“I have nothing to take back,” Merz said on Monday when asked about comments he made about how cities in Germany look and why the government needs to step up deportations
“Just ask your daughters, if you have any, what I might have meant,” he told reporters in Berlin. “Everyone will confirm that there’s a problem, especially after dark.”
Very unsurprising, unless your perception of the CDU is purely Merkel. And it’s not even a problem, because the problem with AfD is not that there aren’t enough opposing options, but that the AfD carries a wide range of “right”, since the majority of them only have two major parties suitable to their opinions. Regardless how much you hate this whole range and view it as the same bullshit, it makes an impactful difference that each of them get represented individually.
