Germany: Protest Against Merz's Statement on 'Urban Landscape' and Migrants

Approximately 2,000 people protested in Berlin outside the CDU headquarters, reacting to Friedrich Merz's statements regarding the 'problem in the urban landscape' linked to migrants.

Merz, responding to questions about women's sense of insecurity in cities, refused to retract his statements. The organization 'Together Against the Right' organized the protest under the slogan 'We are the daughters'.

Criticism of Merz's statements came from the SPD, the Greens, and the Left. Armin Laschet called the statement 'very nebulous,' warning of potential benefits for the AfD.

Dennis Radtke called for a 'different style' from Friedrich Merz.
