If any of that were true, there would be no AfD. It was the Christian Democratic Union that opened the floodgates on immigration, was voted out for it, and the Socialists and Greens were just voted out for not stopping it. Merz has already vowed not to allow the conservative populist, reformist, and "anti-immigrant" AfD - most of which came from the CDU - into the government.
