[#]Germany: Mass #protests after #FarRight #AfD helps CDU/CSU

A non-binding motion to restrict immigration has sparked outrage after citizens said the conservative CDU/CSU broke a promise not to work with the far-right AfD. Protesters in Berlin gathered outside CDU headquarters.

January 30, 2025

Excerpt: "Wednesday's vote was harshly criticized by Chancellor Olaf Scholz of the center-left Social Democratic Party (#SPD), the #Greens, and numerous church and #CivilSociety groups as a breach of the post-war German taboo against cooperation with extremist parties.

"Until now, all of Germany's major parties have abided by the custom, having taken to heart the lesson of the Nazis' rise to power via democratic structures. The business-friendly FDP also voted with Merz.

"The alliance '#TogetherAgainstTheRight' called for Thursday's protest under the motto, 'No Cooperation With the AfD.'

"Protest co-organizer Carolin Moser, for instance, accused Merz and the #CDU / #CSU of making the 'AfD's #rightwing #extremism socially acceptable.'"
