    They didn’t quite get it right:

    1. The perpetrator was not due to be deported, he withdrew his request for asylum and pledged to leave on his own accord.

    2. Merz didn’t agree to start a coalition with the AfD, they merely agree on a key point (which is increased number of deportations for criminal immigrants).

      Exactly. I think there is a real danger that Merz will turn that into a coalition later and my personal opinion of him is that he is a particularly nasty example of a morally bankrupt piece of shit (and always has been). But let’s stick to the facts. This is neither a cooperation nor a coalition, yet.

        Agree, he’s a major dick who can’t be trusted. Same as cum-ex Olaf. We just don’t have any useful politicians with a semblance of backbone in Germany. Unfortunately the same is true for most of Europe.
