The German SPD -Federal Chancellor Olaf Scholz has confirmed his allegations against the Chancellor Friedrich Merz that he had broken a historical taboo together with the AfD: “A taboo that you do not work with the extreme rights.”
“All Chancellor agreed on the entire history of the Federal Republic, from Adenauer to Brandt, Schmidt, Kohl, Merkel that the extreme law does not do a common cause, and even in November Mr. Merz said he would never do that,” Scholz also said in a ZDF interview.
The German Chancellor explicitly warned that a development can be repeated as in Austria in Germany.

“Historical day, but not good”
The SPD politician contradicted Merz, who had described on Friday as a good day before parliamentarism because of the violent debate on migration. “So probably a historic day, but not a good one,” said Scholz.
Reference to Austria
“It is important that there is no black and blue majority, otherwise an Austrian wake up can happen to us,” Scholz warned. Because even in Austria all parties would have said that they did not want to rule with the FPö. Then the ÖVP, as a Union Sister Party, even agreed to choose an FPö Chancellor Herbert Kickl. “So that’s a great danger. You can’t trust Mr Merz in these statements,” he added.
Scholz renewed the statement of a number of SPD and Greens top politicians that MERZ would also be named German Chancellor with voices from right -wing populists. Merz had rejected this.
