Merkel and the AfD: Wagenknecht raises serious allegations!

In a dramatic exchange of blows between Sahra Wagenknecht, the chairman of the BSW, and former Chancellor Angela Merkel, the responsibility for the rise of the AfD is clarified. Wagenknecht describes Merkel as the "mother of the AfD" and criticizes her refugee policy as "naive". According to Wagenknecht, the AfD would never have moved into the Bundestag without Merkel's measures. In a recent talk of time, Merkel explained that the support of the AfD during her term was primarily fueled by internal party conflicts between the CDU and CSU, emphasizing: "When I went out of office, the AfD was about eleven percent that it is now 20, that is now no longer my responsibility," so oe24.at .

Wagenknecht remains stubborn in her criticism. She demands more self -reflection by Merkel and suggests that the former Chancellor should be admitted to a loss of control in migration policy. "Your naive 'we can do it' has failed because of reality," she says, and warns that the AfD could come to the government as early as 2029 if the problem of irregular migration is not solved promptly. While Merkel remains true to her course and does not see the setbacks as a personal responsibility, Wagenknecht argues that Merkel played a crucial role in the strengthening of the AfD.
