can no longer say that," said Scholz angered about the CDU.

Scholz made it unequivocally clear that Merz's support shake its credibility for the AfD. He criticized that Merz cooperated with extreme rights and thus endanger the trust between the parties. "The toleration of the AfD by the Union is an unforgivable mistake," he added. Scholz also flew the serious fear that the Union, if it came to power after the Bundestag election, could enter into a coalition with the AfD.

violent debate in the Bundestag

In the meantime, a violent debate in the Bundestag broke out about migration policy. Scholz accused Merz to give up the delimitation to extremely right parties in favor of populist votes. "They accept the support of the AfD for illegal proposals," criticized Scholz. This week, the Union presented two applications and a draft law to tighten migration policy, with Merz explaining everything to prevent a coalition with the AfD. However, he also emphasized that he would accept the approval of the AfD for his migration proposals in order to act against violence and threats.

The CDU boss announced a five-point plan to combat irregular migration, which, among other things, provides for an entry ban for people without valid documents. The vote on the applications, which should take place on Wednesday after a memorial event to exemption from Auschwitz, is expected with great tension. In this vote, the Union, AfD and FDP could do a common cause, even if concerns within the FDP and the Union have been loud.

Scholz 'warnings and rejections

Scholz also expressed legal concerns about the proposed project. He emphasized that party bans have to be carefully prepared and there are legal hurdles. At the same time, he pointed out that the AfD was observed by the protection of the constitution. When asked about a possible prohibition application for the AfD, he reacted with the determination that such steps could not be made lightly.

As part of the discussion, Scholz also went into the geopolitical Situation and pointed out that he was not responsible for the Ukraine conflict. To Donald Trump's proposal to want to move all Palestinians out of the Gaza Strip, he expressed that this proposal was absurd and warns of the danger that Europe could be small.

The Bundestag election, which is scheduled for February 23, 2025, is increasingly shaped by these debates about migration and the role of the AfD. Scholz made it clear that he was concerned with preventing a majority from the Union and AfD at all costs.
