YouTube Description
as posted by the channelGermany’s likely next Chancellor Friedrich Merz just turned the election campaign on its head. He took a major political risk by relying on the far-right AfD party to deliver a majority in parliament for the first time. Tens of thousands of people took to the streets to protest against any cooperation with the far right. Did Merz just throw away his chance of a smooth ride to become Germany’s next chancellor? Or is he about to break the political paralysis around the AfD’s lifeblood issue: Migration.
DW Chief Political Editor Michaela Küfner, talks to journalist and author Justus Bender and Matthew Moore, DW's Political Correspondent.
