- The resolution came under pressure in 2026 after the CDU’s Mittelstandsunion in Brandenburg sought its repeal in July, Sven Schulze called the debate obstructive and Friedrich Merz distanced himself from the term but not the substantive rejection.
not because all are Nazis, not because all voters are Nazis— Armin Laschet, CDU politician, said on the ARD talk show with Caren Miosga, explaining why the CDU would not form a coalition with the AfD.
