Surely that only happens when they go left?!
It's a matter of perspective.
Ladt time they did, it was Poland. At least that directionally made sense.
Merz playing victim because a law he proposed but didn't actually want to be approved was approved is the best proof he's serious enough to be chancellor. /s
Why isn't this junk party (AfD) still banned in Germany? And do they have centre-left/liberal parties in Germany, not conservative ones?
There's the greens and technically the SPD although the SPD also picked up right wing taking points but not to the extreme that the CDU who now basically peddles the AFDs policies. Why the AFD isn't banned yet i don't know. It's a sad state

It's terrifying. SPD/CDU, if I'm not mistaken, are two popular parties in Germany. I suppose they turned to right wing because of immigration and hysteria around that
The CDU hasn't turned right wing, they were always right-wing and masqueraded as centrist. Merkel was part of the left-wing of the CDU (i.e. center-right) which caused many of the right-wing of the CDU (i.e. far-right) to leave and join the AfD. Merz is and has always been part of the right-wing.
"There shall never be a democratically legitimated party right of the CDU" - a CDU party leader, 1970
By the way, I heard Merkel and Scholz had pro-Russia stance, and it's was a Merkel's fault, when she let a lot of immigrants into the country
