# German Chancellor Friedrich Merz has accused the far-right Alternative for Germany party of advocating anti-migration policies that were tantamount to “ethnic cleansing”. He addressed Parliament following his party, the Christian Democratic Union’s bruising defeat in the eastern state of Saxony-Anhalt, where AfD won almost 44-percent of the vote. Merz says the AfD has harmed German interests by supporting Russia. He added that the party’s “remigration” policy will affect millions, meaning that no single care home, hospital or restaurant could function.
