AfD's Chrupalla Slams Merz's 'War Economy' Plans
AfD's federal spokesperson, Tino Chrupalla, has slammed Friedrich Merz's plans to amend the Basic Law and scrap the debt brake, accusing him of pushing for a 'war economy' and 'waste and warmongering'. Chrupalla envisions a 'future of peace and prosperity' for Germany.
Chrupalla's criticism comes as the 'traffic-light coalition' of SPD, Greens, and FDP prepares to take office. Olaf Scholz, SPD candidate, is set to become the shadow chancellor. Meanwhile, Merz, from the CDU, has proposed changes to the law that Chrupalla argues are outdated and inappropriate for the current Bundestag.
Chrupalla's remarks highlight the political divisions in Germany as the new coalition takes shape. AfD's vision for the country contrasts sharply with Merz's proposals, setting the stage for potential parliamentary debates.
