AfD report provides a thousand pages of explosives-the situation in the morning

Dear readers,

Friedrich Merz brought his controversial migration application with the votes of the AfD. Now both turns out to be a boomerang for the new Chancellor. Especially the puts the new government under pressure. Leaf extracts from the opinion of the Office for the Protection of the Constitution provide detailed insights.

Actually, the paper, in which the protection of the constitution is meticulously disassembled, why the AfD is to be classified as right -wing extremist. But now the content of 18 pages of the 1108-page report is circulating. The examples and quotes from AfD politicians mentioned therein prove the image of a inhumane, democratic party, which continues to rush into a one-way street right at high speed. According to the constitutional protectors, it is also due to the fact that it could go that far, among other things because of the fact that liberal conservative members gradually withdraw and left the field to the extremes.

For Federal Chancellor Friedrich Merz an old question is now arising: How do this party deal with? After all, the AfD has been in all parliaments for almost ten years, provides the largest opposition and currently the second strongest faction in the Bundestag. It is considered to be democratic and was chosen democratically. This will not be forbidden. But maybe the party?

The green are pushing. Union and SPD are skeptical. The Chancellor is holding back with an assessment. Only so much: In the meantime, it is “unimaginable for him that MPs in the German Bundestag vote for AfD MPs to be committee chair.”

Before the GroKo is committed to how to deal with the party, it must analyze the analysis of the protection of the constitution. Only then can she apply for a ban procedure. The constitutional court then makes the final decision. To do this, the AfD would have to be demonstrated that it acts aggressive-combatally against the constitution. That should take.

Stricter asylum rules, with that the Union made the election campaign and also won it. But with his course, the new Chancellor is now reaching limits to be precise. During his first visit abroad, Merz received a ruffle of Poland’s Prime Minister Donald Tusk. He does not believe in the planned border controls. Poland does not see why it should serve as a catchment camp for those rejected from Germany.

To remember: In the election campaign, Merz announced that when Chancellor permanently checked all borders and rejected illegally in – even if the right to protection applies. According to the new Federal Minister of the Interior Alexander Dobrindt, it is probably not quite as strict. In the coming weeks, the number of federal police officers will be increased at the German borders, both on motorways and in towns. Not every asylum seeker who is found there should be rejected immediately. But an asylum application will no longer automatically protect against deportation.

Note for the textbook of the new Chancellor: Migration policy coordinated with European partners – as was also agreed in the coalition agreement with the SPD.

The public prosecutor is certain that with Christian B. to have found the kidnapper of Maddie McCann. The evidence alone is not enough. A British media report now brings new evidence to light and they have a tough one: In a raid, the investigators found pictures of B. disturbing images, chats with pedophiles and children’s toys. All of this is all because the investigators track down the evidence in 2016 and B. has no children.

The presumption of innocence still applies, but the suspicion confirms. If the question is still arising as to why this information was held back for so long and what they mean in the case. The investigators no longer have much time.

Appropriately, I would like to recommend a crime for you about which my colleague Leon Berent reports: The great-grandson of a Nazi victim tries to find out where his great-grandfather’s assets have remained. After all, it is about 400,000 euros. But the responsible bank refuses. Legally, it gets through because all claims to the heir have been statute -barred since the 1970s. But the plaintiff does not want to give up. Read the whole story here:

Have fun reading and a nice Thursday wishes you
