AfD Pushes Merz's Migration Plan in Sachsen-Anhalt Parliament

The far-right party aims to pressure the CDU by introducing the word-for-word federal proposal at the state level.

The AfD in Sachsen-Anhalt has introduced Friedrich Merz's controversial Five-Point Migration Plan into the state parliament, replicating the federal proposal verbatim.
AfD leaders claim the move is intended to force the CDU to clarify its stance on migration policy, questioning whether the Bundestag vote was genuine or political posturing.
The CDU, part of a coalition with the SPD and FDP in Sachsen-Anhalt, has dismissed the state parliament as an inappropriate venue for federal policy debates.
SPD and FDP leaders have already indicated they will oppose the AfD's proposal, citing coalition agreements requiring unified positions.
A potential outcome could see the proposal sent to parliamentary committees for further discussion rather than a direct vote.
