German conservatives accused of blindness to far-right danger

Original: Warum ist die Union auf dem rechten Auge blind? Weil sie die Gefahr immer bei den anderen sucht. Im Januar 2025 nahm sie

Germany's Union parties are facing criticism over their handling of the far right. In January 2025, the CDU/CSU accepted a majority in the Bundestag that depended on AfD votes. Shortly afterwards, the party submitted 551 parliamentary questions about anti-far-right groups such as Omas gegen Rechts. Critics say this shows the Union ignores right-wing extremism while targeting the groups that oppose it.
