A man who has been very favored to become the next Prime Minister of Germany has gambling extraordinarily this week, both in his political future and his long -standing firewalls for his political extremist.
He didn't go as he wanted.
Friedrich Mertz, leader of the Christian Democratic Party who leads voting, is a series of consolidation of borders and accelerating repatriations through parliament this week with the efforts to describe himself and his party as severe for immigrants. We have promoted measures. He did it with the help of the German party or the right -right alternative for AFD. Some of them are classified as extremists by the German Intelligence report.
On Friday, Gambit ended with Melz's overwhelming defeat. He opposed the party and claimed a new legitimate claim from AFD.
Meltz's willingness to rely on AFD has broken the German political taboo, which had been withstanding the end of World War II.
Melz faced the intense criticism of the political opposition, religious leaders, the Holocaust survivors, and the former Prime Minister Angela Merkel, who continued to be a member of Melz's party. Tens of thousands of people were demonstrated outside the conservative Christian Democratic party.
Melz has decided to bring a bill on Friday to enhance immigration rules on Friday, despite some of the criticism and retreat opportunities. I failed.
Last year, Melz was trying to solidify his advantages by showing a reliable voter to respond to seemingly unrelated anger over the seemingly unrelated killing of German immigrants. But with AFD, he couldn't find a vote for a change that could actually be a law.
The result was the worst that Melz wanted to avoid. There was no change in the Immigration Law, the enemies that gave a new vitality on both the left and the extreme right wings, and the public's suspicion of becoming a prime minister about his fitness.
Critics have now warned that if Melz became the prime minister, the so -called firewall of the country would be further broken and the government could form the government. AFD leaders say that the drama was encouraged and justified their party.
Journalists and many political analysts have teared Melz's decisions. “The Prime Minister's candidate was incorrectly calculated,” Fabian Reinbold wrote in one of the most important weekly papers in Japan. “And now, he personally has great damage to him, but probably for democracy, who must endure his enemy.”
Melz's decision this week shook what was a static campaign before the German election on February 23.
The race, which focuses on the unstable economy of Germany, suddenly became all about the right end and its best problem. This is the second time in national voting, boosting both Meltz's mainstream opponents and AFD.
Opinion polls continue to show that Melz wins the race and is most likely to form the next government. The voters seem to be angry with the incumbent parties, the social Democratic Party, the inflation and economic stagnation, and want to move on from the current Prime Minister Oraf Scholtz.
But Melz changed the race and gave his rival a new debate.
The shake -up and Melz's decision, which caused it, said that the Afghan immigrant in Bavarian said that the authorities had a mental illness, killing two people who avoided the expulsion of abroad.
Melz has expressed his anger and set up a course to guarantee that the Christian Democratic Party can rely on the overhaul of the immigration law.
He brought two different claims to the parliamentary floor on Wednesday. One focused on immigration borders and overseas expulsions ordered abroad, and the other focused on giving more authority to secure national security.
Both movements included a language that attacked AFD. However, the AFD just voted for them, and helped the support for the movements that handle borders and expulsions.
“We take it to the people of our country, especially the victims of recent violence, and have a desire to have an asylum who restricts illegal immigration, detention, detention of the country, and obliges the country. Melz is making all the efforts to go. ” He added that seeing AFD, which celebrates the passage of the law, is “unbearable.”
The next day, Merkel commented on unusual public comments, accused Melz that many people, including the Nazi slogan, and many people, including the Intelligence report in Japan, are relying on the party in consideration of the threat to the constitution of the country. did.
“I believe it is wrong,” Merkel stated in a statement, “To make it possible for German moderator to vote for the first time in AFD.”
Others did so. Albrecht Wineberg, a 99 -year -old Holocaust survivor, has announced that it will return the medal awarded in 2017.
For many years, the mainstream political parties have refused to work with the right end. Even if the AFD won votes in the national election, the mainstream leaders' leaders guarantee that the party would be closed out of the government.
Meltz's political operation was designed to recapture voters who had difficult rights. But for now, it seems to be backfired, and AFD seems to be the only clear winner in this case.
Several members of Meltz's party abstained and several members of Meltz's party cheered when the measures passed on Wednesday. They exchanged hugs and took a group selfie on the parliamentary floor. Melz sat just off his feet and seemed grumpy.
Alice Wydell, a candidate for AFD, told the reporters that the voting on Wednesday has shown that if the right edge and the Conservative Party cooperated, the election could create the majority in Congress. 。
On Friday, the rival's mainstream political party tried to find a way to make conservatives back from the brink, and to temporarily shelve the bill by sending the bill to the committee. However, after a three -hour break in Congress, Melz claimed to vote and lost with a narrow margin of 12 votes.
In fact, he doubled, and after the collapse of the three unions of Scortz, he retreated from the telephone he made in November, so that the mainstream political parties did not cooperate to pass through the law. 。
One of the current questions is whether Melz can reunite the broken coalition. The other is whether he may further proceed to allow his conservatives to allow the right edge to collaborate with his conservatives.
This week, several members have evoked Austria. In Austria, it seems that there is now a rules between the solid Liberal Party and the Austrian People's Party on the Central Right. It used to be a minority partner, but this is the first time that the right end ran the ruling union.
Melz keeps saying that he does not enjoy such a coalition, but even if it means voting in AFD, he continues to say that immigrants have demanded action.
“There are many people who may be concerned about our democracy stability,” said Melz before the voting on Friday.
