Bärbel Bas is under fire after dismissing concerns over welfare migration despite statistics showing heavy migrant reliance on state support.

Cracks are widening in Merz’s coalition as Social Democrats push for more immigration while the CSU calls for increased deportations.

Germany scraps Bürgergeld and its three-year citizenship rule, yet Merz’s “turning point” barely alters the system he vowed to overhaul.

Bärbel Bas says she will join Green-led discussions on banning the right-wing party.

Report released on the same day the party’s appeal of being labeled ‘suspicious right-wing extremist’ is heard in court.

Bas worries more about ‘populists’ being a threat to democracy than the establishment parties trying to outlaw a party with wide public support.
