The traffic lights broke prematurely at the permanent dispute. But in their last days together, Chancellor Scholz and Vice Chancellor Habeck completely agree: Together with the Union, red-green does not want to tighten the right of asylum on Friday.
Chancellor Olaf Scholz gave a clear cancellation before the vote on the influx limitation law on Friday. “This is something that is a taboo break. To be right with the AfD, there is no reason for that. And Friedrich Merz himself explained in detail in the German Bundestag why that shouldn't happen exactly,” said Scholz in an interview with RTL and NTV. Scholz reminded the CDU boss of his own statements from November, in which he had excluded any cooperation with the AfD. “Merz said in detail: 'We will neither decide on applications together, nor do it take the administrative decision or anything.' And he said that the SPD, the CDU, GREEN and FDP were broken. Truth for our country. “
The Chancellor emphasized that in conversations you bring together different positions about laws and do not simply make suggestions that others could agree with or not. “This is a policy that is not geared towards consensus and cooperation, but who wants exactly that, namely the approval of the Afd. And he doesn't need support for that,” Olaf Scholz told the broadcasters.
Habeck pulls his hat off to Merkel
The green Vice Chancellor Robert Habeck commented similarly. When asked whether the Greens could vote with the Union under any circumstances in the Bundestag, the Economics Minister told RTL and NTV: “No, we cannot do that because the situation that was made here is a blackmail situation. right with us, or I agree with the AfD. “
Habeck rated Habeck as a signal that Angela Merkel brought himself into the debate today and criticized CDU party leader Merz. “And that the Chancellor AD, who has been out of everything for a long time, is now not a coincidence. . And thanks for the straightforwardness and steadfastness. “
Habeck said that in principle one could work with the Union, have united 20 laws in the last two or three weeks. “You can talk to each other well if you want. But in this case he has produced a situation that cannot be accepted. Otherwise democracy is blackmailed by the AfD.”
