@lazyb0y nothing in the above is meant to support anything else about Merz‘ politics. I agree with you that he‘s made a similar mistake that politicians in the US and elsewhere have made, by suggesting that the fascists are maybe sorta kinda halfway right, rather than rejecting their inhuman program in fullness.
But he was right about “remigration“, if only just this once. Most importantly, the AfD‘s defamation action is just the kind of thing authoritarians do.

@lazyb0y if the AfD-ler thought they could suppress an idea, let them find themselves surrounded by it, everywhere.

the problem in german politics is not details of the meaning or intention behind a single word.
the problem is that the chancellor and his team is actively doing deportations right now
people who wrote a wrong character into some immigration form years ago and who never committed any crime are being picked up from the workplace where there are needed and respected to deport them
theres nothing to believe nor praise this very bad person says.

no, he’s not saying a bit of criticism against migrants is maybe sorta kinda right
he’s promoting purely racist views, fighting brutally against critics, as well as the poorest, illest and weakest people in the society.
he himself is very much not a big lot less fascist than the ones he calls out to be the bad extreme right wingers.
that’s not just a nuance of difference on how you spell it.
its dangerous to assume he’s significantly better than the ones he’s criticizing
