True, but Merz is far More right than Merkel was, especially, when speaking of women and immigrants.

Also Merkel got a lot more percent oft the public vote (that counts here - wie do not habe the winner takes it all). Merz got the second worst result of his Party in history and will need to make a coalition with maybe even 2 other parties.

Merz re-iterating the "no AfD coalition" statement has reassured me somewhat. If they need two other parties that's probably even better, because it doesn't seem like any of the other major players would tolerate being in an AfD coalition

He can ban the fucking Nazis for being Nazis if he wants to reassure people.
