Wenn die AfD eine Wahl gewinnt, übernimmt Merz die Forderungen der AfD. Wenn die Linke eine Wahl gewinnt, will Merz das Grundgesetz ändern, damit die Linke ihre Ziele nicht umsetzen kann.

@AwetTesfaiesus Wow. Danke.

Thousands of people demonstrate against the rise of the far right in Berlin.

Masses of people, seen from the back, move along Friedrichstraße in Berlin. A big poster with a traffic sign reads "rechts abbiegen veboten" (no right turns).
