German Chancellor Friedrich Merz has strongly accused the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party of pursuing a policy of “ethnic cleansing” through its calls for “remigration.” The accusation centers around the AfD’s proposals for the mass deportation of immigrants and people with foreign roots from Germany. Merz leveled the charge during a heated debate, directly confronting the party over what he deems a dangerous and extremist ideology. The AfD party has consistently advocated for stricter immigration policies and the repatriation of foreign nationals. This exchange represents a significant escalation in political tensions within Germany, highlighting deep divisions over immigration and national identity. The claims are likely to fuel further controversy surrounding the AfD, already under observation by domestic intelligence agencies.
