In an approving tone, Merz said the number of refugees fleeing to Germany had fallen since he took office in May, “but we still have this problem in the cityscape, and that is why the interior minister is working to carry out large-scale deportations.”

        And the chancellor himself approves of what they say!

        That is the annoying part that they either still not understand or they really want the far right in power. I’m at the point now where not knowing isn’t really a viable explanation anymore. The other explanation is scarier though.

          No he is just stupid. He thinks the AfD only exists because Merkel was too left and all he has to do is move back to the right, which he sees as “the Center” apparently, which only further legitimate the AfD as only directly right to “the Center”.

        And then puts stuff up for vote in parliament that he knows will only succeed because of votes from AfD.
