Following a heated debate in the Bundestag, the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party has filed criminal charges against Federal Chancellor Friedrich Merz. The charges stem from Merz's accusation that the AfD wants to carry out 'ethnic cleansings' based on origin and skin color, using the term 'remigration'. The AfD rejects these accusations and considers them defamatory. Several historians have also criticized Merz's choice of words.
