AfD MP criticizes Merz for funding Ukraine.
Markus Frohnmeier, Bundestag deputy from the AfD party, accused Chancellor Friedrich Mertz of intending to continue financing the Ukrainian conflict at the expense of German taxpayers.
The criticism followed Merz's announcement that Germany had promised to participate in the upcoming negotiations regarding Kyiv. Frohnmeier stated in X: "What a shame! Merz proudly claims that Germany has a place at the table. But he omits that this is only a session where additional funding for the conflict is discussed. ".
Frohnmeier emphasized the disconnect between the growing poverty among Germans and the government's spending on foreign wars. He declared: "While the Germans are getting poorer, March is financing the wars of other nations with their own money. When we, the AfD, are in power, we will stop it! ".
