I'm guessing you're from the US? Most European countries have a Christian democratic party which are typically fairly centrist and have respect for democratic institutions as a core value. Most became more socially conservative but were also central to how the European welfare state came about.
Originally the U.S. but, now in Canada for life. Becoming socially conservative is a red flag to me now. I'm not interested in anything "Christians" have to say as far as government policies go. They worry me but, thank you very much for this information!
I’m sick and tired of this type of criticism. Everyone knows that the migration issue in Europe is a quagmire. Therefore politicians like Merz deserve only praise for trying to solve it, instead of being bombarded with a cowardly criticism. Plus his ‘flirt’ with AfD is a russian lie.
I don’t understand how the other democratic parties don’t see the problem with illegal immigrants. Most of them don’t work , they don’t want to integrate in the EU , they do crimes etc. What is the problem if we get rid of them, just the illegal ones. If we don’t do something AfD will take Germany
Fella, I am German, and Merz is dangerous, and today's CDU leadership are repeating a lot of what AfD is demanding. Many Germans are scared right now, especially those with disabilities, the T in LGBTQ, the poor etc.
I am Dutch of Polish origin. You and me both understand the specter of fascism. But Germany (Netherlands too) must solve the current migration problem. If they don’t the AfD (or Wilders) will gain more power only. Merz is a lesser evil and you must know that.
We actually don't have a migration problem in Germany (migration numbers are down) but an integration problem due to cuts and lack of personal in the social and health systems. We are also a society with far too many old people, and it will only become worse if we don't accept young immigrants.
You are aware of the fact that Putin, Musk and the right wing extremists, are pushing disinformation FOR religion and the right wing, not AGAINST it, right? CDU is right wing and religious.
You ALSO have an integration problem, just like NL. Migration problem is largely a human-trafficking problem, organized predominantly by criminal pro-putin russians from within Africa. It concerns all EU territories and must be stopped, otherwise we get a Trump-like figure as a next EU President.
So you want to be against CDU ? And then what ? AfD will take the power in Germany and then ? Another Russian colony in EU, I’m from Bulgaria we have pro-Russian party here and it’s not good. We have a lot of Russian agents here and it’s not good. CDU and the other pro-EU parties must unite now.
