In late January, the CDU, CSU, FDP, and AfD enacted stricter asylum rules, ignoring warnings from church leaders about the implications for democracy. While public opinion favored tougher measures, there is significant resistance to involving the far-right AfD in legislative processes. The influence of the churches, represented by Gidion and Justen, highlights the tension created by this unlikely alliance, raising alarm over the potential erosion of democratic principles in Germany. Their call for a return to political integrity emphasizes the precariousness of cooperation with extremist entities, especially ahead of the upcoming elections.
Gidion and Justen expressed fear for German democracy, warning that significant harm could occur if mainstream parties collaborate with the far-right AfD, breaking previous political pledges.
Despite public support for stricter asylum measures, a majority of the German population opposes the idea of passing legislation with the far-right AfD's assistance, raising ethical concerns.
