A controversial vote in the German parliament regarding stricter asylum rules has caused a major political uproar.
The far-right AfD party's support for the motion, proposed by CDU leader Friedrich Merz, has ignited widespread criticism.
Chancellor Scholz strongly condemned the collaboration with the far-right, emphasizing the historical importance of this 'firewall'.
Merz's actions are seen as a significant shift from the centrist policies of his predecessor, Angela Merkel, and risk alienating voters.
