Germany

Germany The far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) faction in the Bundestag has filed a criminal complaint against Chancellor Friedrich Merz. The move follows his remarks during budget debates, where he labeled the AfD's "remigration" concept as "ethnic cleansing based on skin color and origin." AfD parliamentary manager Stefan Brandner argued that Merz's statements constitute defamation and carry legal significance, asserting the party stands firmly by the Basic Law. @Slavyangrad
