Chancellor Merz Faces Backlash Over Controversial Migration Comments

In response, Merz stood firm, advocating for a transformation in migration policy while facing backlash from demonstrators who gathered outside the CDU headquarters in Berlin. The protest, organized under the slogan 'We are the Daughters', highlighted feelings of offense among those with migration backgrounds, exacerbated by Merz's comments.

NRW Minister-President Hendrik Wüst also defended Merz, acknowledging the existence of urban challenges while emphasizing that political discourse should reflect the public's concerns.
The situation remains tense, with ongoing protests and discussions suggesting that migration policy and its societal impacts will continue to be pivotal issues in German politics.
