The former Chancellor and former CDU chairman Angela Merkel criticizes the Union Chancellor candidate Friedrich Merz because of the asylum vote in the Bundestag with votes from the AfD. In a just published explanation, Merkel emphasizes that she thinks the position of CDU boss Merz from November is right that majorities should only be searched with parties in the middle. “This proposal and the attitude associated with it were an expression of great state -political responsibility that I fully support,” explains Merkel.
