The Parliament of Germany rejected on Friday (31) an opposition bill that provided for the hardening of immigration policy, two days after the opposition conservatives were accused of violating a non-cooperation agreement with the extreme right.
Opposition leader Friedrich Merz said the new law would be a necessary response to a series of murders in public spaces by people of immigrant origin. Conservatives lead polls for the early election of February 23.
A similar motion presented by him, not binding, was approved on Wednesday (29) thanks to the support of parliamentarians of the alternative to Germany (AFD), causing a wave of protests from the public, politicians and even some members of his own party for an alleged violation of the agreement not to work with the far right.
A DeutschlandTrend survey for public television has revealed that 67% of voters support permanent border controls, including more than half of social democrats supporters of Chancellor Olaf Scholz.
